Former NHL tough guy and current American Hockey League goon Trevor Gillies was ejected from an Abbotsford Heat game on Friday night after using excessive force to slam Rochester Americans winger and Buffalo Sabres prospect William Carrier’s head into the ice. Gillies is now a player (term used loosely) for the Adirondack Flames of the AHL, who faced the Rochester Americans on Friday night ... and Gillies ‘faced his opponent, Amerks rookie winger William Carrier.
With 3:09 left to play, Gillies grabbed Carrier – a St. Louis Blues pick in 2013 who isn’t a fighter, let alone one with the work history of Gillies – and began pounding him with punches. Eventually, Carrier went to the ice in an attempt to avoid the onslaught, with no interest in fighting. Gillies wasn’t exactly a fan of this pacifism, and promptly grabbed Carrier by the jersey and slammed his head to the ice.You might remember Gillies from his lackluster and violent time in the NHL, during which his goonery left multiple players out of action for extended periods of time. Carrier seems OK from the video, but that can't be good for the brain.
