anybody who doesn't understand how late and how cheap that hit was is an idiot.
yes as all Canadian kids are taught you should always have your head up and on a swivel and not be admiring the pass you just made BUT that doesn't make Rome's hit any less dirty. And that's why the NHL suspended him.
Players are bigger, stronger and faster - you put the Philadelphia Flyers of the 70s in their prime against an NHL team of today - the score would be 19-2 and Dave Schultz and other Flyers goons would have their lights put out quick by most of the players. Go on Youtube and watch some classic games from the 70s - game was played at such a slower speed and the size of the players much smaller. Most NHL players in the 70s didn't know what a weight room was and for nutrition - beer and steak.
The funny thing is that Canucks fans don't like this Rome guy, he's only playing because of injuries and most Canucks fans would rather have Ballard dressing instead of Rome.
