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.
