The coach is right. The Flyers played a very good game overall, but still came short. The same thing happened against Pittsburgh on Tuesday night.
According to the "Deserve To Win O'Meter" from moneypuck.com, the Flyers win this game 51.6% of the time.
The third line (Ratcliffe-Bunnaman-MacEwen) was really effective, with an Expected Goals For rate of 83.37%. Same for the Mayhew-Giroux-Atkinson line.
The Flyers will be back in action on Monday night against the Hurricanes at the Wells Fargo Center.
