Thugnasty Carcillo Gets Four Game Suspension

By now you've all seen and heard the highlights from the Caps' 8-2 pummeling of the Philadelphia Flyers on the night of new coach Peter Laviolette's debut behind the bench. In addition to netting eight goals, including the first one of the season from David Steckel, the big story hitting the internet and airways revolves around Flyer's goon Dan Carcillo's idiotic sucker punch on Matt Bradley. In addition to the 19 penalty minutes (during which the Caps racked up a sweet three goals) and game misconduct Carcillo earned during the game, the League also handed down a four-game suspension for his brazen actions. HM heard today from some fellow hockey parents who travelled to Philly (very brave souls I might add) to see the game at the Wachovia Center. After describing in detail the obnoxious comments and profanities spewing from Flyers fans seated around them, they delivered what I'll deem the quote of the day by saying "The Flyers fans made going to a Caps/Rangers game seem like a night at the opera." Nice.....

Wow. Where were they sitting? Pat and I went with the Caps Road Crew, and the Flyers fans sitting in front of the suite were fine. Now, there were some down in the corner to our left who decided to fight amongst themselves, which was amusing to us, but most of the rowdy people had left long before even the second period was over.
