Replay of the Day: Karma is curious banshee.

She giveth and she taketh away.

And so it was that during Wednesday night’s clash between the Anaheim Ducks and Carolina Hurricanes, reigning Hart Trophy champ Corey Perry scored the game-winning goal, in overtime no less, mere moments after he tripped Carolina’s Jussi Jokinen.

“We've had bad calls against us all year, and maybe this was a turning point for us. We'll see," Perry told the media post-game. "They didn't blow the whistle, so you keep playing.”

Carolina coach Kirk Muller, who began protesting from the bench as soon as he saw the trip, was livid.

"I was told that he hit the net,” Muller told AP. “I watched the replay, so you guys can watch the replay and decide what you see.”

Was this a case of Perry cashing in some good karma from those bad calls he’s suffered all year, or did the Ducks just build some bad?
