How come Carter doesn't clank shots of Hawks goaltenders masks anymore?

Possibly Watson

nutter could surprise us all too.

You know who else it could be? Winning.

He won't post it. He'll piggyback it though. Seeing that gif would be like a wet dream for him.

Fyi the 3rd Kings goal was weak.

Crawford is mediocre.

You know the refrain.

Yup. Plind would post it, Winning would post it each day thereafter.

Game over baby

If they credit the deflection to Carter, he has a hat trick.

Gostisbehere has a great chance to make the team and I think he'll contribute right away. He's one of the best D prospects out there.

In the last 20 years, I'm trying to remember a Flyers d-man prospect with the potential skating and shooting ability of Ghost. He has such a unique blend of the two. Pitkanen and Gus didn't have the shooting ability. Niinnama wasn't the skater. Tertyshny was pretty close to Ghost, not quite the skater.

Yup

unless he blows us away in camp, Ghost should start in the AHL.
- Giroux_Is_God

He's responsible enough defensively right now to not be a liability in that area and I think that would be the only reason he wouldn't make the Flyers out of training camp this summer.

What a gyp. Im sure its Hi-larious, but I got the owner has not made this available on mobile disclaimer

im so sorry

Here's the thing though. He's never played against professionals.

Would it be worse for you to see Carcillo raise the cup or Versteeg? I know your disdain for Versteeg.

He's also really small. He's got a shot, for sure, but he's going to need to bulk up.

Carter had 3 goals and 1 assist in the final period.

Yup.

His wheels and offensive instincts are nothing to scoff at. If he adds 10 pounds and learns the ropes defensively playing against men...let's just say he'd be a steal out of the 3rd round.

Hopefully he pans out.

I agree. The kid can fly, he has a great shot which he gets off very quickly and it's accurate too. He also has an extremely active stick and is a takeaway machine. To me, he's almost a lock to make the Flyers next season. I already have visions of him playing alongside Luke Schenn.

Chicago would be the least painful for me

but yest I loathe Versteeg

One thing he'll need to learn is how to avoid taking big hits. Thats something Gus never adjusted to as a smaller dman. He seemed to get injured quite a bit.

Even if Ghost looks good in camp, I would rather send him to the AHL and allow him to adjust to that speed before throwing him into the fire.

I do believe you'll be disappointed.

Remember. He's a takeaway machine against college kids. He's not a liability on D against college kids.

The NHL is not made up of college kids.

Here's the thing though. He's never played against professionals.
- Giroux_Is_God

He has the speed and quick decision making of an NHL player. He's NHL ready in my opinion.

drove by the old site of the Philadelphia Athletics Historical Society in Hatboro today

so sad to see it closed forever.

Damn. I live in hatboro and didn't even know about it!

- PhillySportsGuy

Me too. He should play top pair minutes in the AHL until 2015. Once a dman gets injured after Christmas, he should be an option for a promotion. I'd give him 30+ AHL games though.

I dont know how you can say that without having seen him play one game against NHL players.

Yeah. I would like to see him start in the AHL no matter what.

I don't want to hear the dreaded "He didn't look out of place, so we kept him up with the big club"
