Pronger Sucks

[ProppRules]

And is 2nd in All-Star voting, despite virtually every fan of other teams hating him.

while pronger's skating legs are no longer what they once were, his shot blocking, ability to get his stick in passing and shooting lanes, and offensive prowess are still pretty elite, and we all know that come playoff time he brings a nasty mean streak to his game which carries teams. sure his legs aren't there, but i'll take pronger at age 36 over most defensemen younger than him.

Is this a joke? If it isn't let the guy find his game after missing training camp...he's the least of my worries on this team.

Did he get an assist on the Horton goal tonight? This thread is no joke and 2 good games do not excuse his horrid 2 months.

Hey, to each his own, but I do find it amusing too.

Anderwho, do two sub par months excuse a HOF career, and a guy who was one of the integral parts of this calendar year's CUp run?

Does the HoF career or last year's Cup run help the team this year?

ander, I get that you don't like the guy, and that he looks slow right now. But he is coming off of surgery at 36, and is a guy who is built to last 30 minutes a night straight through the playoffs. And they are winning. He is the top defensive scorer, so he is helping now. And he is a + player, so he isn't killing them. COme playoffs, there isn't another d-man on the roster I would want out there. Maybe in the league.

THe FLyers have allowed 20 goals in their last 4 games, using all three goalies. THey have lost 3 of 4. They are letting 37 SOG over the last 4, after averaging under 30 prior. I know some of this is the inevitable ebb and flow of the season. BUt don't you find it interesting it comes right after their best stretch of hockey, as soon as Pronger goes down?

This is the best post in this thread. It is dead on. What happens when Roo doesn't score for 10 games? will it be time to ship him off! Pronger has obviously been a HUGE key to the "D", just his leadership out there gives us a huge boost.

still not buyin this little slump as being pronger's absence.. however i am starting to wonder

regardless, it's for his outlet passes and leadership, not his defensive skills, which is the only area i've been so adamant about

 

[sportfan09]

pronger haters,like i said he keeps this team together leadership, experience,and down right great defensemen suck on that shit lol

8-3 without him.. not too shabby

 

[ProppRules]

Awaz, this team is flat out good. THey are deep offensively and defensively, and have goalies that can hold their own. And since they don't rely on any one player now, they can withstand an injury or two. It is great. If anything, this is more an indication of how quietly important Carle, Coburn, O'Donnell, and Walker are to this team rather than how "useless" PRonger is. It is something we haven't seen in Philly in a long time.

Imagine if he had been out there. My bet would be 11-0
