"The Philadelphia Flyers took it to the Toronto Maple Leafs last night and continued their roll from Novemeber. Over the last couple of games we've seen defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere integrated back into the lineup after being a healthy scratch for a couple of games. It was clear Ghost was in head coach Alain Vigneault's doghouse, and it's starting to look like he's fought himself out of it. "It definitely gives you a kick in the rear end that if you don't get going [there will be consequences]," said Gostisbehere. "I know the player I can be. I know that I can help this team win."
After feeling down himself, his confidence is building back up. "I think it comes down to confidence. I had that tonight," Gostisbehere said. "Just being sure of myself and making the plays; not telegraphing too much. Just keep moving my feet. A big weapon I have is my skating."
The Flyers defenseman admits that all that time in the press box can be really dangerous if you don't stay strong. "You have a lot of time. That's a big thing," Gostisbehere said. "My girlfriend works, so I was alone and you have a lot of time to reflect on yourself and realize what you need to do to help this team and be a better teammate at the same time.
""No one's going to care about you if you're down or feeling [sorry] for yourself. The best thing to do is put some hard work in and good things will come."With a two point night on Tuesday, it's likely that Gostisbehere will stick in the lineup for now.
