Continue whatever it is you talk about here.
Sometimes it's the roster, most of the time not.

Is that the guy that keeps advertising it in every thread?
Huh?
Grinelli is a producer for the Spittin Chiclets podcast.
Oh lol There's one that keeps popping up everywhere and I was passive-aggressively using your post to complain about it. Because, as you know, I like for all the threads to stick strictly to the appropriate topic.
oh no you dint...
Speaking of the Flyers roster, did you see that new Garth Brooks commercial? That yodeling **** is just shameless, treating all his mongrel fans like an ATM.
“Shameless “ heh. Nice pun by a true Garth fan. Very nice Cap.
I know that everyone talks about Jake. But I really think this is last season for JVR in Philly. Maybe 2 seasons due to expansion where he should be primary target for Seattle.
And I still don't know if Farabee wouldn't be better on LW, his primary position in juniors. But he is still good too on RW, only good for us.
LW: G, Oskar, Farabee/Frost .. RW: TK, Jake, Farabee/Patrick(?).
I think that C is locked for Couts and Hayes. Then battle between Frost and Patrick (if he will be healthy again). 4th line? There we have a lot of players, Raffl and Laughton are lock, they can be best 4th line duo in the league for me.
Umm, summer will be pretty interesting for us again. It's good feeling.
Just looking up Ghost's numbers and noticed that his PDO is 94.2. Only Braun's (89.4) is worse on defense.
The real culprit is his unbelievably low on-ice shooting percentage.
Ghost's OISH% is 5.2% (his individual sh% is 3.1, half his career average of 6%). Above only Twarynski and Hagg (Andreoff, Rubtsov and Morin are lower but sample size is 1-2 games).
So while Ghost's on-ice save % (89%) is 7th on the team (6th if you want to exclude Myers' 6 game sample), it's the crazy low shooting percentage that is skewing the numbers.
I wonder what his ice time looks like distributed across forward lines... Does anyone have that info?
For reference, every other defenseman on the team is essentially double or triple Ghost's shooting %:
Myers, 17.1 (only 6 games, but he is the one actually scoring the goals)
Sanheim, 15.4
Provorov, 12.1
Niskanen, 10.3
Braun, 9.8
hockeyreference tracks thru% for a real quick display of that data. Ghost is 4th on the team (for defensemen). His current thru% is slightly higher than his career avg (funny enough his first season was his worst)I think this “Ghost can’t get pucks on net” thing is just like the whole “Jake won’t shoot” imaginary thing where it’s just confirmation bias and any time he misses you only remember that.
Some definitely posted a graphic recently showing he gets pucks on net at an above average rate. I wish I could find that post.

Ghost's most common teammate is still Robert Hagg, known trashcan
His second most common teammate is Justin Braun, shooting a whole 0% for the season
My favorite stat, and again one where I just cannot seem to find a single reason why Ghost wouldn't be on the "top PP", is this right here
Shayne Gostisbehere - Teammates - On Ice - Natural Stat Trick
Nearly every single guy who has spent a decent amount of time on the powerplay with Ghost has a higher xGF% with him than without him.
