The league has to review this play, this is suspension worthy. I would say about 4-5 games at least. I don’t care what some homer writer from Carolina has to say, this was a cheap sucker punch. Back in 1995 when Rangers goon Tie Domi sucker punched the gutless puke Ulf Samuelsson and he got 8 games. In my opinion Scott Walker broke the code by punching a guy that wasn't ready...

Aaron Ward is questionable for tonight’s game. The Bruins are hoping that Blake Wheeler can learn a lot from watching the game up in the press box. If the Bruins want to win, they will need another monster game from Zdeno Chara. The Hurricanes haven’t [...]

Puck Daddy has been all over the now-rescinded suspension of Carolina Hurricanes badass Scott Walker, who was originally scheduled to sit out Game 6 for this “fight” with Boston’s Aaron Ward. And I think it was a good decision (for once) by Colin Campbell and the NHL. It’s not a sucker-punch, as everyone keeps calling [...]

Canes won 4-1 in Game 4 on Friday night.Attempts at writing full coherent paragraphs are not working out today, so here's what I remember:- Eric Staal played very good. At times he seemed like the only player truly trying out on the ice. His second goal of the night really drove the nail in the coffin for the Bruins.- Jussi Jokinen scored again. Perhaps not as momentus as his...

According to a few Boston Bruins hockey blogs and news sources Boston Bruin's defenseman Aaron Ward will play in game six against the Carolina Hurricanes. Colin Campbell must have went to the same school as Greg Shepherd and Bruce McLeod because they never seem to rule with an consistency in any of their rulings. If this had been Milan Lucic and he had sucker punched Eric Staal...

The Bruins aren’t lacking effort, but they are lacking the necessary execution so far in Round 2. Boston needs to get its forecheck going. “We know it’s do or die for us, and we know what it’s going to come down to: our will to [...]

Canes lost 4-0 in Game 5.Let me put it like this - the Canes were playing so bad that I fell asleep during the third period. Of a playoff game. That, my readers, is pretty frickin' bad.Of course, by sleeping through the last 15 minutes (the last thing I remember before being woken up with 25 seconds left was Erik Cole's stupid delay of game penalty), I missed the Scott Walker...
