Is NHL Linesman Scott Driscoll Partly Responsible For Carcillo Suspension?

New York Rangers coach Alain Vigneault has suggested that NHL linesman Scott Driscoll is partly to blame for inciting winger Dan Carcillo in a chaotic sequence of events during Thursday’s playoff game, a sequence that led to a 10-game suspension....

Carcillo had been assessed a charging minor.
