The Flyers once lead 5-2 in this game, and ended up losing 7-6. You could say a lot happened in this game, so there’s naturally a lot to talk about here. So what the hell did we learn from that carnival of a hockey game?
1. The Flyers did contain the Leafs speed early on.
The Toronto Maple Leafs only know one speed, and that is balls-to-the-wall blistering fast. The Flyers on the other hand are well... how do I put this... not known for that. Despite these two statements both being factual, the Flyers contained the Leafs’ speed pretty well in the first half of the game.
