The Russian Superstar Himself
The NHL just linked this on Facebook, so for those of you who haven't seen it - here's Jagr as he steps on to the ice as a Flyers! Tough not to get excited about the NHL season when you hear an all-time great saying that he just wants to win.

Chris Pronger named 18th Flyers Captain
Yesterday the Flyers finally anointed Chris Pronger the title that most say he's owned since his arrival in 2009. Pronger will ironically be the Flyers 18th captain in team history, as he replaces Mike Richards who was traded to the Kings in the off season.
He will have Kimmo Timonen and Daniel Briere wearing the 'A's beside him. Kimmo has been an assistant captain since his arrival in 2007, while Danny will be taking over for Jeff Carter. Danny had worn the 'A' in previous seasons when Both Simon Gagne and Jeff Carter had been injured.
Pronger hopes to be ready for Thursday October 6th when the Flyers enter TD Garden to face the Boston Bruins. The captain played just 50 games last season and will likely, hopefully if healthy, have plenty of days off this season.
