After a slow start he was starting to rack up the points lately.

Super excited to have him up. He's worth watching games just to see him do his thing.

I just hope they allow him to play his game and don't put him on a leash like in his games last year.
 
About time. Wish he earned it without an injury though as the last time this happened they just treated him as a body out there & didn't really let him be himself.

We shall see tonight though.
 
He was our best D man in his 3rd NHL game.

Great play to tie the game up, also had a nice point shot earlier that caused trouble in-front.

He looks like he is on fast forward when he has ice to make up... just unreal wheels, we all ofc knew how fast he was but impressive seeing him show it at the highest level... there was one play in particular he was coming back off a pinch and not only caught a guy from a few yards behind on the angle, but got ahead and pivoted so facing him.
 
philly fans are estatic after his game tonight... they are saying he was best dman on the team tonight. Im not too surprised... hes unreal

Game tying goal. Got better with every shift. the offense was pretty much expected, but his d zone work was also above expectations.

To be fair though, it isn't that hard to be considered the best dman with our lineup....but yeah....he is looking good for sure....looks like he comes as advertised!

Flyers have been so boring to watch this year, but Ghost is just pure entertainment. So fun to watch.
 
He did make some defensive gaffes and I am worried people will start taking advantage over his lack of size/strength. But he looks to be actively and aggressively (more than other dmen) challenging at the blueline before board battles become into play in order to compensate.

He was also a little nervous as you should be. But man, once he started getting more comfortable and gained confidence, everytime he touched the puck, offense followed. Whether it be a quick breakout pass, a simple clear off the glass to start the rush, or something more flashy like being an extra forward (who can recover quickly to play D) or unleashing a versatile selection of shots.

Wonder if he will also bring consistency to his game and can only find that out with more games.

What's going to help him out on defense is his ability to read the play - he's ahead of almost everyone else out there. That translated into some really nice defensive plays in his own end last night.

Very true but his ability to read the play was a bit overshadowed by some rookie nerves; some uncertainty whether to commit or not. Very interested (and optimistic) to see him grow more comfortable with the NHL pace and let his strengths take over.
 
With Ghost, we will have to expect some plays that turn out bad for us. But the amount he can create offensively can easily offset it.

I am glad they let him off his leash that we was on last year when he came up. You don't take a racehorse and make him a plow horse. Let him run!

I am excited to see him on the PP once he gets some practice time in. His willingness to shoot is needed.
 
When he eventually has a bad game and gets benched for Manning be sure to visit the Flyers forum to see the fireworks.
 
Love his game. The league needs more players like him. High risk/reward dmen are thriving now so I think he's going to get a chance to really show his stuff.
