Thinking about this punch today too much...
If lucic did that to staal do you think the punishment would have been the same?
IMO He would’ve been suspended for a looong time. NHL rules are inconsistent.

would hate to be walker.... when the bruins are done with him, he will wish he was suspended.... we lose one of our best defensemen and he gets a measly fine.... he is going to get pounded in game 6 and 7.... the canes awoke a sleeping giant, and boston is going to take care of business.

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  |
Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.

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. |
