<p>Well it's now getting nasty now TSN article on Pronger. Here it is:<br><br><strong><font size="4"><font size="5">EAGER CALLS PRONGER OUT ON TAKING GAME PUCKS AFTER LOSSES</font><br><br>Despite his team being down 2-0 in the Stanley Cup Final, Philadelphia Flyers defenceman Chris Pronger appears to playing mind games with the Chicago Blackhawks.</font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">As the final horn sounded Monday night at United Center, and the Blackhawks left the ice as 2-1 winners in Game 2, Pronger skated down and picked up the puck.</font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">Pronger, who did the same thing after his Flyers lost Game 1 was met by Blackhawks forward Ben Eager on the ice, who called him on it.</font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">Cameras caught Pronger shooting a towel at Eager when he complained, and there was a verbal exchange between the two. Both players received ten-minute misconduct penalties. </font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">“He's been picking up pucks after the game, and I just told him he can keep it,” Eager, who scored the game winner on Monday night, said to reporters after the game.</font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">After the game, Pronger was asked about shooting the towel at Eager.</font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">"I don't know, did I?," answered Pronger. "Wow. You're intuitive. Good for you. Next." </font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">Reporters then asked what took place in the verbal exchange.</font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">"I don't speak that language, whatever he was speaking," said Pronger. "I couldn't hear him."</font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">Where's the puck, Pronger was asked.</font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">“It's in the garbage,” Pronger replied. “Where it belongs.”</font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">He was then asked if he would sell the pucks on eBay.</font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">“I don't know. Apparently, it got him upset. So I guess it worked, didn't it? It's too bad. I guess little things amuse little minds.”</font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">He briefly faced the wrong way at the start of his postgame media scrum and then joked he wasn't in for any overtime when it came to answering their questions. </font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">Pronger was a force once again in Game 2, logging 27:52 in ice time, the most of any player for the second straight contest. </font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">The 35-year old has also been charged with the task of trying to help shut down the Blackhawks top line of Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane and Dustin Byfuglien, and for the most part he's done that job well. Only Byfuglien has their lone point in the series, an assist, and the trio have been held to a combined 10 shots on goal, with a plus/minus rating of -7</font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">Throughout the playoffs, the Flyers have often taken their emotional cues from Pronger, who isn't ready to concede the series.</font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">"Yeah, I think we need to play with more desperation than we did, like the third period," he said. "We need to play with that passion, energy, drive, determination, like we did in the third through the whole game. It needs to be 60 minutes."</font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">Flyers coach Peter Laviolette said it was not something the team discussed before or after Pronger took the pucks.</font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">"I read it today on a website. I had no idea it happened and you guys are bringing it up," said Laviolette to reporters on Tuesday. "I can tell you we didn't talk about it in there (dressing room)... that didn't come up. We didn't talk about who's gonna steal the puck in Game 3."</font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">Laviolette said he didn't see how Pronger's actions could be adding fuel to the Blackhawks' fire.</font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">"What added incentive do they have now? They're mad? They're angry?," said Laviolette. "It's the playoffs. We are going to show up and compete like hell tomorrow night. I promise you that. I don't know what else they are going to do cause we stole their puck."</font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">"I think it's kind of comical. If Chris Pronger wants the puck then he can have it as far as I'm concerned. I don't have any problems with that. I don't know what the big deal is." </font></strong></p>

A great > "never say die" win for the Flyers.
A great > "never say die" typical playoff type win for this Flyers team in O.T. in game 3 & it looks like we've got ourselves more of series now with Friday night hopefully, looking like another great one? Kane's line looked like the best for the Hawks & Hartnell's for Philly so it looks like the lines expected to produce, finally are. <img src="http://redlinesonlinemessageboard.yuku.com/domain/bypass/images/thumbsup.gif" width="25" height="18"><p><br></p>
