The Ducks can find solace in the fact they didn't lose the game in regulation, since they handed the Flyers plenty of opportunities in the third period with a rash of penalties. That included a four-minute high sticking call on Corey Perry, which in actuality was an elbow to the head of Claude Giroux. And that hit is coming with more repercussions. The NHL will be announcing later today that Perry is being suspended four games for it. (We'll have more on that later today.)
I will be there tonight. BTW, all upper-level tickets for Kings games are $11.50. That is not a typo. I will pay more to park than I will to see the damn game. I've paid more to see the Phantoms.

Sweet. I think that's exactly how much my first ever Flyer ticket was.

HAHAHA $11.50 to see an NHL game that's ****ing sweet. Have fun, even though you might be seeing the Phantoms vs. the Kings
Hmm! Figured he'd get away with it, since Giroux is in orange. Good to hear! I think Perry's reputation got him a couple more games than necessary. But I feel pretty good about it.
Of those who played last night, Giroux and Lupul could be replaced by Kukkonen and Powe. That is the worst scenario. It sounded like Powe is available.
An elbow to the face of Flyers’ rookie Claude Giroux will cost Anaheim’s Corey Perry a four-game suspension.
Perry received a double-minor for high-sticking in the third period of Friday’s 5-4 Flyers shootout win over the Ducks when he jabbed the butt end of his stick into Giroux’s face, just under his eye shield.
The penalty should have warranted a game-misconduct given that had Perry’s stick been a little higher, it could taken out Giroux’s left eye. Giroux was sporting a bruise and cut under the eye during the game as a result of the infraction.
