After watching a number of post-game interviews and press conferences featuring Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Chris Pronger (courtesy of NHL.com’s and TSN’s websites), one thing is for sure: If a media member tries to be a smart-ass or asks a stupid question, he will get the same attitude back in spades from Pronger—and deservedly so.

While the media and hockey fans both thirst for interviews and press conferences, for the players, spending 20 minutes with the media—especially after a tough loss [...]

For Blackhawks fans the sound echoing in the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia is a lot like the air rushing out of a dude after said dude has been punched in the gut.

Amazingly, the Stanley Cup Playoffs are only half-way done. Yet only four teams remain, and this seems as good a time as any to pick the rest of the way… Philadelphia Flyers vs. Montreal Canadiens This was literally the only way the playoffs could have gone for Philly to have home ice. The East has [...]
