Why Aaron Rome should not have been suspended for hit on Nathan Horton

This video shows why Aaron Rome should not have been suspended for his hit on Nathan Horton. Scott Stevens made a living off of these hits so why can't these same hits happen today?

if it was the boooostins jerks giving the hit ,, it would have been a perfect hit ,, with no suspension but seeing the NHL big dogs hate the canucks they will get suspensions ,, and when the booostin player runs mason into the boards ,, not even a freakin penalty ,,

i am a bruins fan and i have to say this is a clean hit even you can say a little late but the hit itself is clean. this is why the rule "look where you skate and keep your hed UP" came.

Rome left the ice, Stevens didn't, don't even bother trying to argue this, its clear as day. I don't care who you're a fan of.

@shattertheearth no sir, horton turned his body to the right side but he still had his eyes on the puck. rome was there no attacking on hortons head, hard hit but clean, it's hockey no volley ball!

[shattertheearth]

@argemy The hit was late and was a blindside hit at that. It was in NO WAY a clean hit.

[VELDMAN31]

Ya it's because of the injury folowing the hit

[NessMencesal]

Both hits were dirty.

With Kariya though, we didn't know as much about concussions as we do today.

It's only been 9 years, but we've learned a lot.

@macattack2251 How has that have anything to do with intelligence? Malice if anything. However, yes, some deserve to get a reality check. Take Pronger for one, a little too late though.

[macattack2251]

@ahilmeros you hope more players get injured? holy shit your fucking stupid. I don't want to ever see someone get hurt

[macattack2251]

this is NOT clean. He hit him in the head with his shoulder and he left his feet. Also maybe a little late but w.e he was finishing his check

@treerunner1 Exactly, some people are just fucking stupid.
