The curious case of Shayne Gostisbehere

[RizzeeDizzee]

I think this season Ghost will follow a Torey Krug 2013-14 trajectory - lots of exciting play and risk taking while skating sheltered minutes, plus forgiveness for defensive lapses when they happen provided he can still generate offense.

I wonder if people call him Ghost because they don't know how to spell Gostisbehere??

That's why I do it. I also like to refer to Draisitl as Leon because I can never get that spelling right either...

I like Ghost because it's easier than butchering his last name, although it's not too hard to figure out. But I do know his old teammates at Union College called him Ghost too

[Invictus]

I like his last name its like Gots-si-be-here!

I like Ghost because it is an awesome nickname. It is especially refreshing because I am tired of how almost every player in the NHL just gets a "Y" added for chumminess.


Oh, and I misspell it most of the time.

Don't worry, I'm sure they call him Ghosty.
