[kalmankukka]

Think that the guy in the grey hoodie was gonna get some later :)

[LIHAS100]

[wilperi123]

@LIHAS100 no ooppa rehellinen :DD

[dan3377able]

ruttu is asshole!

[roosajarebe]

@dan3377able u're asshole!

[jukkanotukka]

"GO RUUTI" :D

[silentk1ll]

0:10 looks like Mathieu hits wall :D

[LOKISlog7]

Nice dad holding up his son to take in the violence.

[MrJuha82]

Dandenault isn't fighter.

He drops his gloves pretty seldom actually.

Dull fight, no beating by Ruutu but he is NARROW WINNER landing 3-5 early-punches.

Not much action later REALLY.

[TheExtremenator]

Did I saw right did ruutu bite dandenault

[SyNysTerI1999]

RUUTU = BEST :D::D:D

[Nashtak]

If that`s the only thing YOUR best can do to such a weak player as Dandenault, i feel sorry for you.

[evilistbloue]

What a disturbing player this Ruutu! I'm not saying he is not a good player beacause I know he is !!! But, did you see the game between Senator and Montreal ? Ruuty was a mean little brat ! I wanted Kovalev to fight with him. As we knows.. Kovy is not a fighter at al !! I wish I could have a player like Ruutu in Montreal to disturb all the other teams in the league !! (sorry for my english.. i try hard)

[p1esku]

Ruutu is a nice team player dont cry like a baby if he fights against your fayvorite player

[76681]

I think they both where tired

[kdogg15220]

sens suck....ruutuu sucks...GO PENS!!

[Lefty6767]

ruutu is a puss

[KellyR570]

He gives everything for the team. What ever you say, you would love to have him on your team making those dirty plays.

[Pelaaja93]

And annoying other teams players so they will then take penalties =P

[hydr5]

@KellyR570 and keeping my team from every winning a cup by sucking at hockey

[KellyR570]

@hydr5 yeah he is the sole reason for your team sucking donkey balls.. don't make me laugh!

[hydr5]

@KellyR570 ya, case in point Kovalsuck ruined the devils lol

[hunter2981]

@KellyR570 are you seriously proud to say that ur team is a dirty one? ur such a fag

[umpisuoli87]

well u wouldn't say that if he would be on ur team, grow up..

[71connor71]

Atta be Jarkko. 5 or 6 blows to the guys face and zero on him. Let's go Sens!

[Jejee999]

Jeah Ruutu rules!

[Theo814A]

As far as biting he rules.

[jdsmak]

Did that Ruutu fuck try to bite him!!!!!

[citronn12]

"ruutu is the smartest instigator in the league"

That's true!

[sk84sv]

ruutu is the smartest instigator in the league

[RalonzoP]

Nah. Not even close. Hannibal Lecter is a net minus in penalties taken versus penalties drawn.

Clutterbuck in MIN, Lapierre in MTL, Kaleta in BUF, all are much smarter instigators since they have all drawn at least 10 more penalties than they have taken.

[Piakkola]

iff u say jarkko ruutu fuck you go and fight with him lets look who gets ass kicked.

[foofighter099]

i can't wait for the day ruutu gets OWNED

[Qcssipi]

go look lucic vs ruutu

[ulpukkasein]

YOU ARE JOKE

[ShiftStyle]

RUUTU IS A JOKE

[Oaklley]

Fuck you Jarkko is the best finnish player ever!

[ShiftStyle]

ok then fuck me!!!! but we both know he isnt better than jokinen, selanne, or you !!

[unreal103]

too boring, the fight were all about holding the other fighter.

[peeweemcgee]

look at the guy taking pictures in the seats

[NYRPower]

It was a draw. Nobody landed big punches. Boring fight.

[senatorsfan26]

atta boi ruutu :)

[Rgudge]

fuck jarrko rutuu he's a big pussy bitch..picks the smallest dude on the habs, thats just bitch-like.

[con1808]

ruutu has to try and gets something going!!!!!!!he picks on one of the smallest players on the team!!!!twat

[Curtisstewartt]

gay fight

[classicNHLfights]

Ruutu bit his shoulder a couple of times...lol!!!!

[desimobster]

ruutu was trying to bite him

[bigjoe686659]

I actually think you're right here....

[wweecwconway]

I thought so too.

[leb7864]

pussy hug fest

[Onquadrillion]

if ruutu is going to fight he should have fought with a fighter or laraque not a good defenceman like dandenault.

[GoalieFan95]

that sucked

[jaska05]

Damn, Ruutu is strong! Any idea how much he can lift in a weight-room! Alot, I can say that. Probably more than Laraque. BOOM!

