Game Summary:

The Flyers saved some face with a strong third period and stole a point they didn't deserve. Toronto outright dominated at even strength, more than doubling the Flyers in scoring chances. From the get go this was a track meet and Toronto had a clear advantage with speed in transition. JvR in particular was all over his old team and simply blowing right by hapless Flyers defenders.

Forwards(Even Strength):

Head to Head Match Ups:

Everyone got murdered defensively. Giroux's line was at least respectable in generating some even strength offense. But the bottom half of the line-up was simply not competitive. Our 4th line swiftly went from hero to zero with the addition of Jay Rosehill #LEADERSHIP. Listening to the CSN broadcast crew praise his scheduled bout with Fraiser McClaren as a "turning point" was comical. The damage to Brayden Schenn's line came almost exclusively from Kadri and company. That's a match-up Berube may want to avoid in the future.

Defense(Even Strength):

Kimmo Timonen had a spectacular game in point production, chances, and shot differential. The rest of the defense was pure dreck. MacD and Schenn went from respectably average to full blown tire fire in the span just a few days. Grossmann was up to his usual tricks. Overall this painfully slow defense performed about as well as you would expect in a track meet game.

Special Teams:

Special teams play was limited with not much PP time for either team.

Overall Team Performance: D

If not for Giroux's line and an amazing individual performance by Kimmo Timonen, this game would have been an outright fail. Toronto is not a great 5v5 team yet they dominated the Flyers at even strength. Its bit disheartening to see our Flyers nearly get slaughtered by the 29th ranked possession team in the league.
