Ghost Appreciation Thread

Phew... that stick bend in the first GIF. Could launch it for a dude his size.

One of the most exciting Flyers to watch when he was rolling.

Sad the Past and current coaches and Mgmt sewered him.

Writing was on the wall, but the return SUCKED

 

[Fire Tortorella]

This was the first time I ever saw Gostisbehere play (and really the first time I sought out a Flyers' prospect's game). The first of our wave of homegrown defensemen.

This is the asset management that has provided the results we've become accustomed to for a generation.

When I watched him in the Ahl, a year or two before his 60 points breakout season, you could see he was ahead of everyone in term of speed and puck decisions skills. And he became a very solid Nhler after.

He's still better than most third pairing guys.

Unfortunately his lack of physicality and defensive awareness ended his reign in philie . I think.

Best of luck for him with the Coyotes. If they can find a good spot for him He'll become a regular there I'm pretty shure.

Red Wings vs. Flyers - Box Score - October 25, 2014 - ESPN

You are correct. I confused that with his 2015 permanent callup, forgot he had a couple games in the league the season before. I was at the game right after he left the Phantoms for good and proceeded to haul Hakstol to his first playoff failure.

Cant forget when he said this after AV threw Hart under the bus

One play that has always stuck in my mind as one of my favorite plays from Ghost is actually one I can't find on youtube. I am 99% sure it was a go ahead goal (don't remember who scored) with like 2 minutes left against the Maple Leafs where Flyers were in their own zone and Ghost jumped up to cut off a pass in the slot and sprang himself forward on an odd man rush. Can't remember if he or someone else scored.

Unless of course I made this all up because I am a Ghost lover

I'll never forget being in awe watching him totally dominate the National Championship game for Union. He lived up to the hype for a while there too before being castrated by the coaching staff. Godspeed Ghost, you were loved by many and also hated by many.

 

[kudymen]

How about you choose at least one thread not to f***ing ruin it. And how about you choose the appreciation thread. There is a hint in the word, somewhere

That National Game was a thing of beauty to watch. Ghost was dominant.

It's definitely the latter.

 

[Roo Mad Bro]

The one prospect in my time as a Flyers fan that I was most excited about. I remember trying to find streams and radio for his games at Union when I was at college. Watched him at the WJC, Frozen Four where he was dominant in the National Championship game, rookie year where he re-energized this fan base. Good luck Ghost. Tons of great memories.

 

[bauer]

i'm gonna miss ghost wearing orange and black. always loved how he was never afraid to speak his mind.

 

[bobbythebrain]

Absolutely loved Ghost when he was on his game.
Injuries and coaches f**ked him.

Wish him all the best in Arz.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Gostisbehere has been Ghosted to the desert.

Best of luck in Arizona.

 

[Striiker]

I said it a long time ago but he was basically the Giroux of the defense.

Tons of skill, tons of creativity, pulled off moves others couldn't, and was exciting to watch every night.

It’s insane that we found someone this good in the 3rd round, saw what he could do in multiple seasons, and then promptly did everything possible to make sure he couldn’t do it again.

 

[orangecrush8]

Glad he’s out west so I can continue to root for him. This guy was my favourite Flyer behind Giroux. Really going to miss him.

He's in a better place now (which is any place but the Flyers).

That streak where Giroux Ghost and Voracek won every overtime and Ghost was on that incredible point streak is the most exciting this team has been since 2010. That was amazing to watch. I love Ghost and seeing him get pushed out of the organization the last few years hurts. I hope he f***ing lights it up for Arizona and against the Flyers.
