s3x Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 http://www.sportsnet...pronger_injury/I was at the Flyers game in Montreal when Primeau hit the ice. I was about 11 rows up from the exact position where he fell, and it seemed like I was the only one who noticed how hard he hit his head. When his helmet his the ice, I thought it shattered. He curled both hands up to his head in pain, much like the way Lindros did when Darius hit him. The players didn't see it because the puck had gone up ice already, and none of the coaches or trainers said a word to Keith when he returned to the bench -- also seemingly unaware of his head hitting the ice. He went out for his next shift, played two more games, and called it a career."On Oct. 24 Toronto Maple Leafs forward Mikael Grabovski inadvertently struck Pronger in the eye with his stick after he shot the puck, but Pronger recovered and returned to the lineup on Nov. 9. However, after just five games, Pronger was removed from the lineup and has been sidelined with concussion-like symptoms ever since. "I fear the worst in this situation for Chris, and I wouldn't be surprised if his career was finished. I pray that it isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkscrewy Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 You realize this is all due to the fact that Pronger wears a size 9 skate, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nsflyersfan Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 as per tsn and the game tonight in Montreal : Pronger is shut down for the rest of the season and playoffs. At 37 years of age career is in doubt. Flyers will probably do what they did with Ratgjie? put Pronger on long terminjury so as not to affect the cap.

Flyguys03 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 He will have to be LTIR'ed for the rest of that god-awful contract. No other choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
