The Flyers chose to sit with the puck in their own zone and not advance into the Lightning's defensive 1-3-1 setup. "That's not hockey in my book," Pronger said. "Would you pay money to watch that? That was a [national] TV game, too. Look at the [offensive] players they've got there. Way to showcase the product."
