Boston 4 Carolina 2 (series tied 3 - 3)
Game seven in Boston where NHL Vice President Colin Campbell has advised the referees to continue to allow the
Hurricanes to trip, slash, aim blows to the knees of star Bruin players, sucker punch others with no consequence of
penalties or suspensions.
How is it not a sucker punch when a player has hands at his side. I agree with Aaron Ward - the media are a bunch of sheep that report whatever they are told.
Aaron Ward, who has a purple bruise under his left eye, spoke today for the first time since being punched by Scott Walker in the third period of Game 5. Walker was fined $2,500 for the incident, but had an automatic one-game suspension (instigating in the final five minutes of a game) rescinded by the league.
"It's a joke. It's honestly a joke," Ward said of the situation.
According to Ward, he was initially barking at Matt Cullen, who had slashed him in the back of the legs. Ward was telling Cullen he didn't like the slash when Walker came in first with a gloved left hand.
Walker then dropped his gloves and nailed Ward with a right hand. Ward said he didn't see Walker and never exchanged any words with him.
"I don't remember a single word being said," Ward said of the exchange between he and Walker. "I was looking at Matt Cullen. The moment I saw his right hand was when it was about a foot away from my face."
