THEY HAVE A STANLEY CUP RING...DOES RYAN MILLER?

Calm down bud.... Can't take a joke eh?

ya know doubt....Weber gets a Fine for taking Zetterbergs head off...no suspension..Bitz gets 2 games...Whos next..Neal?? Shanny is a BIG joke

I wonder why Carkner gets a game, but Boyle gets nothing for his "sucker punches" the game before?

I think Shanny's formula is 1-4 sucker punches is fine, 4-8 gets you one game.
One playoff game equals is equal to what was it 12 normal games, so it's about a one to one ratio?

What's so hard to understand?

Unfortunately, all that appears to contribute to the amount of games suspended is the resulting injury on the play.

boyle on karlsson wasn't so much a sucker punch. his gloves were on and he gave a few shoves to the face. carkner however dropped his gloves and pummeled boyle.

That was my first thought.

would be cool if buffalo hosted this usa prospect game every year

I used "sucker punches" in quotes as that's how Garth referred to them in the original blog.

I don't think they are sucker punches at all, Boyle knew it was coming and chose to turtle rather than defend himself. Carkner did pyle on a few afterwords but I think Boyle had it coming. That's probably the real difference and why it's a one game.

I might be in the minority here, but I admire how Carkner went after a 6'7 240#+ Boyle and turned him into a human pinata.

I think Boyle should be benched for not responding-

With all the un-avenged hits that have taken place in the SC so far, the Lucic/Miller episode looks pretty lame.

Yeah, I thought all Boyle did was facewash Karlsson.

You admire jumping a guy and sucker punching him?

i actually could of seen him getting more because while boyle may have saw it coming it was a sucker punch with his glove off.

End of the day Boyle is a pansy and I'm happy what Carkner did as it changed the attitude of the team in that game and hopefully for the series.

it should of been dealt with that game, as anyone who messes with karlsson should have to answer to neil, smith, cowen, etc. Unfortunately that didn't happen and it rolled over to the next game and Carkner took it into his own hands. he paid the price for it, but it was a good move for the "team" in the end.
