At the Wells Fargo Center on Thursday night, the Flyers proved their point.
Again outshooting and outskating their opponent, tonight the result proved positive, as the Flyers came away with a 4-3 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Rather than starting the game deflated after a frustrating loss, the Flyers were an energized squad in the first period, outshooting the Maple Leafs 16-5.
“I thought we had a real strong first period,” Laviolette said following the game.

Pro football is over and baseball has not started yet.
Also, the Flyers play better with Bob Bobrovsky in goal.
Scott Hartnell scored two first-period goals and the teams dragged a 2-2 tie going into the second period.

It hasn't been easy writing about Chris Pronger when A) we never see him; B) we never hear from him.
Today, Pronger dropped by Skate Zone unexpectedly to see teammates for the first time since the club's Christmas Party.
