NHL disciplinarian Colin Campbell ruled it was NOT a sucker-punch. If that wasn't a sucker punch then WTF is?

Someone earlier brought up a great point that is being overlooked. If Ward cannot play tomorrow night (he did fly to Raleigh) then the Bruins will likely be down 3 defensemen. Ference, Ward and Hunwick would all be out.

That leaves 5 with Chara, Stuart, Montador, Hnidy, and Wideman. Montador blows. Hnidy is inexperienced (although he has played well when called on).

Will have to look up who is in Providence for defensemen. I know Johnny Boychuck is but is more of an offensive defenseman. Don't know who else though.

.

Then--if it wasn't a sucker punch--why was he fined?

Players don't get fined for hurting someone in a clean fight.

Real mixed message being sent, and that's why today's NHL is a joke

You know Mike, I never even thought of that. That makes it even more f'd up.

Hopefully we go in and punish the 'Canes like we did in Game 5. Check the hell out of anything in a red jersey. Leave no doubt who the better team is.

Game 7! This would be a good come back if they can pull it off. They are playing like they should now. Hopfully Savard is ok.

Julien said after the game that Savard came to him to go back in and Julien told him to just rest. He said he'd be ready for Game 7.

Yeah they played very poised tonight. Staal is still a little b*tch. I especially liked the open hand blow to Ward's left eye as the puck was being moved up the ice.

The one thing that still bothers me is the fact that they still can't move the puck out of their own zone for what seems like minutes at a time.
