Game 4: Boucher turns away 24 of 25, Craig Berube scores the winner at 12:58 of the third period, and the Flyers are just one win from going to the Cup Finals. (Historical note: At this stage, Recchi and LeClair had a combined 3G/3A, proving once again that Barry Melrose is stealing money from ESPN.)

But, at the end of the day, Barry, and the Panger, and Gary Thorne, and Steve Levy, and the thousands of New Jersey fans who left their building long, long before Games 3 and 4 were over, all were vindicated. The Flyers did their version of the Philly Phold and lost the last three games by a combined score of 8-3.

That's what sports is about, though. The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. The Flyers have some questions to answer this summer. But right now, I'm going to crank up Surrealistic Pillow, inhibit the reuptake of some serotonin, norepinphrine, and dopamine, and hope that those two liquored-up cowgirls who were beating on the glass behind the Colorado Avalanche bench Saturday night have something to cheer about real soon.
