Pronger will in no way shape or form be rushed back this time....there is even rumors that he will be spotted throughout the season just to make sure he is healthy for the post season!
the decision was given to pronger from what i've read. if pronger didn't want to play he didn't have to. so the fact that pronger is playing tonight is 100 percent his decision. he probably just wants to get the timing of the game back before opening night, and i totally understand that. he knows how to take care of his body to be fresh for the course of the season. he will hardly go "all out" tonight
