Get On Your Feet For Simon Gagne

The Flyers may have fallen to the Tampa Bay Lightning last night, but early on there was one thing worth celebrating - longtime Flyer Simon Gagne was met with a well-deserved standing ovation from fans.  In a super classy move, the Flyers went the extra mile and put together the tribute video you see above.  The video ran early in the first period to roaring applause.  Gagne acknowledged the crowd with smiles and a wave.

If there's one thing Philadelphia proves over and over again, it's the city's never-ending admiration for their favorite players.  Like Donovan McNabb, Brian Dawkins, Pat Burrell, and Allen Iverson before him, Gagne got a taste of it firsthand.
