I agree. Although Danny shouldn't have trying to break free from the referee, there was no intent there to "punch" or even make contact with him. The referee shouldn't have tried to restrain him until he actually became part of the issue on the ice.
Think of it this way, any player not playing in the actual championship game is still worthy because it's a long season to get to that point and most players, even Danny played a role getting the team to that spot.Yeah, thats for sure but for me personally if I was to get my jersey patched id want him to play a game.
Are we talking about what Justin Williams did about halfway through the first period tonight yet? Worse than Carcillo wrt hands on the ref, imo.
That's even worse. So they left the room and sat around and did **** for 3 days before making a decision. Laughable.

Not sure it's automatic. Isn't the rule, play 41 games during the regular season or play play a game in the finals? Carcillo only played 31 games during the regular season. Rangers would have to petition the league to add his name--not sure how the process works.
off topic, but does that mean we get our 7th round pick back? or was the condition that Carcillo had to clear waivers and go to the pack?
I'd rather have Carcillo available, but he's not a regular and wouldn't be playing unless there is an injury anyway.
There is a difference between deciding something and announcing something. I also suspect that the decision has already been relayed to the Rangers so they can plan their roster accordingly. In any case, the focus should be on the game played tonight, not a marginal player who couldn't control himself on the ice.
who was he replacing in his last game? thx,
A marginal player who is as responsible as anyone for getting us to where we are.
Stepan due to injury, before that Brassard, before that Dorsett, if I recall correctly.
You think Dorsett is a better player than Carcillo?
The idea here should always be to collect guys who play big when it matters most. It's almost like the Boyle idiots who wanted him gone for so long.
Katie Strang reporting we might not get the ruling today
To be fair, she also said we could get the ruling today
Anyone thinking the length this is taking means something is about to change?
