PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- The ever-guarded Peter Laviolette tipped his hand. But make no mistake, this was hardly a slip-up.
Always coy and protective about who will be in his lineup, Laviolette strongly hinted Tuesday that Michael Leighton will be back in goal when the Philadelphia Flyers try to force a Game 7 in the Stanley Cup finals.
"I don't comment on lineups or goaltenders," the stern-faced Laviolette said at first on the eve of Wednesday night's Game 6 against the Chicago Blackhawks.

The Philadelphia Flyers star defenseman is hardly celebrating his portrayal Tuesday in a Chicago Tribune poster, that shows Pronger in a skirt beside a bold headline that declares, "Chrissy Pronger. Looks like Tarzan, skates like Jane."
