Whaaaaat?

Dan Carcillo has had a meteoric rise to the Dykstra Zone. Car Bomb has been suspended for two games, without pay, for his actions during an off-ice incident after the first period of Game 4 against Boston. From the press release:

"Between  the  first and second period, while off ice and outside the officials'  locker  room,  Mr.  Carcillo engaged in aggressive behavior and inappropriate  conduct  directed at the officials," said Murphy [NHL Sr. VP of Hockey Operations]. "While Mr. Carcillo acknowledged in the hearing that he regrets his actions outside of the officials' room, there can be no defense for his conduct.

"I  also  reviewed  the  verbal  confrontation  between  Carcillo and linesman  Brian  Murphy  at  the  players'  bench prior to the start of the second  period  and  have  determined that, while the verbal abuse may have been worthy of a penalty, there is no evidence that Carcillo's action merit supplemental discipline," concluded Murphy.

 

What in the world do you say to an official that gets you a two game suspension? If you saw HBO's 24/7, you know that just about anything goes when it comes to interactions between players and officials. F bombs? You bet. Yelling? No problem. Insults? Par for the course.

The best part about this is that Carcillo's hearing was held on Friday, presumably just hours before he Tweeted about heading to New York to party and, well, you know…

… there's a part of me that thinks this has something to do with the Tweet heard round the world.
