Sources close to Mario Lemieux told The Pittsburgh Tribune on Tuesday that the teams majority co-owner was embarrassed by the actions of forwards Arron Asham and James Neal and was disappointed by his clubs lack of discipline in the series against the Philadelphia Flyers, which the Penguins are currently trailing 0-3. The Penguins refuted the report later in the day. Neal had two separate hearings on Tuesday - one for his third period hit on Flyers rookie Sean Couturier and the other for a hit to the head on Flyers forward Claude Giroux. Neal was given a charging penalty for the latter hit, which saw four players - including Neal - receive 10-minute misconduct penalties. Neal, who shares the team lead in playoff scoring with two goals and five points - is a repeat offender. He was suspended two games last season for a hit from behind on Derek Dorsett and was fined $2,500 this season for a high-stick to Montreals P.K. Subban. Asham, who will meet with the league at 5pm et/2pm pt, waived his right to an in-person hearing. He was assessed a first-period match penalty for cross-checking Brayden Schenn around the chin and punching him in the head when Schenn was down. The actions of his players in Game 3 is not the type of play that Lemieux has typically supported. It was a little more than a year ago that Lemieux took issue with the league for what he felt was a lack of disciplinary action after the Islanders defeated the Penguins 9-3 on February 11 in a game that saw the officials hand out 346 penalty minutes. Following that game, the league suspended Islanders forwards Trevor Gillies for nine games and Matt Martin for four while handing the team a $100,000 fine. At the time, Lemieux didnt feel that the league did enough, and released a statement which read: "Hockey is a tough, physical game, and it always should be. But what happened Friday night on Long Island wasnt hockey. It was a travesty. It was painful to watch the game I love turn into a sideshow like that. "The NHL had a chance to send a clear and strong message that those kinds of actions are unacceptable and embarrassing to the sport. It failed. "We, as a league, must do a better job of protecting the integrity of the game and the safety of our players. We must make it clear that those kinds of actions will not be tolerated and will be met with meaningful disciplinary action."
