The Bruins told Vancouver that they won't go down that easily Monday night. If Vancouver thinks that we are just another weak team that will fall, think again. Sadly in the opening minutes in the first period Nathan Horton (Boston) passed the puck just before getting hit by Vancouver's Aaron Rome. Rome left his feet, slamming into Horton who went to the ice. Horton's head bounced off the ice and his right arm reached up into space. The line judge skated over calling for medics. Horton was taken from the ice on a stretcher with a neck brace. He was rushed to the hospital with a severe concussion. Later in the game a notification flashed on the scoreboard that Horton was awake and had feeling in his arms and legs. The whole staduim stood and applauded, even the Vancouver fans. Boston went on to win with a wicked awesome performance by the offense, scoring 8 goals. Horton is out for the rest of the play-offs and the NHL has suspend Rome for four games, the rest of the season.
In football news...the first Steeler to rush over 1,000 yards has died. John Henry Johnson, 81, died June 3 of an undisclosed reason.
If they had not suspended Rome, he might not have survived long tonight on the ice.
ReplyDeleteNope. Maybe one period at the most.
