snip i assume you watched the game, correct? oh this was kind of funny/dirty: http://yfrog.com/47hycvz I have seen both sequences in full, several times. And watched it again as I am typing this. Carcillo took a little shove near the crease, and Miller gave him a shove/swing. He didn't get hit in the face, Carcillo faked it, and then pretended to be knocked out/flopped, before collapsing into the crease. As for Richards, you cannot seriously think popping an elbow that high is simply "bracing" himself.
