I figure Carkner gets nothing except maybe a fine and Hagelin gets a game, maybe 2.

Can anyone actually like carkner? I find this post far-fetched.
Madferret said:Well worth the game imo.

This is the playoffs, man. You pick on a superstar half your size, you're gonna have to take your medicine (unless you're playing Vancouver). Carkner got tossed, leaving Ottawa with 5 defensemen for the rest of the game, the Rangers got a 5 minute power play out of it, and Carkner was suspended. They just should have capitalized on it.
I don't blame Boyle for it, he did his job. He got under Karlsson's skin in game 1, and earned his team a 5 minute power play in game 2, as well as scoring a goal. But he's also not stupid. He knows what he did pissed off the Sens, and he knows what Konopka and Carkner drawing into the lineup means.
If he didn't want to get his ass whooped, he should have stepped up and answered for it.

I don't understand how Domi's elbow on Niedermayer relates to Carkner pummeling Boyle...

I said they were both cheap, dirty plays. How is that not a relation? It was a cheap, dirty play that I didn't like. Carkner's was a cheap, dirty play that I didn't like. As I said, I was trying to think of a play that fit that criteria, perpetrated by the team I follow, so I could find a point of reference of how I would feel if it was someone on my team doing it.
