it was exactly the type of hit that the nhl has been trying to put a stop to-and with good reason. the puck was long gone; illegal hit resulting in a severe concussion.

Whether he left his feet or not, he targeted Horton's head...there's no way to spin it otherwise. If that's a legal hit, then toss the rule book.

I stand by the statement that if Horton still has the puck, that's 100 percent, absolutely a legal hit. At some point, the onus has to be on the player with the puck to be somewhat aware of his surroundings. Rome hit him with a shoulder in the open ice - if that is the kind of hit we're trying to get rid of in hockey, then the NHL might as well ban checking in general. Three youtube videos were posted before of perfectly legal hits of a similar ilk to what Aaron Rome did the other night with the only significant difference being that the players in those videos has the puck whilst Nathan Horton didn't. There's a big difference between hitting to kill (see: Matt Cooke on every shift) and trying to make a big hit and epicly failing in its timing (see: Aaron Rome in game three). Rome deserved the suspension, but for the result rather than the intent.

Cooke is a weasel of the highest order. No place for him anywhere outside a professional wrestling ring.

Another strong performance for the Bs last nite. Hopefully they can maintain their momentum tomorrow nite.
Milbury with funny comment between 2nd and 3rd periods. He called the Sedin twins Thelma and Louise. While very funny, probably not an appropriate comment. T & L were very tough girls. |

Since the Aaron Rome hit, the B's are on a 12-1 run. Pretty incredible stuff. The Canucks have a long and storied history of being soft defensively, and it showed the last two games. Ryan Kesler can't play all 12 forward positions.

On the flip side, Tim Thomas has been incredible.

Wow, another great game.
Tough break for the B's losing on that semi-flukey goal.

It sure was great entertainment for the whole game. Makes me hate the f***ing NBA all the more. Here's looking forward to a Game 7 and a B's win!

Wow, the Briuns have opened a can of whip-ass on the Canucks. About 12 minutes into the first and they are up 4-0 while chasing Luongo in the process.

Game 7 will be fun. |

I can't believe that a team one win from the Cup could come out with such a hideous effort basically from the opening faceoff...Jeez, come out flying for 10 minutes at least..Maybe Luongo will STFU and stop a puck in game 7. Vancouver should be embarassed by that debacle.
I also think Tim Thomas just wrapped up the Conn Smythe win or lose game 7.

I agree with you regarding Thomas, barring a disasterous game I think he locked it up too.

I'm pretty sure it was J.S. Giguere in 2003.
