RALEIGH, N.C. - A punch to the face probably won't keep Aaron Ward off the ice. Despite a broken bone in his face, the Boston Bruins defenseman says he expects to play in Tuesday night 's Game 6 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. He was punched by Carolina's Scott Walker two nights earlier during a late-game dustup that drew a $2,500 fine — but no suspension — for the Hurricanes forward.

The guy got suckerpunched - whether Walker thinks he was in an altercation or not - and is set on playing in the game tonight. Damn. I wonder if he pisses testosterone.

Match this up next to pretty much every other sport and you have the makings of a mismatch.

Let's look at some of the injuries in the other sports, shall we?

Kendrick Perkins - Sore shoulder
Dustin Pedroia - Sore groin
Dontrelle Willis - Anxiety disorder
Manny Ramirez - Female infertil... oops, nevermind.
Lamar Odom - Sore back
Chris Carpenter - Annual injury
Yao Ming - Hurt foot
Chien Ming Wang - Awful pitching

and then Aaron Ward - Broken orbital bone in his face.

Out of those listed, guess who's still playing. Well you don't have to because I already told you, but I made my point.
