Chris Pronger is done for the season. This is horrible news for Chris, his health, his career, his family, and his employer. And with the nature of the NHL these days, the news has quickly led people into speculation about what it means for the NHL, for player safety, and especially here, for the Flyers….
Today’s open discussion thread, complete with your daily dose of Philadelphia Flyers-related news… Peter Laviolette made some changes to the power play. I’d explain, but it would take a paragraph: [CSNPhilly] [delcotimes.com] [Philly Sports Daily] Chris Pronger was signing sticks for the Santa Sacks. (Please not those commercials already.)

It’s a shame Fred Shero isn’t alive to see his induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame this evening, but the coach who brought two Stanley Cups to the City of Philadelphia finally gets his day today. It’s been a long time coming, and it’s more than deserved. As we wrote back in July when…
No. 2: Two And A Half Men Probably my personal favorite, Two And A Half Men was thought up by both SethDH and Jason Aversano on Twitter. You have two men, Hartnell and Leino, and, half man, Danny Briere. Get it… cause he’s short. No. 7: Red Light District They light the red lamp. All…
