I am as positive about Ghost returning into the lineup as many here. The team is in need for something to change because they know that they have been outplayed in more or less all of the games so far. May it be „preseason“ or not. Ghost‘s skillset should be welcome.
BUT: We need the Ghost from a couple of seasons ago to return. The one of the more recent past might not turn things around.
Before he got sick, he said he was feeling much better about his body.
Gostisbehere Entering Season with ‘Clean Slate,’ Hoping to Help Flyers
“I’ve dealt through injuries a pretty good part of my career and obviously, when you sprinkle some trade rumors on top of that and not playing and you can’t get in the line-up, it’s definitely tough mentally,” Gostisbehere said. “I think for myself, this break, not summer, I just worked on doing what is in my control. I can’t control what is going to happen. I can’t control where I am going to go. The only thing I can control is getting healthy and becoming the best player I can be.
“I switched it up training aspect wise. I did it for more of a body development and doing what I can do. I can’t do things I used to do when I was younger, but I think for myself, I’m in a very good place mentally because I am healthy. That goes a long way with my play. I don’t have to worry about certain movements on the ice where maybe it will hurt or not. I just worry about the game itself. When you’re healthy, it’s a lot easier on the mind when you’re out there.”
