The Leafs were outchanced 25-17 in the game but fortunately snagged a point with a regulation tie (not so lucky in OT, of course).  Toronto picked up at least one point in each of their four games against the Long Islanders this year, with a seasonal record of 2-0-2.  The Isles came slightly ahead in the overall scoring chances count, 73-68.

Lots of chances both ways in this one, a very entertaining, heart-wrenching game.  The Leafs were outplayed at even strength and gave up 17 scoring chances to the Flyers, but kept up by gaining a high number of minutes on the PP (and it definitely could've been even more if not for several non-calls by the refs).  Toronto's special teams were clicking tonight.  The PP did give up 4 chances to the Flyers' PK but garnered 7 of their own including several high quality scoring chances (2 by Kessel, 1 by Grabovski).  And the PK limited Philly to just 2 chances in 5:45 which constitutes a successful night.

The Leafs came out with a fairly strong effort in the first period, slow start aside, and were ahead 2-0 on the strength of an 8-5 lead in scoring chances.  However, the team completely ran out of steam after the midway point of the 2nd period, as the Thrashers pressed hard to outchance the Leafs 10-2 at even strength for the rest of the game, with a whopping 17-3 edge in all situations from that point on.  I wouldn't hang this OT loss on Giguere, even though he did allow all 3 of the goals scored by Atlanta.  His defence was of little help to him.  Schenn and Gunnarsson, in particular, struggled mightily.
