I have been pleasantly surprised with Carbomb's play to date this season and have appreciated the extra physicality and snarl he has added to the bottom 6 along with the unexpected offensive output, however...
he looks to me like he's got "the twitch."
By "the twitch" I mean, he's got the look in his eyes and the snarl in his face that he looks like at any minute he could pull off his skate and stab people and I would not be surprised.
I noticed it building on the road trip i.e. the scene with Shaw having to restrain him from getting a suspension by engaging in a fight after the Oduya hit in the Ducks game and then him wanting a fight from the get-go against the Kings before finally getting it at the end. I hoped that was just him going a little crazier than usual because of the extra stresses of a long road trip and being away from his new baby, and that maybe he could get back to more of the more careful guy he was to start the year once he got back on home ice. But I didn't see any of that calmer Carcillo on the ice tonight against the Blues.
Maybe it's just him getting amped for the playoffs and this is a sort of unpredictability and danger the Hawks want him to bring to throw off the opponents?
Maybe he's getting nervous about his place in the lineup with Nordstrom doing OK and Sharp almost back?
Whatever it is... I wish he would just chill out. Do some yoga or take a spa day or meditate or pet a kitty or sing his kid a lullaby or something and chill out.
Because he's stressing me out with the nervous energy I'm expending the last few games watching him and hoping that for the sake of himself, his new child, and this team that he doesn't just like totally snap.
(This concludes a thread in which I complain about the only thing I can think to complain about immediately after the Hawks extend their winning streak against Western Conference playoff teams from last year to 4 games.)
