This series just got a whole lot more interesting. I expect the B's to come out with a fire under their asses tomorrow night. And the 'Canes had better hope it's a close game throughout. If it's a blowout either way, watch out.

That is BS. Lucic missed a game for cross checking a guy up high and didn't hurt him. Walker jumps into a skirmish that he isn't even supposed to be a part of, sucker punches Ward and injures him, and all he gets is a small fine? If either team gets a comfortable lead late in game 6, watch out. Somebody may end up needing assistance to get off the ice.
