Guess it's okay to whack goalies on the head without a suspension (see Sean Avery), but don't club a Penguin. Or a seal pup.

Flyers winger Dan Carcillo got a game for a stick infraction in the final seconds of Game 1.

A hearing was held at 3 p.m.

Carcillo whacked the Penguins' Max Talbot in the back of the head after a faceoff that ended the game.

Talbot said at today's practice he had no idea what Carcillo was thinking.

“I don’t know what he tried to do,” Talbot said. “I don’t know. You guys watched the video..."

Carcillo said he caught Talbot with gloved hand and his hand on the stick.
