Ed. note: Promoted from the FanShots. There's already discussion of this one going on in the comments on this post.

The NHL will hold a hearing with Philadelphia Flyers forward Daniel Carcillo at 3 p.m. ET Thursday to discuss an incident that took place during the Flyers' Game 1 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins, 4-1, Wednesday night.

The NHL spoke with all coaches and general managers prior to the start of the playoffs informing them there would be no "message sending" during the latter stages of games. Carcillo got involved with the Penguins' Max Talbot near the end of the game.

The Flyers acquired Carcillo, 24, at the trade deadline in exchange for Scottie Upshall and a 2011 second round draft pick. He scored 3 goals and 11 assists in 74 games this season, picking up 254 penalty minutes.

I didn't get to catch much of the third period I had to go do some stuff but from what I hear it got a little out of hand in the last couple minutes.

I dont want to see one of our guys get suspended, but would we really miss Carcillo? he has yet to do anything for this team to prove his worth.

I don’t think so, I miss Upshall the only bright spot in that trade is that we get to keep Giroux up. Couldn’t there have been somebody else cheap that Homer could of found?
