The suspensions given by the NHL today are so screwed up it isn't funny. Carcillo got ten games for "physical abuse" of an official? He was being manhandled by a much bigger linesman... and it happened while there was a fight going on, during which Carcillo should have been able to match up with a counterpart on the Canadiens, as often happens during a fight. That calls for an automatic ten? The rule calls for a three, ten, or twenty game suspension. Not condoning what Carcillo did, but the linesman's timing was critical, as it could have put Carcillo's team at a disadvantage until order was restored. So he is out for the rest of the playoffs....
And Prust's cheap blindside hit, that broke Stepan's jaw, only gets two games???? Stepan's injury will require surgery, likely leaving him out for the rest of the year. Rangers got screwed by the officials AND the league IMO.
No hockey tonight..... not enthused watching the Sox lately.
