The one who




uh... (c'mon, gotta make a funny...)



I'm sorry, I've got nothing.

The one who farts in people's general direction?

The one who could be a top-4 NHL defenseman and provide quality minutes at even strength and the PK, or the bottom-pair NHL defenseman who takes bad penalties and has no offense?

I see top 4, minutes eater, quality PK guy.

Funny thing is that as good as Gostisbehre is I see him more of the 3rd pairing, top PP specialist guy. Looking at some of the guys coming up I think Gostisbehere falls a little at 5v5 with guys that could be joining the defense

Can you? Cause I've already found two from Morin and I'm not seeing any Schultz beauties yet...

Bomb.

I'm just saying, every pro can shoot. Just more goes into it than having a "hard shot." I see now you were responding to someone who wrote Morin can't shoot. Which is false too. He just needs time and space to get his big shot off. I didn't mean to sound accusatory.

Agreed. Ghost is probably the one who will make the most highlight-reel moves, and I think he's better defensively than advertised, but you don't want him out there against top lines constantly.

Ghost with the assist. Primary, too, which counts twice as much in the stats.

I expect, in a few years, the top shutdown pair will be Provorov/Morin

Well, it's not exactly Streit/Schultz, but it could be okay.

I expect, in a few years, the top shutdown pair will be whatever pair they put out there

my thoughts

Morin has consistently shown his has a big shot that he is able to get off quite quickly over the past three years. Using a weak shot as an argument against him just doesn't make any sense.

Edit - seems we more or less agree.

I know, right! What about entitlement!?!?!

can't believe you've Scoob'd me like this in such a public fashion

I mean, neither of these guys are Ryan Parent or anything, but it could work.

Better Ghost play from last year:

Superman dive to keep puck in vs. CBJ

Diving play on errant pass to get it to Giroux vs. Winnipeg

The Winnipeg one led to a better outcome, but they were both pretty crazy plays.

keeping the puck in was the better play to me. that puck is normally cleared and what he did to keep it in along with quickly getting it to where Simmonds should score quickly was incredible

Not able to watch, but it seems like this NA/Swe game is the 2012 ECQF Flyers vs. Penguins where goaltending was optional.

Neither. Do you have any clips of him fighting? That is how I judge a players worth and ability....

3-man OT trio of Ghost, Akeson, and Gustafsson

Can't beat that.

Unless you put Lauridsen out there, too.

Geez, the guy's passport hasn't even been processed to Russia yet and you've already given away his nickname.

In his defense, he did once win the Flyers a game by leaving them shorthanded for 5 minutes.
