Some fans want to weakly blame the scapegoats or the defenseman. This teams attention to detail both in coverage and in puck management is the issue. Its as much on the forwards if not more. For example on the Chara goal, there were two forwards covering one point leaving Chara wide open for the shot. Clueless. |

He brought Ghost up because of an injury. He played so well that they kept him up. Even when playing well, Hextall said he hated having him up here. Again, Hextall is in for the long term instead of reactionary, "we suck, call everyone up" quick fixes that a lot of Flyers fans love.
Sadly, we just have to wait out the AMac era. - feelingkettle
I actually agree with you. Hexy has made it pretty clear that he isn't a fan of calling up the rookies just to send them back down. You either make the team or your don't. |

So the flyers have a bad teacher in HAKSTOL? |

Ghost's positioning has been atrocious without the puck. I'm not even talking about his turnovers. His pinches have been at terrible times. - feelingkettle
The entire team has been susceptible to odd man rushes all year. They've allowed a bunch today too. It's a team wide issue.
I'm confident that Ghost will eventually have a stretch where he gets hot and everyone will say something about him getting his confidence or him finding his game when it's really just him experiencing regression to the mean. |

Flyers GM and coaching are A+. Mistakes are and have never been made.
Do not question. Get off the kool aid train. Damn. |

Agreed. The "Ghost is a trash defensive player" narrative is getting old. - Mordecai
On this team, Ghost should be playing every night, regardless of the mistakes. |

Agreed, it's not just him. I am not against him being scratched, because a lot of people including him deserve to be scratched. |

Going to step out for this one boys. Hopefully they come back to win and make it a game.
Good day, and good hockey hooligans.

We're going to scratch you and put another poster in your place for a game, maybe that will help. |

I am against him being scratched because I don't believe his play has been as bad as people think. He's certainly been better than most of the defenseman on this team. |

Weak effort there - Marc D
they have quit on the coach, lappy and the whole staff can leave.
This team can't score 5 on 5 and first in goals against |

I think his play has been the same as the rest of the team defensively, which is really bad. |

The numbers tell a bit of a different story. I don't think MJL is off-base when he says the forwards need to be better defensively as well. |
