PHILADELPHIA -- Against Toronto on Sunday and Tuesday, the Philadelphia Flyers played well enough to win, even in defeat.
That wasn't even close to the case on Thursday versus the Western Conference powerhouse Dallas Stars.
Dallas took the lead just 105 seconds into the goal on a Mavrik Bourque goal, and never looked back, cruising to a 4-1 victory.
