4 games! jesus..... that's cruel :/

does he even get to come on the ice when we win the cup? :D



Horton for Rome... wasn't worth it :/

ummm ya it was worth it.. Horton is the leading scorer for Boston... Rome is a plug.

meh id rather see Rome still in it with a big troll face whenever he passes Horton for hurting him instead of the both of them being out (what you guys failing prefer it the way it is with both of them out of the game? and Horton seriously injured? :crazy2:)

Rome isn't a superstar. Of course he gets 4 games. If he was one playing for an american team maybe have that suspension cut in half if anything.

But also maybe they didn't want the B's to target rome and make him public enemy whenever hes on the ice.

Page 1500...woohooo

I'm watching darts today. I want to see a Phil Taylor 9 darter.

i'm so nervous and anxious waiting for game 4.. i just want the canucks to play their game and not get sucked into the physicality that boston thrives on. we need to regain focus on playing between whistles... we did that earlier on and throughout the season. i just hope they realize it's a matter of them choosing what they want to do the rest of this series.

this hit is clean, dont care what u guys say. the nhl suspend rome due to comments and injury AFTER THE HIT WAS MADE!!!

north -> south hit. clean imo.

It's interference no matter how you look at it. The hit was LATE.

It's a 4-game suspension cause Horton is critically injured and had to be carried out of a stretcher, and Rome is a plug.

If that was Shea Weber being the perpetrator, it would've been 1 game MAX.

yeah its "interference" which is a 2 min penalty but suspension was base on the comments and injury after the hit is what im saying. NHL worry too much about what the fans think.

If you are judging this hit all you need is this gif to make judgements...

it's clear that the length of the suspension was based on the severity of the injury. it's already been talked to death, let's move on. it's done.

I think this is a double edged sword here, horton taunted rome earlier, and rome foolishy reacted with a big hit. 4 Game suspension is ridiculous, just shows how buddy buddy the bruins are with the NHL commity. And theres replays of horton trying to get up a few moments after while being forced down by the medical staff.. These guys are pro athletes that take big hits all the time, yet they are treating them like babies..

Considering Boston scored 8 goals without him, Boston showed that they don't really need Horton.

If you're referring to the medical staff preventing Horton from moving that is absolutely the right thing to do. Guys often want to get up and not look weak but are so out of it they don't know how severe their injuries may be. He was c-spined for a reason: he was knocked out very badly and probably has a level three concussion. That's not treating a pro athlete like a baby.

cressydrift u failed my post, what facts do you have to back up your fail?

hit was clean and suspension was fair
2 games for severe injury
2 game for late hit and message sending out to the rest of the nhl this is unacceptable

It had more to do with the Canucks failed pp/lack of backcheck on the pp, and a couple of lucky goals. The rest of the series will speak for itself. I would be surprised if the Bruins could keep that type of intensity and puck luck for the next possible 4 games.

You basically just re-wrote what I said. I am glad we've come to terms.

personally, i think there are waaaay too many Canuck songs now. The Terrel Safadi and Kyrpios ones were the best imo. What do you guys think of this?

btw 4 game suspension is bullshit, Rome had NO intent to injure and it wasn't a head shot.
Horton didn't keep his head up and he paid for it. NHL needs to stop basing their suspensions on the severity of the injury and start focusing on the intent of the hit. If Horton didn't get injured, Rome would've been left with a 2 minute interference call.

Fucking bullshit.

It was ruled completely NOT blindside hit.
