One hell of a virus, eh?

**Papps** · December 9, 2011, 4:16 PM

This is gross... He's going to Crosby's concussion doctor in Pittsburg wednesday.. We should have an update then.. I have both Pronger and Markov and was hoping for big things.. Now it's looking like i might have to drop both..

I had the same situation. Already dropped Markov and waiting to possibly do the same with Pronger now.

Tell me about it, dyz. I'm getting sick of every defenseman I have going down with injury. I'd like to know if I need to drop the guy or not. I can't keep playing short handed like this.

I'm going to start this post in one direction and spin it to the other:

Same docs as Crosby means you might as well drop him...They may clear Pronger for light walking by March.

This concussion era is BS... I'm sorry to offend, but I've had a few myself... and bottom line is... you do what you have to do. My migraines went away, and as long as I popped Excedrin before any games, I was fine.

Besides, Flyers have no shot at Lord Stanley without someone to make Bryz look top 10.

The one good thing... and only reason you hold Prongs... is that he is a nonconformist...not sure if that is a word, but regardless of the "right" thing to do, if he gets bored riding his bike, he will play...

I know how you feel.. I have Whitney (Was hurt and under achieving now) I have Markov who might never play and Pronger who now might or might not be done for the year.. I'd love to drop these guys but it's not that easy.. I lose all Prongers points (12) and if either comes back should be quite dominant.. FML

any word on Pronger's trip to the Doctor's????

I would like to drop either him or Giardano to make room on my IR for Skinner. Giardano isn't due for an update until almost Christmas. I need more info before I make any decisions.

Same question here: is there any point in keeping pronger on the IR in a one-year-league?

Any point? Dmen are at a premium in my league and WHEN he has played, he has been very valuable. It depends on how long the wait and how many injured players you have. For me, I already know Giordano is out for a while so i am trying to find out how longterm both Pronger and Skinner are. I'll probably go short-handed for a while or drop Giardano unless news is REALLY bad on Pronger.

update coming today according to reports

After seeing concussion Drs., PHI's Chris Pronger won't be playing anytime soon and I won't be surprised he doesn't play rest of season.

WOW that would be a big blow to the Flyers. Even if he gets back for the playoffs it would be huge boost to the team.

**jatz** · December 15, 2011, 6:30 PM

I just read that when they finally make an official announcement, that it might be "done for the season". Got my finger on the "drop" button.

In one sense, Pronger's condition from last week to this week remains unchanged. Indefinite last week, indefinite this week BUT...

...After seeing doctors in PIT for better part of yesterday, he's undoubtedly more aware of gravity of situation and time, lots of it, req'd
