I think that Rome saw Horton with his head down and went to lay him out. I do not think it was a deliberate intent to injure but it was dirty in the fact that it was quite late. Taking the following into account:
1. Purposeful late hit that ended up to the head.
2. No intent to injure. Rome kept his shoulder in tight and the elbow did not fly.
3. Rome's status as a non-elite player.
I think he gets 1-2 games. But...I have been way off on some of these disciplinary hearings. It seems that the letter of the law still varies by player.
Most importantly of course...is that Horton makes a full recovery. I hope we are not looking at a Marc Savard / Patrice Bergeron / Sidney Crosby type of event.
