Who played on the top pairing while AMac was out? That was quite a few games.

As long as Ghost is playing with Provorov, the Flyers will be a losing team. They currently have zero functional, balanced D pairings.

Yet they lead the best team in the league on their ice...

I stand corrected on the first point. I personally agree that Provorov and Gostisbehere should not be paired together but that's not because of the off base opinion you have of Gostisbehere. You claim that the best PP defenseman in the league should not be on the first PP unit.

Wide open net and Budaj almost got it. He basically shot it at his glove, and got lucky. But amazin pass from Simmons to give him a wide open net.

Great..
Ghost had another goal tonight and you can roll all the Fenwick + CORSi \ 60 stats you want out there..facts are here is top 2 in points in the league for dmen.

And then gets caught up ice and tries to defend with his butt, leading to the 2nd Tampa goal. Nice. Sure Provy turnover started it, but AMac would have made a better play. Ghost is a liability 5v5.

You could have made the argument that the Flyers 1st PP unit would not be as good this year because Brayden Schenn had a lot of goals and they would not be able to part with him. But they seem to be doing just fine. Ghost is the beneficiary of playing with four VERY good 5v4 players. You can't say he is the best PP D based just on assists. How many points would he have on the 2nd unit? Not many. But he should if he is the reason for the success.

Great pass from Provorov to G started it. Best playmaker on the team.

Your analysis of his play on this team is seriously flawed. Ghost is the best person to have as the one D on PP1. Remember the reason they made the playoffs his rookie year? Oh yeah it was his replacing Streit and becoming a force on the PP and OT. Yes he's a liability at 5v5 but that's when you pair him with Provorov the best defensive guy. Even pairing him with Hagg who is solid isn't a bad pair.
