Because Carcillo is not a good thing. He's a bad thing.

I hated the move when we made it, but he has done nothing but play hard, smart hockey since coming to us.

I'm willing to change my tune when it's appropriate and in this case, it certainly is.

He's a better player then Dorsett. He actually has been more productive then Dorsett over his career as well. His fundamentals are far better and his stats are slightly better.

Dorsett is a 0.21 PPG, while Carcillo is a 0.23. Dorsett's GPG is .09 while Carcillos is .11.

The knock on Carcillo is he's an effective fourth line player who can't keep his head on straight. Thing is, he has here, which is how he should be judged. I've seen him walk away from 5-10 fights already as a Ranger. He is clearly learning to keep it under control.

The interference call last game was the first really bad penalty he's had since coming here.

How many have we won with carcillo in the lineup compared to dorsett

 

[shoves]

And all of you whining about Dorsett taking penalties: with our PK goal production lately, thats a good thing right?

 

[Idlerlee]

Dorsett early season was a horrorshow that took more dumbass penalties than Kreider, who takes one every single match.

Then Dorsett cleaned up his act, made some points, played solid, most people agreed he was fantastic for 4th line.

Dorsett gets injured, Carcillo does replaces him with bravado

Dorsett returns by reverting to season start shenanigans. Everybody hates Dorsett.

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

MOD Carcillo has scored at great times for us would like to keep a good thing going

 

[Cassano]

Lol @ the thought of Carcillo having a positive impact for the team while on the ice.

I think if you're playing someone because their two goal sample happened at the right time, you should not play that player.

 

[Hire Sather]

Lol @ the thought of Carcillo having a positive impact for the team while on the ice.

Oh, I guess he has low Corswick or Fensi then.

 

[Wolfy*]

In fairness to carcillo he has played very disciplined since he came and we have been winning

Too disciplined, he was picked up for his gritty stuff, but has shown none. There's nothing special about Carcillo anymore.

Dorsett adds some toughness to the lineup, doesn't matter if he's losing a fight as long as he drops em when necessary. He shouldn't be benched just because he's been out for a while with an injury, and he's above Carcillo on the depth chart.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Carcillo is perhaps the best bargain we had in years. He will cost us a conditional 7th round pick if we re-sign him. Amazing

The condition is if he stays on the roster through the end of the season.

So you want someone who will fight...end up losing and give the other team the momentum

 

[Cassano]

Perhaps...

The 'energy' Carcillo brings in his paltry 8 mins per game on the 4th line is the reason for the Rangers better shooting and save perecentage?

He doesn't really make a positive influence on the team when he's playing. It's just that they've been luckier in games when he's in. This sort of thing happens all the time.

So the goals he chipped in mean nothing...yea ok than makes perfect sense

 

[ecemleafs]

So the goals he chipped in mean nothing...yea ok than makes perfect sense

he has 2 goals...

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

he has 2 goals...

And you going to tell me those weren't two important goals? Also he has two cups and leadership something dorsett doesn't have

 

[Thirty One]

also he has two cups and leadership something dorsett doesn't have

lolololol

Ah. Still, a great asset for a 7th round pick.

Provides energy to the team, losing or not. Fights are just slap fests anyway, not often do you see a hockeyfight knockout...

 

[Synergy27]

How do you keep these fringe, energy guys hungry and, well, energetic? You create competition between them.

I think Carcillo has been really good here and I HATED the acquisition, but hell, do what you gotta do to keep them busting their ass AV.

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

Are you referring to a certain player on the hurricanes

 

[EpicDing]

Ah. Still, a great asset for a 7th round pick.

This. You hope a 7th rounder can become an NHL player.

 

[surGeon]

I hated the acquisition of Carcillo, but the 4th line has been solid with him on it.

 

[nevesis]

That's the problem.

****ing lol at that.

 

[Brock Sampson]

I like Carcillo. He pisses everyone off and uses that to his advantage. I don't think there is too much of a difference between Dorsett and Carcillo, but I would rather see carbomb out there.

From a different perspective, he may have pissed some people off in the recent game so maybe AV is taking him out to prevent a fight. Highly doubt it, but you never know.
