Nothing like a little gamesmanship heading into Game 3 in Philly.

After the game last night, Chris Pronger took the puck from the ice, preventing members of the Blackhawks from keeping it as a souvenir.  Former Flyer Ben Eager had something to say about it, so Pronger fired a rally towel at him (strange).  When asked about the incident by CSN Philly's Tim Panaccio, Pronger had the following responses: [CSNPhilly.com] [Yahoo Puck Blog]

See below for video.

      What happened?

"I couldn't hear
him, I don't speak gibberish," said Pronger, who picked up a misconduct
penalty at the very end and got into it with Eager.

Where's
the puck, Pronger was asked.

"It's in the garbage,"
Pronger replied. "Where it belongs."

You shot a towel at
Eager when he complained?

"So what," Pronger replied.

You're
collecting pucks now?

"Why not? What's wrong? It's
sitting there. What else is gonna happen to it? It's sitting there.
Sure, why not. You got a problem with that?"

Are you gonna
sell it on eBay?

"I don't know. Apparently, it got him
upset. So I guess it worked, didn't it? It's too bad. I guess little
things amuse little minds."
