State of the Flyers...Chris Pronger

Next up in "State of the Flyers" is Chris mother fucking Pronger, I call him that because, well... hes a bad mother fucker!! Ill never forget watching the draft this year and TSN's Darren Dreger came on the screen and said "still awaiting confirmation, but multiple sources are reporting that the Philadelphia Flyers have acquired Chris Pronger" Literally I stood up, eyes wide open and said "holy fucking shit!!!" and then immediately called/texted all my Flyers friends and there reaction was very similar. Pronger is exactly what this team was missing last season-toughness & leadership, he will bring alot of both. Brian Burke said it best when he said that Pronger was born to wear the Orange & Black, and you gotta admit the orange sweater looks pretty good on him.

My favorite Pronger moment so far came in his introductory press conference when a reporter asked him how he plans on dealing with the likes of Crosby, Malkin, & Ovechkin, his response, "I think you know the answer to that" Then when pressed more for information on the topic he replied with an evil grin, "We dont want to pre-meditate anything now do we?" Seriously, all that was missing was a "moo hoo hoo ha ha ha" and some thunder in the background.

I cant wait for October 8th-the 1st Flyers/Pens game of the season, look for Pronger to set the tone for the season on that night (advice to the Pens, keep your head on a swivel)

I believe Pronger is the most important player on the team this season. He is going to be asked to provide leadership on and off the ice, QB the power play, mentor our young d-men (specifically Parent & Carle) & shut down the likes of Crosby, Malkin, Ovechkin. But if anyone is capable of doing all that....its Chris mother fucking Pronger!!

So lets review:
Acuiring Pronger: Lupul, Sbisa, 2 1st round picks
Signing Pronger: 7 years, $35 million
Watching Flyers dethrone Shitsburgh and win cup: Priceless

Next up...the rest of the "D"
