A storm is Bruin in Carolina for Tuesday

If the Carolina Hurricanes lose this series after building a 3-1 series lead, they have nobody else to thank but Scott Walker. It took one sucker punch from Mr. Walker to wake a sleeping giant. Of all people to hit, he targets Aaron Ward, the one guy on the ice at that time that would night fight. I would have loved to see Walker try that crap on somebody else that was on the ice at that time like Lucic, Chara, or even old man Mark Recchi. The best part was listening to that puke Paul Maurice, coach of the Hurricanes, say that he will sell his truck to pay for Walker's fine (baring any fines). From AP - "Hurricanes coach Paul Maurice laughed off the incident, saying Walker might have sore knuckles. The coach also joked that Walker would have to sell his truck if there was a fine." You know Walker will be public enemy #1 on Tuesday night (baring any suspension). The Bruins have not been as physical this series as they were last series against the Habs, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say things will be different for game 6 (and possibly 7). You can expect the Hurricanes to become well acquainted Tuesday night with Milan Lucic, Shawn Thornton, Byron Bitz, and Mark Stuart. Heck, we might even see the new heavy hitting south paw Patrice Bergeron throw down again! In any case, Tuesday nights game is a must watch for not only Bruins/Canes fans, but for all hockey fans as you can expect this to be some good ole fashion hockey.

Indeed. Carolina only seems to be able to win by injuring their opponents. They could only win by gouging out Saku Koivu's eye, they could only win (in seven games!) by injuring Edmonton's starting goalie, and now they're pulling the same shit.

Honestly, I do hope Lucic and Chara drop the hammer on those fuckers. Look at me: rooting for Lucic and Chara. Hell has frozen over, folks.
