Chicago Blackhawks forward Daniel Carcillo has been suspended six games by the NHL Department of Player Safety for cross-checking Winnipeg's Mathieu Perreault.
Carcillo had a telephone hearing on Monday after waiving his right to an in-person hearing.
Carcillo is considered a repeat offender under the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement and, based on his average annual salary, will forfeit $40,243.92. The money goes to the Players’ Emergency Assistance Fund.

How many times do you want this guy to injure someone before you tell him to pack it up? It makes no sense to me.
Whether it's Carcillo or Cooke, they are frequently endangering others and risking the careers of the competition. Just get them out of here. The league will not miss these morons.

I think it was Rob Ray during the Canucks-Panthers intermission said he saw nothing wrong with what Car Bomb did. His fine is just the cost of doing business.
This is why the NHL can be such a joke at times. This guy shouldn't even be in the league anymore. And he gets 6 games as a repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat offender.

It was Brad May.
Considering May had been suspended in his career for dirty hits, and was the one who put out a bounty on Steve Moore shortly before the Bertuzzi incident, I am not surprised he feels this way.

Meh...Carbomb is a repeat Knucklehead...and with the "in-person" review (that he waived) with DPS...6 was gonna be the minimum...this just means that Teriveinen is not gonna be scratched in the next six games, and neither is Nordstrom.
As far as the Crosscheck goes...it was unnecessary, but, I've seen worse, as others here have pointed out...some of the mass murder in the low slot, with no calls, is every bit as brutal...
In this case, though, it was after the whistle, and a cheap shot (but not to the head)...And I think it is truly hard to say that a hard cross check to the upper arm, or shoulder, is clearly an "intent to injure"...I've seen D-men break their sticks with similar cross checks...
so 6 games for our end of the bench forward, who will be a scratch most of the time when he returns, as he would be a high risk for calls, due to heavy scrutiny from the officials.
I wasn't happy that we signed this clown, but, am surprised that he made to the season's half way point before doing something this stupid...and I am glad that Perrault wasn't as badly injured as first reported (was initially reported as a broken bone, now appears to be a deep bone bruise)

9 seasons, but only 466 games - or just over 5 1/2 seasons. How a 12-time offender gets just 6 is beyond me, even if a normal players gets 1 or nothing for that.

446 games, 12 fines/suspension. That means the NHL has had to discipline Daniel Carcillo once every 39 games, over twice a season. Man.
That play wasn't that awful, but when a guy like Carcillo does it and hurts a guy, with that history, league has no choice.
For comparison's sake: Matt Cooke has six suspensions, four fines in 1142 games. One every 114 gms. That's *three times less* than Carcillo.
