I am not sure I am equipped to parse the idea of a Flyers team with stellar goaltending game after game.

WHAT?! The Flyers win a game that they were clearly outplayed! This is progress right? We are talking about progress?

As you pointed out, the metrics tell a different story than what played out and that was primarily due to Vladar who essentially threw down a shutout. York was stellar throughout and his feed to Michkov was much needed.
