whoever thinks that was a clean hit is a douchebag just like carcillo himself!

After reviewing the hit pitkanen put him self at risk - stopped skating.

Hits like this are garbage and have NEVER and will NEVER be a part of this league.

You're taught at a very young age how dangerous sending someone head first into the boards can be and it usually ends up with you be suspended. people, like Carcillo, dont give a shit. Shit like this makes me cringe, if he went into the boards just a little more head on would've been bad..

[iCapitah]

yes but he followed through with his push. when joni was already off balance.

@nickatnoon611 too bad your hawks just lost

[mitchoner]

i'm a die hard flyers fan. probably shouldn't be giving you hawks any tips, but i watched carcillo for a few years , so i've seen it. he will never be a big point getter, has a ton of penalty minutes and fights. your coach doesn't have a chain on him tho. if you noticed in philly, coach lavi was able to keep him under control after one early incident under lavy's wing. carcillo is a little tough guy not afraid of anyone. he has a presence on the ice. i love his game when its legal.

dirty hit and i understand the suspension but i disagree w/ it or just a fine or max 1 game for me but i understand the ruling and carcillo's rep didnt help

but pikanen went down real easy i am pretty sure that was not carcillos intentions at all

he was prob trying to run him into the boards upright and fight for the puck or just try to get seperation and not board the guy

carcillo really isnt that dirty anymore, he really did mature a bit in philly and rarely does anything dirty anymore

[Scott Kline]

I play hockey that was not a push he was just getting seperation and if youre telling me a professional hockey player goes down that easy maybe I should be playing in the nhl

@13Xanadu Funny...I played hockey most of my life, and I never went down that easy, so yes...I know plenty about hockey. Just about anyone I've ever played with wouldn't have went down. I also know plenty about physics. Maybe you're easy to knock over. And that was not a "good push". My wife pushes harder. And Carcillo is maybe 6 feet tall and a pound or two over 200 lbs. Hardly "well over 200 lbs". Do your research before you claim to have more knowledge than someone else about a subject.

keep "pimpin'", bro!

[rwargo24]

@13Xanadu First off, if there's someone between me and the puck, I'm going through them to get the puck. That's concern for the puck. If you're scared, then get out of my way or play a no-contact sport. Second, again, Carcillo barely pushed him. A professional that isn't diving should be able to stay up better than that. Even the refs didn't think there was a penalty on the play. There was no intent to injure. And just because you can't follow logic doesn't mean something isn't logical.
