Chicago Tribune depicts Pronger as a woman
Sam Carchidi, Inquirer Staff Writer
The Chicago Tribune depicted Flyers defenseman Chris Pronger as a woman, calling him "Chrissy Pronger" in its cover story Tuesday and putting a skirt on him in a photo.
Pronger said he hadn't seen the photo.
"I really couldn't care, to be honest with you," Pronger said. "I'm worried about playing the game."
Pronger was a career-worst minus-5 in Game 5; before that, he was the best player in the Finals.

Goalie Michael Leighton will start Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals against Chicago on Wednesday, Flyers coach Peter Laviolette indirectly announced.
Leighton, who had three shutouts in the conference finals, leads the NHL with a 2.34 GAA in the playoffs, but he has struggled in the Finals (4.01 GAA; .864 save percentage).
But with Brian Boucher not fully recoverd from knee injuries, it's the right choice.....the only choice.

The Flyers will host a free pep rally outside the Wachovia Center on Wednesday from noon until 2 p.m. In addition to Flyers Alumni appearances and free hot dogs, Flyers fans can pose for photos with the Prince of Wales Trophy.

Vultures couldn't wait for Pronger to have a bad game....even Utube has a clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaFcxSoJdnA Time for some of the other players to man-up and start playing aggressive hockey and better forechecking. 1st line is a non-factor...Lavi has to mix it up, even if it means adding Corcillo. Flyers win tomorrow night and go from there.— dogman5- Comment removed.
- No one is angry. We're just pointing out a) the unprofessional nature of your news rag, and b) this is just bulletin board fuel, which, even though the Flyers don't need any, teams usually try to leave sleeping lions alone.— jman
- To chicago fan's credit, I looked at their board and they are not liking the pic one bit. Maybe hockey fans are the most mature. What in the world was the paper thinking? This is sportsmanship?— Pat Mac
- Typical Chicago dirtbag move from a second-rate city.— Steve Jeltz
- First a Chicago investigative journalist dressing as a Flyers fan goes undercover, then CSN Hawktalk website talks trash with every blog post, another article is published by some unknown radio host trashing the City as a whole, and now this? What is wrong with the Chicago media? Are they that bored out there in the midwest that they talk about everything but hockey? I have to commend the Inquirer and especially the Daily News for publishing quality articles, both professional and insightful. The Flyers need to put these trash talking hawks in their place.— petefreans
- Pronger should just go right off the opening drop and beat the daylights out of Buttfaglien and then squat over him and take a leak. That would pretty much shut them up.— Phedupwithphilly
- Hey Bleue, can you honestly say with the exception of game 3 we match-up with those guys? It's been a fun ride, but reality is staring us in the face. Not sure we can do it is all I'm saying..no shame in speaking the truth, I love our guys, but they are overmatched.— cheezsteak
- Nothing can stoop lower than Snyder having that leech Palin drop the puck. Go Blackhawks!!!— JonKap
- Reminds me of last year when the NY Post put a picture of Victorino in a skirt on their cover. I wonder why Newspapers are dying...— AndrewB55
