Dan Carcillo is definitely a player with a certain reputation. Because of the reputation he has around the league for being a little 'dirty', he may not be able to get away with as much as he would like. Winnipeg Jets center Mathieu Perreault left Friday’s game against the Chicago Blackhawks and did not return after taking a cross check from Carcillo late in the second period. The game was physical from the start, and although Carcillo's cross-check was a rough one, it did not seem like there was any intent to injure on the play. Jets head coach Paul Maurice spoke out about the Carcillo incident. “I saw it on the video. It was a vicious cross-check to an unsuspecting player,” said Maurice, as per Brian Hedger of NHL.com. Carcillo said he does not think the hit was malicious, and referred to it as a hockey play, according to Mark Lazerus of the Chicago Sun-Times. "I hope he's okay," Carcillo added. The veteran agitator is a repeat offender, but declined to say he plays under a microscope. "You guys know my reputation," he told reporters. What do you fans think of the play?
