Flyers vs. Maple Leafs - Jan. 7th, 7:30pm - SN, TSN 1050

What is their improved defense other than Tavev? Do we feel he makes "that much" of a difference. I would argue that the simple game is what's leading to better defense.

One part of the answer is the extra weight on this team. I think Leafs shot up to third heaviest in the league this season.

And it seems the blue line is less porous. When Holl or Liljegren would play, it presented a vector of attack for opposition. Today, those vulnerabilities have been plugged. Our top D back in the Dubas days (44) today represents that vulnerability with a dash 10 on plus minus......... and I wouldn't say he is that bad.
 
I don't like when other team's fans glote in enemy territory but I sure as hell wouldn't assault someone over it. Go to jail, possibly lose your job, embarrass your family, so many reasons this is beyond stupid.
