Following the Flyers' fourth goal in Saturday's game 2, Montreal's Tom Kostopoulos landed a sucker punch on Flyers defenseman Kimmo Timonen. It has been classified by many as cheap, gutless, and cowardly. Of course, Guy Carbonneau isn't calling the hit that. He went as far as to say that Timonen deserved the hit because in his opinion the Flyers were taunting the Canadiens after the goal.
