I don't know Carcillo personally, but I'd be willing to bet he's never in his life gotten a Christmas present as nice as Gabby dropping his mitts last night. Any of the haters would love him on their team. He is entertaining and his stock as an elite pest is climbing in a contract year.

I personally dont think it is gutless. What the Rangers should have done was go after some of the skilled guys on Philly in response.
Where the hell was Brashear in this game is the question Ranger fans should be asking.I think the funniest part of all this is watching the Rangers not do anything about it
HAHAHA wow.. talk about homer announcers.. MSG.. coulda guessed that without even looking up at the top... anyways...
Carcillo is a farly disrespectful player, We had him in Sarnia for the majority of his junior career, he's a pretty classless act alot of the time, he had a love/hate relationship with the teams he played on because he'd contirbute offensively, but his antics lead to several losses during the course of the season. But after his interview with Michael Landsberg, and watching the footage..
Gaborik innititated the fight, Carcillo has no intention of fighting in that little scrum, he just grabbed the closest guy and pulled him away. Gaborik let the emotions get the best of him and they happened at the wrong time.
Carcillo didn't throw and dirty shots after he went down and it seems he put his head down once he realized who he was fighting. People gotta remember half the time when you're fighting in situations like that where you just grab the closest person, you don't know who your fighting.. and i'd go as far to say once Carcillo realized who he was fighting he settled down a little.
Everyone's talking about Briere, Richards, etc. what if some enforcer goes after them? By all means if Briere punches Brashear in the face then by all means it's Brashear's right to drop Briere, but it's classless for enforcers to chase down a star player and force him to fight. That is not what happened here. Don't worry Carcillo haters, you'll have PLENTY more opportunites to bash him, he's not stepping back from the edge anytime soon.

I love how some of the rangers players say they wont forget and he will get his. Oh really? They must have already forgotetn as by my count didnt they have the 2 and 3 period to address the situation if they really wanted too? Lundquist is comical as well. All that talk for a goalie who will 99% never fight. Bottom line is the rangers got it handed to them in every facet in that game. It happens. Get over it. I hope the last game of the season is meaningless for the flyers(doubtful) as that will make that game much more entertaining. That overy sure is a tough guy as well.

This thread is LAUGHABLE. Sorry, but did i miss something? Is Gaborik a 12 year old girl in the middle of her troubling first period? No, he's a fully grown man that's responsible for his own actions and should back them up.
Gaborik cross checks Carcillo, scrums up with him and then drops his gloves. What in the name of christ do you expect Carcillo to do there? Turn around and leave it?
If Gaborik doesn't want to get the crap beaten out of him, he shouldn't drop his damn gloves. Christs sake...

If Giroux drops them, he'll get in a fight and we'll be happy with it.
THOSE'S THE RULES.

Those aren't the rules. That is why you don't see supserstars tangling it up with goons very often. Otherwise they would be run all day and night.
I think it was low personally and as I said before, if a Rangers brute decides to hit him in the face with an elbow or stick and injures him, then that should be fine too.
Or better yet, have Voros or Brashear completely take out (and I don't mean just with a big check, I mean as he is skating buy just punch him in the head/face) Richards. Then you will see how the tone will change.

Answer the question i asked then. Gaborik cross checks him, scrums him and then drops his gloves. What exactly do you expect Carcillo to do?
If this weren't Carcillo, there'd be no debate.
You're comparing a goat with a lion here. What relevance does a blind punch by a real goon have to this entire debate? When did Carcillo hit anyone with an elbow or a stick? It never happened, what point are you even debating?
No but that is what Carcillo deserves. I want to see a Rangers tough guy fight Carter/Richards. Lets have Brashear fight and pummel one of them and then you come here and say it's fine.

Oftentimes, I think Carcillo needs to learn to control himself. He has some skill and if he wasn't taking majors and misconducts he could help his team.
In this particular case, the Village Idiot role goes to Gaborik. Marian picked the fight, dropped the gloves and put himself in a bad spot. If Carcillo didn't take the challenge, he wouldn't have been doing his job. If Gaborik can't do the time, he shouldn't do the crime.

If Carter/Richards or any other star picks a fight with Brashear and drops the gloves, then they deserve it, just like Gaborik did.
Now what if Ovechkin invites Brashear to fight and roundly kicks Brashear's ass? I wouldn't be surprised if Ovechkin did. He looks like a middle linebacker.

Exactly. No one forced Gaborik to drop the gloves. I was surprised and somewhat impressed that he did, but he invited a beatdown. If Carter decided to fight Brashear, he deserves to get beaten up. That would be a stupid thing to do.
It's possible at this point.

At what point does Gaborik earn this respect? It's not like he killed him either, he gave him 3 punches and then let him hit the ground.
If Gaborik wants to act like one of the big boys, he's got to take what comes with the territory.

I gotta say...the only classless and gutless things to come from this fight are a whole pile of the posts in this thread.
Hoping Carcillo suffers a career ending injury at the hands of a Ranger? Seriously??
All because Gaborik dropped his gloves and Carcillo responded....did I miss the part where Gaborik was beaten to a pulp so badly that he will never play the sport again??
Totally classless posts in here....they are really unbelievable. Some of the posters in here should be pretty embarassed. Carcillo doesn't even compare to how gutless some of the comments in here are. You're making him look like a Saint that shows nothing but respect and honour. Good work!

Ever since the Carcillo/Gaborik incident, I've been trying to set up the fight on NHL10. Unfortunately for me, every time Carcillo starts to push around Gabby, one of his teammates comes RIGHT over and starts a fight with me. It's a shame that the videogame NYRangers have balls, and the real ones don't.

Next matchup is March 14. Probably will be the NBC game of the week.
Last time Carcillo pissed off the other team where words like "respect" were being thrown around, and the media got involved, the Leafs came out with a pretty inspired effort and we lost 4-0. Carcillo turned the puck over that resulted in Tyler Bozak's 1st NHL goal and was one of the goats of the game (I simply don't believe Niklas Hagman honestly challenged him, has Hagman ever been in a fight before even?). The next game will be interesting to say the least, and we'll see if he learned anything from it in regards to the next matchup.

Thank you Mr. Snider
If Richards or Carter is stupid enough to drop the gloves with Brashear, then I guess they'd get what they deserve. Are you really comparing Carcillo with Brashear?
Gaborik has no problem with the fight - why do you? If I were a NY Rangers fan, I'd be more pissed that no one stepped in for Gaborik, instead of trying to pin some sort of blame on Carcillo for obliging a player who dropped his gloves.
