Probably. Can only pray it's not a 3 pt game. Both have the same amount of points, but Pitt has played more games, so it's prob better if they win.

A lot is made of the fact that Ghost is high among the points leaders among defensemen, but all of those points are on the power play, and PP1 seemed to run okay yesterday without him. Some more illuminating stats: Provorov is 3rd among defensemen in even strength goals, and 12th in even strength points. So WHO is the best offensive defender on the team? Turns out, its the guy who also knows how to play defense.

This is basically let me spin the parameters around until I get the narrative that I want to state.

Yep. Let's ignore every positive aspect of his game that is unique to this team and say he's a net negative by comparing him to a guy who's a top 20 NHL defenseman.

Of the top 10 defensemen in points, Ghost is the only one who has more power play points than even strength. So, NOT usual.

I don't think that the Flyers can score enough goals to carry a defender who is a defensive liability. Or a center who can't win faceoffs. Its just Hockey 101.

- hockeyal



Do you know why that is? It's because Gostisbehere is the best PP defenseman in the NHL. He's not a defensive liability this season. The Flyers are also one of the top faceoff teams in the league. You know what else is hockey 101? Realizing that Gostisbehere is just a flat out play maker that can turn around a game with a single shift.

If the Flyers beat the Rags on Tuesday will they be in a playoff spot or will Rags edge them out in the Row tiebreaker ??

The Flyers will be up 1 point, be up 2 in row and have a game in hand.

I'm guessing liquor stores in New Orleans did a brisk business right after that game.

Exactly, the guy is fun to watch and very creative, let him play his game. We know he is not going to knock someone through the boards but he always has an active stick and his intelligence is very good. Who cares if most of his points are on the powerplay. As long as he is getting points it means they have scored a goal.
- Daceroni



so the PP is hot and you know it has ghost, G and Jake, you tell your team, dont take penalties, changes the game. By the way the short handed goals, some have come with jake fumbling the puck, been a while though.

The idea of Ghiost needing to be carried is laughable.
