Chris Pronger expects to play in all 82 games this season despite the fact that he may miss the beginning of training camp. "I'm starting to feel a little better and do a little bit more in the gym," he said. "I was cleared to start riding the bike a little harder. The goal is to be ready for Game 1 of the regular season. I'm starting to progress ... Once I get cleared, I can start to get into full lifting programs." Pronger also said that he doesn't feel any pain in his surgically repaired back, but his right hand that was repaired with a procedure last March is still giving him some problems. He commented that his hand is 80-85 percent healed. We'll keep you posted.
