Carkner Accused of Flicking Blood

Some might be surprised at how well Matt Carkner handled himself against Derek Boogaard during Thursday's game between the Sens and Rangers. Others might focus on what Carkner did after the bout.

The details are sketchy, but the video (which can be seen after the jump) doesn't lie. On his way to the penalty box, Carkner wiped blood from his face and flicked it towards the Rangers' bench as he skated by. He was given a ten-minute misconduct and the league will likely have a look at the incident.

The source of the blood is uncertain. Carkner suffered a cut above his left eye and Boogaard may have suffered a broken nose, just days after returning from a shoulder injury.
