Fresh out of the Obvious Headline Department comes the news that Chris Pronger wants to play hockey this season, and thankfully, Chris Pronger will play hockey this season. It’s just a matter of getting healthy, and in a talk with reporters on a conference call on Monday afternoon, Pronger gave an update on his rehab….
