Chris Pronger joins John Shannon and Daren Millard on
100% Hockey to break down which teams are starting to separate themselves from the NHL’s crowded middle — and why. Pronger looks at the
Boston Bruins, explaining how leaning into the identity
Marco Sturm is trying to establish has given them clarity, and compares that approach to
Colorado and
Dallas, two division rivals built very differently but with similar playoff expectations. Chris shares what he believes truly translates when the games tighten up in the postseason.
The conversation also turns to the ongoing
Jonathan Toews discussion, with Pronger offering perspective on how difficult it can be for a player of Toews’ age and medical history to step back into the league at full speed. The episode takes a timely turn when news breaks mid-interview of the
Edmonton Oilers trading Stuart Skinner to Pittsburgh, prompting Pronger to assess the move in real time and explain how — if at all — it helps both teams moving forward.
