Yesterday, teams were sent a message about "sending a message". Confused? Well so are coach John Stevens and Flyers forward Dan Carcillo. At 3pm, the Flyers tough guy acquired in a trade for fan favorite Scottie Upshall will attend a hearing with the NHL and face a possible suspension. This all stems from Carcillo's presence on the ice in the lopsided opening game one loss by the Flyers last night. Although no penalty was called, rumor has it that Carcillo made contact with Pens forward Maxime Talbot in an attempt to leave a calling card for the next match. The league's most penalized team saw their 16 minutes of disadvantage-ness come back to bite them in the form of Crosby's early power play goal. Now they run the risk of losing a regular forward for Game 2 on Friday. Keep an eye on this post for any updates as to the ruling.
