NHL Suspends Philadelphia's Carcillo for Two Games

[Thrillhouse]

TORONTO – Philadelphia Flyers' forward Daniel Carcillo has been suspended for the period covering two regular season games, without pay, for his actions off the ice following the first period of Game #4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Boston Bruins on May 6, the National Hockey League announced today.

National Hockey League Senior Vice President of Hockey Operations Mike Murphy reached the decision following a hearing into the matter on May 13. The hearing was conducted pursuant to article 18.1 (on-ice discipline) and 18.2 (off-ice discipline) of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, NHL By-Law 17 and Article 6 of the NHL Constitution as a result of an incident outside of the officials' locker room following the first period and a verbal confrontation with linesman Brian Murphy at the players' bench prior to the start of the second period.

"Between the first and second period, while off ice and outside the officials' locker room, Mr. Carcillo engaged in aggressive behavior and inappropriate conduct directed at the officials," said Murphy. "While Mr. Carcillo acknowledged in the hearing that he regrets his actions outside of the officials' room, there can be no defense for his conduct.

"I also reviewed the verbal confrontation between Carcillo and linesman Brian Murphy at the players' bench prior to the start of the second period and have determined that, while the verbal abuse may have been worthy of a penalty, there is no evidence that Carcillo's action merit supplemental discipline," concluded Murphy.

Carcillo will miss his club's first two regular season games in 2011-12.

The forfeited money shall go to the Players’ Emergency Assistance Fund.

[RayzorEdge]

So did Carcillo punch one of these officials or did he call their kids *******?

[hockey doc]

Would linesman Brian Murphy be related to NHL assistant moron Mike Murphy? Just asking.

Who cares? He won't be a Flyer next year anyway. He is useless, lost his grit, can't put up any points, and can't win a fight.

Damn I thought he was liked in Philly, I guess not after his poor season...Is he a free agent then?. What team do you think will want him. I could see him playing for Tampa Bay but not likely with Yzerman around.

I am sure that from now on the site will only post suspensions for players that play on the Flyers dope. They only posted this one because they thought you might care.

When he was with Phoenix at first he was loved. He could fight with the best of them in his size and class. Then it went to his head. He could not keep his mouth shut and got a "bullseye" he cost the Coyotes more in penalty minutes than it was worth. Sadly he hasn't learned and it apears never will.

Carcillo still has lots of potential , wish I knew what happened to him this year. I know the coach had alot to do with it but he just didnt seem the same . Call me crazy but I think Chris Neil is a missing piece the Flyer need .. Does anybody know his staus ? RFA . FA ?
