Ranking the Flyers: Number 20

Both of those players take dumb penalties too, Hartnell just has a lot of other value to get him up to #8… and Cote is getting smoked in the vote by Carcillo consistently, so it’s not like the votes are saying Cote is of more value. I find Carcillo frustrating, in that he often acts like a much younger player than he is, just from a behavior standpoint. I realize his reputation gives him trouble, but that applies to the other too, as well. Hartnell is treated as a laughing stock by other cities (look at some other team’s boards), and Cote’s reputation also precedes him. It’s also working against both Cote and Carcillo that they sort of share a role with Asham, so regardless of their individual strengths and skills, their perceived shared role decreases their individual values in the poll. If Carcillo can start to behave in a slightly more mature manner more often, and I think he is starting to head in the right direction, I believe he’ll start to command a little more respect.

You gotta be aware of your reputation and not do questionable stuff then.

i have to disagree, and say he does in fact take dumb penalties often at bad times, he also dives more than crosby.
