"Flyers rookie defenseman Marc-Andre Bourdon could be getting a call from NHL Czar of Discipline, Brendan Shanahan on Thursday.

Bourdon had a nasty board check on Buffalo's Nathan Gerbe that took him out of the game in the second period with a likely concussion.

Bourdon drew a minor penalty for boarding, then got into a terrific fight with Buffalo's Matt Ellis, who came to Gerbe's defense.

"I didn't want to hit him hard," Bourdon said of Gerbe. "He opened up and I couldn't stop. I wanted to hold him and not push him in. I didn't want to hurt him. I don't know if he's hurt or not."
