He and Carcillo got wrapped up together in a scrum around the Flyers net...both players drop the gloves and Carcillo just manhandles him...and at no point did any of the Rangers do anything to protect Gaborik. Shocking.
On a side not, Avery got slapped around by Hartnell and then he and Carcillo danced around not getting much done.
I like how Voros goes after the comparatively tiny Asham.

Comparatively tiny? Asham may be at a reach disadvantage, but he's far from tiny at 205 lbs. Nor would Voros be considered "a wimp" going after Asham, as Asham is a known scrapper. I would call Carcillo a wimp for "going after" Gaborik or even fighting him in general, but Gaborik really brought it on himself by continuing the pushing and shoving and then actually dropping his gloves.
Hartnell won that one fair and square by getting his shots in quick and early. I thought it was weird how well Avery held his own against Carcillo, probably even winning a decision there...
As for the Rangers not protecting Gaborik, Carcillo said it perfectly in the interview: "I'm not really sure who they have on that line that really could've done anything." A nice jab right at Dubinsky. The Rangers failed by not dressing Brashear against the Flyers. Seriously? C'moooooooon!
Well anyone named Marion really shouldn't be dropping their gloves let a loan dropping them first.
Carcillo had two choices let Marion punch him or hand Marion his lunch, Carcillo made the right decision and Marion not so much.!!

Had you seen the cuts on Carcillo's hands, you'd underrstand why he wasn't throwing them. Neither did anything in that "fight."
Carcillo didn't go after Gaborik. It was a scrum after the play and everyone sort of paired off. When Gaborik drops them first, it doesn't make Carcillo a wimp.
Doesn't matter who is on that line, you don't watch one of your best players get manhandled like a rag doll.
I was just saying that Asham was at quite the disadvantage because of his size, height, and reach.
Oh, and the rest of the league commenting on Carcillo being classless and everything else they're saying shout STFU. It's a man's game in the NHL and if you drop them first, you put the star status aside and handle your business. Grow a pair.
I don't think it was Carcillo being classless as much as it was Gaborik being stupid. What the hell are you thinking getting into a shoving match with a player like Carcillo? It's not like he's going to throw up his hands and say "Sorry, you're a star player, I can't fight you."

Exactly. It's one thing to just do some pushing and shoving, but to be the one who drops the gloves first is more than an invitation.
