Two nights ago Orr (In my opinion the biggest joke of a tough guy in the NHL) took multiple runs at Carcillo. Carcillo kept his cool which he has been doing recently and forced Orr into the box for four minutes. So basically this writer should state fact and not his personal opinions of the future, because he was completely wrong.

I think this is rediculous. frankly i think Dan Carcillo is everything that’s RIGHT about hockey. sure he fights, sure he lays on big hits (sometimes uncalled for), that’s why it’s hockey and not field hockey. go watch the WNBA if you’re looking for a squeeky clean sport. he’s a skilled player, and this season you’re idiot if you don’t see that. he always has been. he hustles more than anyone in the orange and black. unlike the “gliders” like carter, gagne, and briere who basically glide around once the puck is inconvenient to get to. that guy doesn’t stop til the whistle blows. the play is never dead for him.
so go ahead and continue to focus on the “goon” in him. frankly that’s what he’s there for. But he’s much more than that. and talking about the fight with Talbot in the playoffs… you just like the media are a complete tool. flyers had a 3-0 lead, i was there. right behind fluery and i’ve never seen the wachovia center get so crazy. he didn’t lose the game, the pens just out played them. to blame a 3-0 come back on a fight?!?!? you’re a retard.
this year under laviolette i feel the “dumb” penalties the flyers are taking have drastically been reduced. Carcillo is by far my favorite NHL player. all you haters can suck it! i’ll rock my signed jersey til the day i die!

Also, talbot asked Danny to go, he said no but talbot followed him and wouldn’t let it go, so Danny had to fight him. Just shouldn’t of pounded him so hard. Stevens was stupid for putting him out right after the goal.

P.S. I love the Richards Carter carcillo line when they play together.

Furthermore, Danny said that Bradley asked him to go earlier in the game so when Danny cross checked him, he should have been ready to go. Remember last year when Crosby jumped Brett McLean? Think he woulda got 9 minutes and four games had he got a lucky punch in? Ya, and the pope is an atheist

Daniel carcillo is a classy player. Look at his fight against mark Fraser of the devils. He gets him down to a knee but doesn’t finish him. Then look at carcillos second fight against rivet. Danny is pinned under a linesman as rivet is left free and suckers him. Also, last year, the red wings broadcast did a segmant on how zetterberg and datsuck (bad spelling) were throwing their weight around. But all the hits were from behind. (don cherry pointed this out). On the flyers western road trip earleir in the season another teams broadcast (can’t remember who LA or SJ) about all the oppertunities carcillo had to hit players from behind, but nudged them or jumped out of the way instead. The problem with the game is guys like ovi run around slew footing and kneeing but never have to answer by dropping the mitts, just by cutting a check.

[...] hockey growing up, and that’s a good thing. Joe Yerdon of Gross Misconduct Hockey wrote an article on the dying goon breed after Dan Carcillo’s cheap shot during a “fight” with Matt Bradley of the Capitals. The [...]

Carcillo has played with more passion and heart than the rest of the Flyers combined. It may lead to some dumb penalties once in a while, but he has been good for this team up until this suspension.

We got enough guys that will throw down the mitts if need be. Hopefully we do away with Carcillo. Don’t need his poor judgment and constant dumb penalties hampering the games anymore.

The incident was largely Bradley’s fault. Who goes into a fight with his hands by his side, leaning into the opponent? Bradley should have backed away and set up, but instead he floated towards Carcillo with his hands by his side. Bradley deserved to get punched.

Carcillo could have waited, sure. It was a cheapshot. But Bradley is an idiot.
