As we mentioned on Wednesday night, the Philadelphia Flyers turned the final 19 seconds of their 4-1 loss in Pittsburgh into a parade of penalties. One play that was overlooked by the on-ice officiating crew was Daniel Carcillo giving Penguins forward Max Talbot a little shot to the head with what appeared to be his stick or elbow (there's no video floating around the web as of now). While the officials during the game may have missed it, the suits in the NHL offices certainly did not. As a result, Carcillo is being summoned to the principal's office at 3 PM ET, Thursday, to discuss the play in question.
From NHL.com:
The NHL spoke with all coaches and general managers prior to the start of the playoffs informing them there would be no "message sending" during the latter stages of games. Carcillo got involved with the Penguins' Max Talbot near the end of the game.Carcillo finished the regular season with a league-high 254 penalty minutes, after leading the league a year ago with 324 (nearly 100 more than Columbus' Jared Boll) despite playing in just 57 games. He was acquired by the Flyers at the trade deadline for Scottie Upshall and a draft pick.
Originally a third-round draft pick of the Penguins, Carcillo has also spent time with the Phoenix Coyotes, scoring 20 goals in 149 regular season games.

Why not just put dresses on the players? Better yet bring Peggy Fleming, Dorthey Hamel and all the other females skaters of old to skate in the playoffs. But what would you expect from Bettermen coming from the NBA being David "I am God" Stern's protege'. He ruined the NBA and now he's ruining the NHL.

@ jhavlic
you must be a cryers fan. otherwise you would know you can play good physical hockey without taking cheap shots to the back of someones head. I think he should have goten more than a one game suspension. the cryers are the dirtiest team in the league. they can't beat a team by out playing them, so they try and hurt them other ways. what a bunch of goons! the three of them sitting in the pentalty box at the end of the game was kinda funny. especially when my son said "OH look, it's a flyers orgy"...LOL

It's funny how much of punks you's are that complain the flyers are so dirty. If you can't handle getting beat on by the BROAD STREET BULLIES then find another sport.If we don't beat you we beat you down.

hey bum eater, haha, guess you enjoyed the cryer's orgy last night in the pentalty box judging by your screen name, anyhow think maybe YOU should find a new sport, Isn't it called boxing when you win if you knock someone out? Hockey is about scoring goals, but the "BROAD STREET BULLIES" are too stupid to know that. I don't really think your dirty ass team "beat" anyone down on the Penguin team, your players were just beating off in the pentalty box!
P.S. - isn't it time for you to go steal someone's lunch???
