The Canucks got hosed on that suspension. That should've been only a crosschecking major.

Truthfully, I'm glad as a Canucks fan that Rome is gone. The guy is more of a liablity than an asset. He's a decent grinder and can play well when he wants to, but that last part is few and far between. In this case Vigneault will have no choice to dress and play Ballard (a decent 2 way defenseman who can jump in and contribute on offense and lays hip checks like nothing else. Besides, why constantly sit a 4 million dollar player...) or Tanev (another 2 way defensemen rookie; young but promising.)

AV better dress Ballard. .. :p

4 Game Suspension for Aaron Rome

And what Chara did to Max was nothing?
Yeah the suspension was a bit extreme...at most it was a late hit and Horton was admiring his pass.

How do you figure that was crosschecking? It was a clean check leading with the shoulder. Horton was admiring his pass and didn't have his head up coming up the middle. It was however a pretty late hit which was why it was correctly called an interference major. Because of the lateness of the hit he got popped with the supension for intent to injure!

Yup. Shoulder first. Horton fell very badly. No situational awareness and he didn't brace for it. Fortunately he's out of the hospital and home, but I'll bet he'll be suffering symptoms for a while.

One of the first things you learn in peewees? KEEP YOUR HEAD UP AND NEVER ADMIRE YOUR PASS! My Dad would bench you for the game if he saw one of us doing that....If we didn't have our head taken off by the opposing teams defenseman!  :lmao:

Is Horton the guy who Rich Peverly replaced in the Bruins' lineup?

If so . . . wow.  Heluva way for a fellow alum to get his chance to shine, eh? :o

No, I think Tyler Seguin was the one that replaced Horton.

15 down, 1 to go! Van City's got this.  :hyper:

7:00 can't get here fast enough.
