Does anyone else see the mystery with Pronger's injury as a early attempt at gamesmanship?  Between the interview today with Pronger stating he has skated every day he is injured and playing with the media and Breire telling a Buffalo radio station that Pronger is out for the series, I'm starting to think he will be fine for Game 1 and they are just trying to draw the media attention and the Sabres attention away from the Flyers playing poorly at the end of the season. 

Personally I like it if it is indeed gamesmanship due to the fact that it shows me Pronger and the team are pulling out every trick in the book to win it all.  I just hope I'm right and it's not a case of his hand not healing correctly.

If Hextall could handle starting his NHL career against the greatest player ever, then why can't Bob handle his first start against the crybaby?  Jeff Reese stated the KHL is a slightly better league than the AHL.  If you believe that, then Bob has two years in the AHL and is ready for this. 

I have not been this excited about a Flyers game since..........June!  It feels like 86-87 again. 

Debate over?
