Off-season questions for Flyers and Capitals … Pronger may have a herniated disc … Glendale wants a year extension

  • Elliotte Friedman via twitter: Though there is not confirmation yet, it’s believed that Chris Pronger has a herniated disc that lead to the back and leg problems. Surgery could be a possibility.
  • Tim Panaccio of CSNPilly: “Unless the Flyers get a proven No. 1 goalie this summer to bide Bobrovsky and their other young goalies’ time, their window of opportunity will slam shut while the acquisitions of Pronger, Kimmo Timonen, Danny Briere, etc., will have been for naught.”
  • Sam Donnellon of the Philadelphia Daily News: The Flyers need a “name-brand goaltender.” How to get one? “Buy one, trade for one, kidnap one if they have to.” Rich Hofmann of  the Philadelphia Daily News: Flyers playoff goaltending,, “Eleven games. Three different starters. Six games when the starter left, either because he was terrible (three times), the team in front of him was terrible (twice), or because of injury (once).”
  • Mike Wise of the Washington Post: Bruce Boudreau isn’t the Capitals problem, it their nucleus of Alex Ovechkin and his 3 co-stars, who may not be ready. “This team doesn’t need a coach transplant; it needs a heart transplant for many of its young players.” Wise goes on to question Alexander Semin (“How do you say “prima donna” in Russian?) and Nicklas Backstrom for their lackluster play.
  • Slava Malamud of the Washington Post: ““The season is over, so I can start thinking about the future right now,” said Varlamov,  “I will see what happens. My wish is to stay in the NHL and to play for Washington. Hopefully, I can sign a deal soon.” There are rumors that he may head to the KHL, and when asked about what he’d do if the KHL made a better offer, “I am not ready to answer this question right now. But my childhood dream was to play in the NHL. I am only 23 and I would like to play against the best.”
  • Rebekah L. Saunders of the Arizona Republic: The City of Glendale pledges another $25 million to the NHL to keep the Coyotes in Glendale for another season while they work on a new owner. The city paid $25 million to cover part of the $37 million in losses this past year.
  • Andy Strickland via twitter: A source is saying that the Blues have received interest from a non-local buyer.
