Boston Bruins defenceman Aaron Ward can't believe Carolina Hurricanes forward Scott Walker was not suspended for his punch in Game 5 of their Eastern_Conference semifinal on Sunday. Ward's arms were at his side and was defenceless when Walker took him down with one punch.

The NHL rescinded Walker's one-game suspension for instigating the fight in the last five minutes of the game after a hearing on Monday. Walker said he was coming in to defend teammate Matt Cullen, who was engaged in a verbal confrontation with Ward.
"If you, the media, accept that you're a bunch of sheep," Ward told the Raleigh News & Observer. ". . . It just allows people to get off scot-free."
Responded NHL Vice President Colin Campbell and I quote, "Baaaaa,
