“Two factors were considered in reaching this decision,” Mike Murphy, president of the league’s senior vice of hockey operations, said in a statement. “They suffer from Rome was clearly beyond what is acceptable versus what time it was made after Horton had released the puck, and it caused significant damage.”
Rome and his agent is considering appealing the suspension, a source confirmed to ESPN.com on Tuesday.
The 26-year-old Horton, right in front of Boston, was shot down, hitting his head on the ice and stay down for several minutes while medical personnel attended to him.

Murphy declined to say exactly what they discussed and Rome, but during the hearing “(Rome) said it was a hockey game, a hockey game gone wrong. These are my words, not theirs, but that’s basically what he said. It was a play in one on one. The album was released, and went ahead successfully. ”

“It feels good, feels much better,” said Lucic, who turned 23 on Tuesday. “He sent me a birthday wish, so it’s good, you remembered my birthday, after a concussion.”
If the Stanley Cup is awarded before Game 7 of the NHL said in Rome that the suspension be delayed until next season.
