Thanks for the video Klem.
Anyone defending Carcillo has rose colored glasses on. That was pathetic on his behalf. Players are totally defenseless on those kind of hits from behind.
Exactly. Anything else being argued is moot. Carcillo shoved him dangerously into the boards not letting up when he saw that Gilbert was defenseless. Textbook boarding whether ot not the hit was from behind. Major due to the severity. Instant karma got him with his torqued knee, and easily a 4-8 gamer in my books.
...and this coming from me--the guy who loved seeing Scott Ragdoll Westgarth, Wiz ragdoll Tootoo, Loved Campbell's open ice hit on Umberger, loved Seabs putting Cleary into the bench, loved Hextall giving Chelios a well-deserved beatdown, and of course has a special place in his heart for guys like Probert, Twist, Grimson, Domi, etc.
