Dan Carcillo Suspended Two Games For Being A Repeat Offender Who Wears Orange

I can rant about this all day long and you will roll your eyes and think of me as nothing but a stereotypical tin-foil hatty whiny Flyers fan. Instead, I will just show you the video and the rule that says Dan Carcillo should not have been suspended for what happened in this video.



Rule 60.4 Match Penalty: "When, in the opinion of the Referee, a player attempts to or deliberately injures an opponent while carrying or holding any part of his stick above the shoulders of the opponent, the Referee shall assess a match penalty to the offending player."

Dan Carcillo apologized intensely to Clarkson immediately after the high stick. Not 5 minutes after, but immediately after as the two were still dancing on the ice. It was an accident. As the rule states above, you can only get a match penalty if there is a deliberate attempt to injure someone. As you can clearly see with the video and as evidenced by the immediate apology, Carbomb had absolutely 0 intent to injure in that sequence. Now the refs did not know that during the game so I can't fault them that much for sending him off during the game, but really, when you are ruling it a suspension for a deliberate attempt to injure, should not you take into consideration the fact that there was an immediate apology??? This is not a suspension for a high stick in the face. This is a suspension for being a repeat offender in orange. Sigh. Colin Campbell's incompetency strikes again.

Porn Stars Like Dan Carcillo

We all remember Katie Michaels, don't we? She was the porn star who just a few days ago put up an ad on Craigslist a few days ago. For $500, you could sit with her in lower level seats to see the Rangers take on the Coyotes at Jobbing.com Arena.

Why a Coyotes game, you ask? Well she's a big Coyotes fan! However her heart is slightly elsewhere now as one of her favorite players is no longer a Coyote? Yes, I mean to say that someone actually was a huge fan of someone who was once with the Coyotes. Yes, that someone is now a Flyer. Yes, it's none other than Dan Carcillo!

In an interview with The Big Lead (damn I'm jealous!), Katie disclosed this little nugget of information.

The Coyotes are my hometown team so its all I know as far as hockey. And now I like the Flyers because Danny Carcillo went there.

It must be the 'stache. And frankly, Carbomb's 'stache is one of the finest in the business.

But why shouldn't be surprised that Katie is a Carbomb fan? Well overlooked by the fact that a porn star was taking a random stranger to a hockey game for $500 was this little sentence in her Craigslist ad, "Yes it stinks that Carcillo got traded but look at how good we are doing without Gretzky behind the bench!"

She's all yours Carbomb! Go get her, tiger!
