Ghost is proud.
He’s proud of the kids who go to his old high school as they challenge adults who love the guns that killed their classmates. He’s proud of his generation as it tries to hold accountable politicians who seem to have forsaken them.
Flyers defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere spent his freshman and sophomore years at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla. On Valentine’s Day, a 19-year-old former student took a semi-automatic rifle to Stoneman Douglas and murdered 17 people, including a football coach Gostisbehere knew.
On Wednesday, eight days after the massacre, Ghost marveled at the courage and the character of the survivors as they cried out for stricter gun control measures.
