My guess is that Walker will miss the rest of this series, at the very least, for the punch.

Agreed on both points.

Yeah... I'm afraid Walker will be out. I'm not happy that A. Ward's orbital bone is broken, but I wouldn't call looking a man square in the eye and taking a full wind up a "sucker punch." Walker doesn't have the reputation of being a dirty player. Ward has been asking for a confrontation - I'm just sorry both he and Walker will likely be gone for the rest of the playoffs.

As both of these men will understand, actions have consequences.

How about the the slash by Jokinen? I bet that will also get reviewed.
I think the momentum might have shifted, we will see Tuesday?
