Why did the Chicago Blackhawks sign Daniel Carcillo?

[R K]

she is quite irate.

They make Monostat 7 for that.

Come on man. Watch the replay. Carcillo knows exactly where he is hitting him and he basically hit him as hard as he possibly could. He is also staring RIGHT at his target spot. I know you have been crosschecked in that spot before, so you know damn well how painful just a light crosscheck is. There is essentially no padding in that spot. He is lucky the stick gave and he didn't snap his arm in two.

Same Cross Check is done all over with no call. Dumb play, sure. Play that happens every game, no question. Reason it's an issue, it's Carcillo. Sorry I agree with Trev. If his name isn't Carcillo it's not even a discussion of suspension/discipline.

I blame Carcillo for the weather and our last 2 losses.... hes an asshole

You are not allowed to blame Carcillo for something so awesome as it being 40 degrees out in the middle of January! Just not allowed!!!

I don't think it's a smart play, but even Gorilla Salad "costing us a roster spot" is not nor should it be the hingepin between winning and losing.

The team has fixable problems right now that need fixing that are above and beyond this.

I think the injury suffered is also a substantial part of it.

Let's just get Versteeg back from injury, send Nordstrom down, and then ride these lines to the Cup:

Saad-Toews-Hossa
Versteeg-Richards-Kane
Sharp-Teuvo-Shaw
Bickell-Kruger-Smith

I would prefer a Bigfoot-Kruger-Smith 4th line.... fucking DMelt.... don't even put Bigfoot in for a Stanley Cup lines.... :lol:

Seems about right.

 

[winos5]

So from reading the comments here or at TSN it's either a routine crosschecking that goes uncalled numerous times in every hockey game or a heinous act to intentionally injure and he should be permabanned.

Probably somewhere between those extremes. Have a seat Carcillo. Call up one of the other tough guys or a yewt. Won't be missed.

 

[Capt. Serious]

Once his suspension is over, please waive his ass.

Don't want this gutless puke back in the Indian Head.

 

[Pez68]

Coincidentally, the first game after his suspension ends is against the Jets. Or maybe not a coincidence... Peluso is going to pummel him into the ice. That is, assuming the Hawks play him, and assuming he actually has the balls to drop the gloves(very questionable). If he doesn't drop the gloves, the Jets will be targeting the Hawks' skill players all night long. Hell, they probably will anyway.

I'm sure the guys really appreciate the fact that they are going to have to be on the lookout for cheap shots all game when they play the Jets the rest of this season...

When is Versteeg set to return, any idea?

No one said that.

Why do we wonder how fanbases for teams that guys like Cooke or Torres has been on can actually still support them? Well, a lot of us are doing it right now. This is how it's done. By shrugging off the type of shit players like them do by saying "Yeah maaaaybe it was bad....buuuuut..."

Is part of it due to him being who he is? Yep definitely. And it's a deserved reputation. He only has himself to blame. He has a whole career worth of pulling stupid, dangerous shit like this. Of course they'll be looking at him more closely, they should be. Just here alone we've seen him seriously injure himself in trying to seriously injure another player.

If Torres or Cooke had done this same thing to Kane or Hossa or Toews, people would be going ape shit here.
