The Carolina Hurricanes have today to erase the memories of yesterday's lopsided defeat to the Bruins. The good news? The Canes still lead the best-of-seven Eastern Conference semifinals series 3-2, with Tuesday's Game 6 on home ice instead of in Boston.
The Canes await word on the status of Scott Walker, whose late-game punch to Bruins defenseman Aaron Ward earned him an instigator penalty (on top of a fighting infraction and 10-minute misconduct) and thus a review by the league for a possible one-game suspension. TSN's Bob McKenzie thinks Walker may not be suspended for the hit, and his argument is one I've heard from a couple different places already.

The N&O web site has a hearing and notice from Rutherford that Walker has been suspended and a hearing at 12:30 PM today will ne held regarding the KO on Ward. Please review for accuracy but I think Scotty will sit out tonight.

The suspension is an automatic because of the ruling on the ice. The hearing will determine whether or not it will stick. It’s still too early to tell for sure.

You could speculate, but with the way the NHL has been inconsistent this it’s really not even worth it.

no kidding. It is totally impossible to get into the “league’s head” on these suspensions on the playoffs.
0 games and 2 games would be equally unsurprising to me.

With any luck the NHL will review all the stuff
on the ice and put notice on both teams, “No funny stuff away from the puck or after it”

I just heard on 96 rock that Walker would play in game 6, but was fined $2,500 dollars?
Still not a crook!

Gotta love J.R. talking smack
Trash talking via press release. Love it:
"We are satisfied with the league’s ruling," said Hurricanes President and General Manager Jim Rutherford. "After our team received several punches throughout the series leading up to Game 5, it was a matter of time before one was going to be thrown back."
"I accept the league’s decision," said Walker. "Based on what was said on the ice as I was dropping my gloves, it was my understanding that I was engaged in an altercation."

Oh sweet.
Now if we can drop it and skate we should have a good chance tomorrow night.
Love, love, love the Canes!

This is bogus. They had it coming all series. We’ll take them in game 6. We’ll take them by storm.

I had a feeling that we would let them have at least 1 more…………they need different ref’s for the next game and the league needs to look at the antics of the b’s players and fans before someone get’s seriously hurt!

What’d the fans do?

ok, I’d love to continue this discussion. The towels were pretty harmless, I though. cheapshots? from the fans? anyhow, there’s a “reply” button that makes threads much easier to understand.

clearly said “the league needs to look at the antics of the b’s players and fans before someone get’s seriously hurt!”
Towels/debris by fans, cheap shots by players.

there has been plenty of extracurricular activity by players.
The towel throwing is a new thing, though. Into the penalty box = awesome. Onto the ice = easy way to get a delay of game.
