Flyers 4, Hurricanes 3...

There is nothing worse than the feeling of a player your team recently traded coming back to haunt them. Especially in overtime of an important game.

Sorry, Canes fans...

Sami Kapanen scored in overtime for the second straight game after NHL goal leader Simon Gagne tied it midway through the third period, and the Flyers beat the Carolina Hurricanes 4-3 on Thursday night.

Once the hideously sluggish 1st period of last night's game ended, this was a terrific game. Both teams really got after it, especially in the final 10 minutes of play.

Great effort by all, but in the end, the better team won...

P.S. The Canes' made a classy move by making Bobby Clarke the subject of Chuck Kaiton's "Legends of the Game" montage. Very classy...