[Qcssipi]

says a finland bitch

[brutallyunbiased]

says a quebec fag

[glaxko]

says a complete retard

[motherpucker85]

ruutu won.

[triptych2003]

dandenault lost this one cos he's a tall guy with no reach... at least the sens won something this year. one fight! bite him, jarkko!

[buttkick22]

way to go ruutu, starting a fight with mathieu dandenault......congrats pussy

[pillifjonkan]

Couldnt say it better myself...

What a joke...

[sanukh]

and who dropped the gloves first? that pussy youre talking about seems to win most of his fights. yeah, what a big pussy indeed lol

[buttkick22]

of course he does because he fights nobodys......if he fights anyone remotely tough he waits until they r either hurt or at the end of their shift or both like he did to lucic and still lost....the guy is a wannabe......among players he's the most hated guy in the league former teammates don't even respect the guy because he goes against the code on a weekly basis.......and bites

[sanukh]

"the code"? have you ever played? and if so, have you ever played other bantams or peewees? you dont seem to know what you're talking about, because Jarkko happens to be liked by his old team mates and fans alike. don't let your personal opinion clowd your judgement and talk about things you know nothing about. maybe you should go up against him some time ;)

[buttkick22]

goign after guys at the end of their shift elbowing biting these r just some of the things the guy does......actually he was loved in vancouver but they got rid of him, Y?....because the team was sick of his antics and him never backing it up agaist actualy tough guys........Trevor Linden was a big reason jarkko was traded from the canucks.....he and a few unnamed teamates had a problem with his lack of respect....."There's a difference between being hated and not being respected in this league"

[eightball311]

If Trevor Lindon was the big reason Jarkko was traded, how come they are best friends? And, for the record, Jarkko wasn't traded, never has been. Pittsburgh signed him as a free agent. Get your facts straight before you talk trash on the man.

[buttkick22]

i didnt say he was the biggest reason......i just used an example of a guy who said "there's a difference between a guy who is hated and a guy who isn't respected in the league".....coming from linden who is his friend shows u the type of character ruutu has......he's a cancer and will be bounced around that's my point

[eightball311]

He will be bounced around because he has a talent. Free agents go to the highest bidder. I seriously doubt if Linden said anything. And Cherry? He said the Senators dressed liked thugs! Has that idiot looked in the mirror lately?

[buttkick22]

Nah. Not even close. Hannibal Lecter is a net minus in penalties taken versus penalties drawn.

Clutterbuck in MIN, Lapierre in MTL, Kaleta in BUF, all are much smarter instigators since they have all drawn at least 10 more penalties than they have taken. He doesnt' score nearly enough points to keep getting penalties and suspended. That my friend is not helping out ur team.........happy to educate u

[buttkick22]

direct quote from trevor linden to don cherry look it up

[sanukh]

i have all respect for linden, but as for don cherry... he's a blind old man who dresses like a queer from the renaissance. the opinion of a few team mates is not all the team mates. i admit jarkko does VERY strange things at times, but he's still a VERY valuable asset. only reason he has a spot in the nhl - continuously, and making a good buck. as for lucic - shouldnt play if the broken nose bothers him so much. i'd imagine it bothered the fans more than lucic. i didn't see him whining about it

[buttkick22]

besides ruutu gets supsended ( twice just this year and there's still 20 games to go so who knows) and unlike a lot of agitators he's blaitently dirty and takes too many penalties which hurts his team...i suggest u read what RolonzoP wrote up top...those playersr assets to their teamand do their job correctly...ruutu will be bounced around the league until he returns to europe most likely..if by some miracle the instigator rule is dropped he will be gone sooner, god forbid he fight someone tough

[sanukh]

and btw, linden and jarkko didnt play for the canucks at the same time. linden was gone from vancouver some time late 90's when jarkko came from syracuse in 01 or 02 if i dont remember wrong. so how is linden any sort of team mate who "dislikes" ruutu? linden might be a canuck forever, but he wasnt that much of a player either. certainly no gretzky.

[buttkick22]

ummm no...ruutu played from 02-06 and linden played form 02-08...linden is one of the most beloved canucks and well repected guys to ever play...gritty but honest...that's y he was elected the NHLPA president as soon as he retired...so i guess his statement is to be taken into consideration pal....my point was he jumped lucic who was hurt at the end of his shift.....of course lucic is tough enough to play through a broken nose thats what hockey players do...u dont expect to have to fight with it

[sanukh]

given, i thought linden stayed on his path when he left vancouver. well, at the end of the day i have my opinion of jarkko as i happen to know him from junior years. i'm just sick of people slagging him when people dont seem to realize how hard of a worker he is. on him "not fighting anyone tough" is BS. those guys have a chance to go at him every single shift 80+ games / year. it's not jarkko's fault if those tough guys dont step up. they would if he was as hated as fans from other teams think.

