Chris Pronger had one bad game.  People who only days ago shouting his praises to the world (I'm talking to you PuckDaddy), now seem to think his career is over and he should hang up the skates. Give me a break. The reality is, even though Dustin Byfuglien had a four point night in game five, the only time he's lit the lamp when Pronger was on the ice is that open netter at the end of the game... and he quickly dumped that shot away before Chris pwnd him again on the open ice.

For Game 4, last Friday night, the Flyers pressured the Blackhawks and played their so-called “A” game and made me feel good about being a Flyers fan; at one point in the third period, there was a three-goal Flyers lead. On toward the end of the game, the expected crud started to show through the veneer; the Flyers let up a little, the Blackhawks started to get back into it in the last half of

You know what just occurred to me? That I wasn't that excited for last night's game. I mean, I wanted to watch it. But I wasn't on edge like I was for Game 3 and I wasn't riding a super-high like I was for Game 4. I was just happy that it was 2-2. I distinctly remember thinking multiple times that it was ok if the Flyers lost because they had already come back from 0-2 and tied it, relieving the real pressure of the situation. Is there a chance that on some level they felt that too? I'm not saying it would ever be nearly as blatant as this but didn't it look like there was a hint of 'well, this isn't a MUST-win.'
