A) He is a defensman, and B) the Flyers had 6 25-goal scorers on their team going into the 09-10 season.<br /><br />Pronger was not brought to The City of Brotherly Shove for his offensive prowess. He was brought in to decapitate Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and Alexander Ovechkin. Short of that, his time in the Orange & Black is entirely wasted.Power Rankin'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08054298112662664500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8008022851635980816.post-77517577976634565072010-04-13T14:29:07.644-05:002010-04-13T14:29:07.644-05:00Yeah finishing 5th in points among all defensemen ...Yeah finishing 5th in points among all defensemen is truely a disgrace.

Don't blame the shootout for costing the Blueshirts their season and letting the Universal Scumbag Flyers into the playoffs.<br /><br />I am looking forward to Chris Pronger getting suspended at least once before Philly is ousted, though. It will be a fitting end to his utterly lackluster season that Philadelphia fans have nonetheless trumpeted as the greatest performance since Moses and the Red Sea.Power Rankin'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08054298112662664500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8008022851635980816.post-86583267007334722492010-04-11T17:21:50.467-05:002010-04-11T17:21:50.467-05:00Tortorella's all talk.
