I have no problem with it, besides the fact he argued with the refs after the fact. He is just trying to get an advantage for his team, just didn't work this time. I can't remember the last game I watched that someone didn't embellish a penalty. Part of the game, do everything you can to win.

if you get high sticked and you want to make sure that the refs see it, that is one thing but to completely make up a call and then argue for it. There is no place for it in hockey. do whatever it takes to stop this.

haha typical Flyers hockey

[MacK_Attack]

At least he didn't get the call....Mike Ribeiro did that against the Leafs in October and got the call...and then scored on the ensuing powerplay.

As much as the New Jersey Devils have bored me to death over the years I just can't get myself to cheer for the Philadelphia Flyers. In a pick your poison scenario I'd have to give the nod to the Devils.

Nice.

He made an ass of himself, which I doubt he cares about, but he also just embarrassed his coach, who was screaming at the ref about the non-call.

I would tend to agree with you if this was an embellishment, but it wasn't. Pretty much everyone embellishes, it's part of the game and happens multiple times a game, but there's a difference between embellishment and faking. If he got nicked ever so slightly in the face and he makes it looks worse than it actually is, that's fine, but when he isn't touched (not even within a couple feet) and he "pretends" that he was and proceeds to even check for blood, well, not sure I could say I don't have a problem with that. Coming from someone like Carcillo makes it even more annoying.

Carcillo is a little *****. He likes to think he's tough and then he goes and does that.

[Rockitman]

What a joke

OMFG Carcillo is such a ******... hate him almost as much as cindy

[Trapt1307]

What a scumbag.

[MCleveland89]

Meet Carcillo's cat.

I wish refs called for diving more than they do.

[Nev]

What a piece of garbage. If the league had any testicles they'd suspend him for a game.

That's true. Even his shoulder surgery is embellished as he's still trying to get the refs to notice.

From what I've heard he's trying to get outta his co-pay, and other medical bills

[Wings_Dynasty]

If the Wings did that and won I wouldn't care. Just like Philly fans don't care with their 2-1 series lead.

Meh - for me there's still the douchebag factor which is why I have a hard time respecting soccer/fooootball players...Those guys drop as though they suffered a headshot from a sniper...Even Milbury while between the benches acknowledged the Red Wings class yesterday; it all starts from ownership on down.

I agree to an extent. I hate when I see Euro soccer with guys BLATANTLY feigning injuries. In that respect North American soccer is tops. And don't get me wrong, I would LOVE to see Carcillo catch a dirty elbow from a guy and be down for a month. My point was that if we win the Cup, who really cares about a few embellishments? I wouldn't.

[puffy]

It goes both ways though. We could just as easily lose the cup with this kind of crap.

The do anything to win philosophy is basically sending the message that this kind of behaviour is ok, when it really isn't.

The refs need to grow some balls and start calling diving penalties.

[micah]

I like Carcilo and I like his game.

I hate diving. I don't think it's okay to exagerate to get a call - that's garbage. Play the game and quit worrying about what the other guy is doing and whether the ref sees it or not. This was worse that exageration, this was a freakshow. Carcilo you just lost a fan.

Still, go Flyers!
