Ghost Appreciation Thread

[dragonoffrost]

Ghost was a shame, dynamic player before he had a series of injuries, that college championship run was amazing.

But those who think he's close to the player he was even three years ago are delusional, watching guys with good but not great speed blow by him after turnovers made his loss of speed and burst apparent. He could compensate for being undersized with his agility and offensive skills, but even in 2017-18, the Pens exposed his limitations in the playoffs, he couldn't handle an aggressive forecheck. Now he has to be highly sheltered to be effective.

Ghost was healthy last year, looked better than the previous two seasons but nothing like 2017-18, much less Union Ghost.
And after having both knees scoped last year, my suspicion is his knees will have him out of the NHL in a couple years, at his size, he can't afford to lose any more speed/agility.

It was Union not Mount Union.

Thanks for reminding me of that football team from Ohio.

That was a great season. It’s hard to believe no team wanted him for free.

True, these guys were going to national teams, development camps and tourneys even in highschool already being a huge deals. So it's no surprise they all end up with trophy wifes no matter how early their relationships started.

So we knew Ghost had a good slapshot, but never knew he had a howitzer too. No wonder he couldn't be coached.

Thread title probably takes on a new meaning for some.