[buttkick22]

ur right he does fight tough guys...when they r at the end of their shift or he has a size advantage..there is not one clip of ruutu squaring off with anyone...he just kinda backs em into a corner and forces them to fight him like he did to robidas...if an enforcer wants to fight him he back down or bites them and if he knows someone semi tough wantes to fight him he purposley goes after someone not as tough to avoid them..mair wanted to fight him so ruutu went out and picked a fight with kaleta

[sanukh]

it's a really small rink. no one, including jarkko, can't avoid someone picking a fight against him until the end of days. he's dropped mike grier and rob blake. they might not be fighters but tough as hell. i guess there's no point in us discussing who is who, time will tell. on the biting incident... you dont shove that pick piece of leather and plastic (thumb) down anyones mouth, painful as hell. stupid thing to do that. biting's one of those "stupid" things. but he also delivers big hits.

[buttkick22]

this all started with u challenging my knowledge of the code.....not about whether ruutu is a good hockey player.....fact is he hurts his teams wiht penalties, old teamates dont like him much, he embarasses his team with his antics, and he is a spot picker when it comes to fights....come on look at mike griers fights i know from him playing in buffalo that he is NOT tought as hell....he throws a flurry puts his head down and wants the fight to be over he's not a good example

[buttkick22]

point is he's dirty so of course people aren't going to like him.....i loved mike peca but he's had more than a few dirty hits same with duston brown and it makes me like them less...ur sticking up for ruutu because ur finish i can admitt when one of my players is dirty or hurts the team or even embarrasses the team...m not challenging his hockey skill im just saying he would be a little less enthusiastic about being cheap and talking if the instigator rule was dropped....he's a wannabe enforcer

[sanukh]

i'm sticking up for jarkko as he happens to be a friend of mine from back since 6 years old, played together until junior B. and i know what kind of man he is. he's simply a smart stand-up guy who will do anything to win. i also admitted that he does VERY strange things at times, but who doesn't in their lives? i don't think jarkko thinks of being any certain type of player. he's out there to play hockey and win by any means necessary, simple as that. embarrassin the team? perhaps an invividual.

[buttkick22]

replace the word strange with dirty and ill agree

[sanukh]

i'll stick with "strange". what are friends for anyways ;)

[jaska05]

Jarkko doesn't seem to be the strongest guy in the league but it really amazes me how he can handle the bigger opponents. Any knowledge about his strenght level, e.g. in a gym?

[sanukh]

i don't have exact numbers on his strength, but i'll you that he is damn strong. EVERY hockey player on that level is, but I'd imagine that his tactic is to wear them down a bit. Let the opponent go nuts and fend off for a bit, then start delivering. How did Ali beat Foreman in Zaire back in the days when Ali just returned and Foreman was the force? Brains. I'd say that Jarkko's biggest asset. That together with power and perseverance and you get Ruutu. Bench 100+ kg and squat c.200? Don't know.

[Vmt16]

@jaska05 He has strenght, he's not the strongest but he knows how to fight and he also talks trash during the fights. And he has a reputation that isnt there for nothing.

[eightball311]

Very well said! He is one of the hardest workest guys in the NHL, and never gives less than 120% It's refreshing to hear someone else stand up for him! ANd he is one of the smartest guys in the league.

[sanukh]

i second that motion ;)

[sanukh]

and another note is that all those guys out there can take care of themselves, fighters or not. i think it's stupid talking about them as if they were being bullied by someone. they aren't afraid to go at it. especially when "ruutu is such a pussy". if he's such a pussy, dont worry about him coming at you. i do agree on stupid penalties though, thats something no one likes to see in their team. but i conclude by saying jarkko has carried his weight for quite a few years already.

[eightball311]

He bites because Ottawa forget to give him his pregame meal. SO does half the league bite! EDUCATE yourself. It's sounds like your the wannabe RUUTU RULES. Deal with it

[buttkick22]

"so does half the league bite".......Educate YOURSElF on proper sentence structure...i dunno where u get the idea that half the NHL has biters in it......and 5 goals and 2 suspensions this year is far from ruling

[ghjkfdhgfd]

wow dandenault fought? ruutu must of pissed him off

[HTFfan111]

Not a good fight, ill give it to ruutu, he's the only one that got any hits off
