Craigger you know I love ya brother, but even if a Bruins player did that to a Vancouver player I would be ashamed. The hit was extremely late and he left his feet. We will see what happens to Rome in 15 mins.

Dirty hit - yes
Blindside - questionable.
The reason for that is because the hit was straight on with Hortons body and the direction he was moving. North/South as Craigger put it. The problem is his head was looking at the pass, in a different direction. Therefore he didn't see the hit. So what classifies a blindside hit? That's for the NHL to make clear. (which they won't)
Hands down it was late and entirely uncalled for. Rome will be out at least 2 games.
Personally I would suspend him for the remainder of the finals. The reason for this is a game in the Cup finals is like 5-10 regular season games, if not more. The value is so much higher.

This made my morning.
During the press conference last night after the game, Tim Thomas and Mark Recchi sit down. Tim Thomas immediately says, "Don't call us old men because we'll both answer." I love Timmy Thomas!

Rome meeting with the NHL lasted 20 mins. The sports hub made a good point, if nothing happens to him then those types of hits are okay and you Canucks can watch the Sedin sisters start to drop like flys.

The twitter word is that Rome is out 4 games.

All that being said, I feel the Bite was 100x worse and the fact that their was no suspension will bite the NHL in the arse.
