Game Summary:

Not only did the Flyers stay competitive with one of the best teams in the league, they actually outplayed them tonight. The Flyers really blew this one out in the 3rd and out chanced the Hawks 10 to 3. Multiple posts and an atrocious no goal call by the referee's helped send this game to OT.

Forwards(Even Strength):

Head to Head Match Ups:

You might notice some inconsistencies from line to line. Berube threw the lines into a blender multiple times throughout the game and you got some really odd combinations as a result. But overall this was a solid, balanced effort from the top 3 lines. Sean Couturier has come alive offensively since the break. Its really encouraging to see him back driving play at 5v5 like he was earlier in the season. I think Giroux and Couturier we're the best forwards on the ice.

Defense(Even Strength):

Coburn and Kimmo had a fantastic game. You might not have noticed either making high profile plays, but they did all the little things right tonight. Streit and Grossmann we're okay, which is surprising given the Hawks speed. MacD and Luke Schenn are back in the red after a relatively good weekend against the Pens.

Special Teams:

Special team's play is still the engine driving the Flyers overall game. The 1st unit powerplay was a chance generating machine. Just so you can get an idea, Giroux went +9/-1 on the powerplay.

Overall Team Grade: A!

The Flyers jumped all over one of the best teams in the league and even managed to win in dramatic overtime fashion. Excellent game all around. FEAR THE BEARD!!!!!!
