Gostisbehere Vs Rielly

[Sasso09]

Well the numbers don't say he is. I don't care about your misinformed opinion.

The numbers do say he is. Since playing the same top line minutes ghost defensive numbers across the board are better

 

[FlyTimmo]

Gostisbehere has allowed less GA/60 at 5v5 than any other top 4 Dman in the NHL this season.

But yeah, he is garbage defensively right?

 

[Roo Mad Bro]

Gostisbehere. Easily. Rielly doesn’t do anything spectacular. Unlike Ghost who is just a more talented hockey player.

 

[Sasso09]

"Speaking of his defense...

he has allowed less GA/60 at 5v5 than any other top 4 Dman in the NHL this season. (1.41)

And has the best GF% at 5v5 of any top 4 Dman. (66.15%)

Though he has frankly had good luck. (his 2.06 ExGA is ~10th amongst top 4 Dmen, his 53.06 ExGF% is ~30th amongst top 4 Dmen)"

No he isn't. Worse possession stats with easier zone starts against much easier competition. I'd probably pick Ghost if I need a goal and Rielly in every other situation.

No one cares about advanced stats

 

[Ainec]

it's pretty close

I think it's pretty close between all 4 defenders

Rielly Lindholm Gostisbehere Parayko

They should. They tell us a lot that you couldn't know just by watching.

 

[Juicy Pop]

Probably wouldn't have as many points on the Leafs PP though

There is some truth to that. Giroux's efforts on the PP are severely undervalued.

 

[Mats13]

ghost would be leading leafs in scoring

Except he wouldn't.

At the time of your post, Auston Matthews has more points while having missed 11 games.

Yea, not that Ghost isn't great on the PP himself, but Giroux is in the discussion for best in the game and the whole Philly first unit is pretty impressive.

Except they've been tied since 30 seconds into the 2pm Flyers Sens game today... Ghost in only 5 more games. Not bad for a defenseman.

im confused, they both have 50, can't u count, idc how many games ghost missed some thanks to that POS who wouldn't drop his mitts if his life depended it on ur team

Didn't realize the Flyers played earlier. Stats haven't been updated yet.

Either way that post was misleading. Made it sound like he was outscoring our entire team. He is not outscoring Matthews.

 

[MorgantiDrinksBlood]

This should be Ghost in an absolute landslide, I actually think Reilly’s a good dman , but Ghost is better.

Or Marner

 

[Jtown]

Ghost is better and costs less.

 

[ViewsFromThe6ix]

Wait, I thought Reilly faced top competition, too?

Rielly is in the 99th percentile for QoC, Ghost isn't. Why are you posting lies?

I’m not?

Ghost is playing top pairing minutes/ competition. Never said his QOC was higher than Rielly’s.

Right, but you make it seem like they are playing similar level competition. It's not even close.

Players who play in the 97th+ percentile with 30 or more points:

Hedman
Doughty
Rielly

I didn’t make it sound like anything. I was very clearly responding to someone who was trying to claim that Ghost didn’t play against top competition.

 

[Foppberg]

Ghost for sure.

 

[FlyTimmo]

This shouldn't be close. Ghost is the clear cut better defenseman.

 

[Buckets and Gloves]

Ghost is the better overall player and better contract to boot!!

 

[Rich Nixon]

Any 60+ point player signed for 6 years at $4.5mil in this league is an absolute steal. The fact that he's a defenseman makes it absurd. Since we're including that aspect, I have no idea how this poll is even close.
