    Karma for whom exactly?

    They both seemed to take a hefty knock on the noggin.

    I'm assuming Gryba, but Orpik took a solid shot to the chin as well.

    Game 1 Montreal-Toronto, Gryba gives an illegal check to Lars Eller. Eller gets knocked out, and had to leave the game.

    This time, Gryba receives a legal hit from Orpik.

    While Gryba's sufferance isn't even close to Eller, I guess we could call it "karma".

    The lesson should be play with your head up. Eller should go kick Diaz in the face for that pass.

    What did Orpik do to deserve that?

    Basically player #44 and player #62 collided. If both players add the single digits in their jersey numbers together, then you get two 8's.

    Basically Orpik + Gryba = Lindros or Kane?

    Is karma a new fancy word for clean hit?

    If Orpik was 4 inches lower he would have fended much better in that hit. Great to see a clean hit regardless

    exactly! you got it, it's no more complicated than that

    it's only karmic payback because he knocked Eller out of the series and return he got knocked out of the series
