So what?

They said it best...live by the sword, die by the sword.

Gee I hope Ruutu doesn't miss too many games. I guess he was really hurt the way he laid there like a *****.

Someone had to do it.

Someone had to do it.

seriously..

Meszaros blocking a shot with his throat got off the ice quicker than that.

Since apparently you can't wish injury on players I'll just say I hope Ruutu survives.

seriously..

Yea, seriously..

Yea, seriously..

I was agreeing with you. :)

I was agreeing with you. :)

I was agreeing with myself. :sarcasm:

out of anybody, the only other person i'd be glad to see this happen to is Avery.


But Ruutu is just as satisfying :)

So what?

Yeppers.

Poor guy :(

That was pretty predatory. Fedoruk chased him all over the ice.

Ruutu has gotta get up though.

Not like Fedoruk could fight him, he's break his face again.

*bailing after Carkner lands 1 punch isn't a fight.

Don't worry evryone, Ruutu is fine, just doing his job. Drew 4 minutes of PP, not too shabby.

Fedoruk did it cuz Ruutu jumped into a player (Konopka?) in the far end. Fedoruk did his job, Ruutu did his too.

That should tell you something.

All I can say is.... oops! I enjoying seeing this right in front of our seats.

It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

Laying on the ice after being suckerpunched? What a diver :laugh:

It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

He's actually quite the sweetheart off the ice :sarcasm:

ruutu <3

Oh noes! Not the good one!

So what?

They said it best...live by the sword, die by the sword.I go with that Ruutu had this coming the way that he plays.

it was a good week for cheapshotting pukes getting their comeuppance.

Obviously, it's not surprising that Ruutu ate a punch in that situation. He deserved it.

I don't even think we scored on the double powerplay.

Tampa announcers are such homers.

Shocking that two people employed by the Tampa Bay Lightning for Tampa Bay Lightning fans would be biased towards the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Looks good on Ruutu

"Watch in HD" Yes, please :D

Although that was a pretty ridiculous cheap shot.

ouch, that had to hurt

I love it how some people can't stand Ruutu :D And he's actually an extremely cool and calm guy off the ice, a definate team player. And REALLY smart.

Go Jake!

Appalling. :sarcasm:

....and an absolute punk on the ice. I never wish getting hurt in anyone, but Ruutu gets me close.

He got punched in the face with a squishy glove..... get up.

I never get tired of watching guys like Avery, Ruutu, Kaleta and Cooke get there ***** handed to them.

Um, so we should not judge hockey players by how they act in hockey games but rather ignore that and make an opinion of how they are off the ice?

Loved Fridge before and this certainly don't make me love him less.

He hasn't done anything Downie, Cooke or Kaleta esque in almost a year. He was very behaved this year, yet gets **** on everytime he is talked about :laugh:

That tv announcer talking like ruutu is suprised that he was a target of action like that.. Did he mention somewhere, "wow im suprised, i thought that everyone loves me and im good boy like crosby". No he didint say that.. Like in the women business, you cant get, if you dont give.

I love Ruutu. Defenetly one of those guys you love having on your team but hate playing against him.

I wear 73 in hockey cuz of Ruutu

To an extent, yes. It's important to remember that each of these guys plays a role in order to have a career. The difference between the Ruutus and Tuckers of the world and a guy like Sean Avery is that off the ice, the former are absolute class acts and intelligent to boot. Avery can't negotiate the line between what goes on on the ice and real life.

I personally love the way Ruutu plays. He works extremely hard on the ice, is extremely tenacious on the forecheck, chips in with some offense from time to time, hits hard, drops the gloves when necessary (very effectively, I might add), and truly gets under the skin of his opponents. He takes a lot of lumps for his teammates. He does what he needs to do to play a regular shift in the NHL - not too many people on here who wouldn't do the same, I suspect. I know I would.
