Sounds like Hagg is the prospect with the best chance to make the team next year:

Flyers have high hopes for Swede Hagg - Philly.com

Union losing 1-0 to BC after the first.

Imagine Union losing and Ghost turning pro immediately.

 

[flyersfan4706]

3-2 Union in the 3rd. Ghost with two assists

 

[flyersfan4706]

4-2 Union

God Damn I forgot this was today! Stupid work was too busy! Watching the past 7 minutes or so.

Ghost <3

 

[flyersfan4706]

5-3 Union. Ciampini hattrick. Unions going to the Natty

 

[flyersfan4706]

Lol 5-4 with 3 seconds left

 

[awaz]

Union wins!

 

[flyersfan4706]

The day will eventually coming where G and Ghost will be playing catch on the powerplay, ready to unleash one of their slappers. It will be beautiful

I can't say I really watch much college hockey, so as I'm watching the Union-BC game I chalked the overall sloppy play up to the lower level of hockey....then I watched the Minn-ND game. Wow. That was quality hockey. If Minnesota doesn't destroy Union I'll be very surprised.

As to Ghost, I wasn't super impressed overall. Yes, he's fast and has great puck-moving skills, but I thought his decision making was weak. The one guy who really stood out in that game for me was the other Union D-man...Brodie, I think his name was? He really played a strong, smart game.

Mathew Bodie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

to be fair, he did have 2 assists.

i only watched the last few minutes.. he did really stand out to me, but he did shut gadreau down 1 on 1 which was fun. and i don't know how much you value bucci and engblom's opinions, but they both said he was the best player on the ice yesterday. (i think engblom was doing color anyway.. just going off voice)

Well, my credentials certainly don't allow me to argue.

I'm just going off of what I could see from the T.V. angles, which are obviously limited, while trying to follow him as best I could. I'm glad to hear he apparently played better than I thought! He was guilty of trying to do too much at times offensively (in fairness so was Gaudreau), but some of that could just be that he's so much more skilled than probably all of his teammates. Defensively I saw him out of position at least a few times, but he was usually able to use his speed to make up for it.

Regardless, he clearly has a lot of talent and probably just needs to continue developing the mental aspects of the game, which 99.99% of the prospects still need to do at that age.

oh ya, dont get me wrong, i respect your opinion and i try not to just rely on stats to tell the story. i wish i could've seen the whole game.

and i certainly don't like to take announcers opinion's as gospel either. it's just as likely that ghost was the best player on the ice as it is that ESPN wanted to cater to the philly fans to boost ratings for tomorrow.

In all fairness, it was such sloppy, mistake-filled hockey across the board that it probably wasn't the best game to judge ANYONE on the ice.

Actually, it looks like the Flyers start at 3pm and the FF final is at 7:30pm.

well then i guess i won't need both tvs.. but maybe i'll put the masters on the other one, just for fun

 

[flyersfan4706]

I can't really put into words how much I'd love to see Ghost turn pro and go full on Torey Krug these playoffs

 

[flyersfan4706]

G, V, Couturier, Mason, and Gill. All superb.
