Michkov would have 7-8 points already if Ghost were here. Drysdale will unfortunately never be half the player he is.

Georgiev might be the only goalie to challenge Fedotov's disastrous start this year.

I thought he grew to overuse it a bit, but that slapper is gorgeous when it works.

Even with Hak, that little start to the ghost era was a little exciting. Miss that.

 

[Garbage Goal]

Ghost was also fifth in the league in goals against per 60 prior to tonight’s game. Just another reminder of how idiotic the average fan is and how bad Philly sports are.

Yeah, those two empty netters he was on the ice for against Tampa make him a real shit defender.



Edit: Maybe I misunderstood you.

Idiots, right?

I’m confused if you’re confused.

I meant he was fifth best, not worst.

Yeah, my mistake. Read it wrong.

He's also 6th in 5x5 minutes among Carolina D-men.
Walker has an even lower xGA/60, and he's not a defensive maven.
It's just easier to play in a sheltered role in Carolina.

 

[blackjackmulligan]

Ghost and NAK rule.

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

I’d say spending a 2nd to get rid of Ghost was a great move and we definitely wouldn’t need a puck moving defensemen right now.

Would Ghost have been re-signed when his deal was up? What kind of contract would the Flyers have offered? Would Ghost have wanted to stay?

Ghost leaving at the cost of nothing >>>> using a 2nd to get rid of him

That wasn't the point. That poster was talking about having Ghost on the roster today.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

The Flyers would rather have 3 Eric Johnsons and 3 Ristos then having a guy who can help you out on the backend. Having defenders who can score goals is overrated.

You have spent years shitting on Ghost to defend bad management and coaching decisions and he annually proves you wrong.

You could always choose to stop being wrong in service of failures

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

fresh off a shutout loss at home Nic Deslauriers is the answer!

If the dude they want Nic to punch is Tortorella, then yes, by all means. Otherwise, I don't think we'll get much benefit out of it.

I can’t answer for if he would have wanted to stay but Ghost is currently signed for 500k /year more than Ristolainen. So remove Ristolainen and add Ghost and we’re in the same cap situation. The front office loves to sign players to 8 year contracts so I’m sure they would have paid him. It’s all hypothetical because the management team clearly didn’t want him or value him at all

 

[Beef Invictus]

There is no same way around the fact that Ghost has always been better than Risto, and so paying to give up Ghost so you can fit Risto and then pay a fortune for him was an unforced huge error the team hasnt recovered from.


There are annual examples of teams successfully making do without far better dmen, and yet somehow this team has been unable to replace Ghost for years.

never change Philly..

im sure face punching will bring us points in the standings...

They only played Risto 13 minutes with Seeler out. Less than Johnson.

That’s a $5,100,000 dman getting #7 usage

One would have guessed that "buuuut look how they use him" shouldn't matter when talking about a waiver-unclaimed-ergo-nonNHL-proven player, eh?

I was told the Whisperer fixed him???

I see Broberg has 6 pts in 6 games.
