 Look, I like anyone in a Flyers uniform too. And Daniel Carcillo is playing a lot better than even in my wettest dreams I hoped he ever would. But you guys have to back off, because you're heralding of his play is driving casually across state lines from Support into North Blow Job.
Carcillo made a smart decision to not fight Colton Orr. He earned himself some praise for actually taking the face shots Orr was dishing out and not pulling a Claude Lemieux like Derrick Dorsett did against Brad Staubitz on Saturday night. But like most things he does as a performer, which is really what agitators are at heart, he was even embellishing those face shots (ironically he looked a bit Upshallian, didn't he!). It's probably been made very clear to him that as a first liner he is expected to be on the ice more and in the penalty box less. You could even hear it in his words between periods because he used to be the guy playing 2-3 minutes a game. But now from the first line he can hardly see those workers anymore.
And yes, he made a nice pass to Simon Gagne. He does a number of good things throughout a game. But no, just because he's a Dementor Apprentice doesn't mean that every decent pass he makes means you have to make a power point presentation out of it and hang it on the fridge. Claude Giroux's pass to JVR in Tampa? Yes. A pass to a guy 10 feet from you in the slot? It's great but a 'nice pass from Carcillo' would be enough.
Not:
The Toyota Great Look of the Game.
The Dannon Great Preparation to Pass of the Game.
The American Standard Great Pass Into Somebody's Skates of the Game.
The Trojan Great Follow Through of the Game
The KJ and the Sunshine Band Great Celebration of the Game.
Our goony agitator didn't drop the gloves against a meathead and we didn't score on the double minor that ensued. The next period he got an assist. I like what Car Bomb brings to an extent but don't, and I'm talking directly to you Coatsey, even though I'm cross-eyed, don't act like if Carcillo did that to Orr you wouldn't be secretly chirping Orr for not stepping up to the plate. I've heard you argue both sides of the stick breaking slash penalty 217 times (last night in the same game) this year. The league 'has to reexamine that rule' when Jeff Carter knocks someone's stick out of his hands, but when Phil Kessel does it to the apparently weak-gripped Chris Pronger 'that's the rule.'
I expect a little less homerism (no pun, Paul) on Thursday.
