It was Carter's return to the lineup that left Carcillo a healthy scratch for three games, right?

If I were Ian Laperriere, I'd be watching my back. (I think Carcillo may be jealous of all of Laperriere's teeth, too.)

Or that sweet sideways nose Laperriere is sporting.

That was great that his biggest hit was on his own teammate. Also, memo to NBC, Carcillo sucks shut up about him.

Dan Carcillo is an absolute game changer. 

Honestly, how tough can a guy be when Tomas Kopecky will get right in his face? 

INTIMIDATION FAIL

I think I love Kopecky. When Ladd gets healthy, assuming he is for Game 3, Q has a nice dilemma on his hands. Burish might have to sit. How can you sit Kopecky at this point? He's been great. Eager's been great. Burish hasn't done much besides provide excellent commentary for the DVD.

Kopecky is playing with a chip on his shoulder right now and his previous Finals experience has shown through these first two games.

I love that there's no one on this team that I hate right now.

Except maybe that stupid Kim Johnsson.

I thought he played in one of the last two Finals, or was he hurt for both.

He didn't play last year because he got his face busted in a fight during the Anaheim series.  Not sure what happened in 07-08, but he didn't play a game in the playoffs that year.

I bet he got a good feel for the games though, just being there in person.

Don't speak ill of the dead.

Can anyone explain what happens to Eager and Pronger with ten minute misconducts coming after the game ended? They both get 10 minutes added into their PIM but does it have an effect on game three?

Technically they should each have to sit out Game 3.

However, like Malkin's Instigator in last year's Finals, which was also supposed to carry an automatic one-game suspension, it was probably overturned before either guy hit the tunnel.

That's what I assumed. The closest and most recent example was Chara's instigator and game misconduct in the waning seconds of game 5 vs. Buffalo. He wasn't suspended even though the rules specifically state any instigator in the final minutes gets an automatic one game suspension. Wasn't sure what the rules were with 10 minute misconducts but I thought there was something. There has to be a reason for them to be handed out whether it's punishment by suspension or fine.

In this case "automatic" means, most of the time during the regular season, and almost never during the playoffs.  Especially if a big name is involved.

At least in Chara's case, they overruled the instigator suspension because, on reviewing the tape they found that he wasn't actually the instigator.

But, still... That.
