Ruutu vs McCarthy Jan 30, 2008

[TheCagedTiger]

Maybe you shouldn't avoid the hit and LEAVE your knee in the way.

[M3rl1nHR]

Ruttu is idiot!

[abpaper]

[VilleVallaton]

Kovalchuk is made of glass. Mccarthy is fucking sissy attacking only from behind. Maybe he likes to take men like that? Shit.

[ismonkotibileet]

Jarkko Ruutu is best !!!!!!

[anazha160]

Just pathetic attacking from the side for nothing.

[perretm]

kukumber is a piece of shit.

[JonasBerninger11]

fuck you!

[TrustYourOwnInstinct]

Kovalchuk, you´re a skilled player, but TAKE THE FUCKING HIT !!

Don´t run away like a sissy. You got injured BECAUSE you tried to avoid the hit.

Go Ruutu !!

[TheExtremenator]

What can I say: Ruutu is agitator You like him or you hate him. It,s that simple but please don,t came here to cry that ruutu is pussy and he hits only a smaller guy. etc. I,m Sick of that.

[CSillyElephant]

@TheExtremenator don't* I'm*

[crazyfinn66]

@TheExtremenator, Ever played hockey...? Don't speak up. Ruutu rules, and u know he didn't do anything wrong here. Grow up and take the hit!

[TheExtremenator]

[crazyfinn66]

@TheExtremenator Tosi on, luulin sinua jonkus jenkki-jätkäks. Sori, tosistaan! Asun itse ruotsissa nin saan kuulla paljon paskaa suomalaisista.

[PMDGpilot737]

Kovalchuk was so scared and ran away thats why he gets hurt! take the eggs out of your pants! jea i maybe write kovalchuk wrong!

[ramblersghost]

atta boy mccarthy

[woodwork]

#1 i grew up with Mac and he's a great guy

#2 he reacted the right way and anyone who knows hockey will agree

#3 he's a 3rd string d man, any chance he has to get in the action and prove himself he'll take, its hockey politics so deal with it.

#4 yes he would kill the people chirping on this thread, he's tough as nails. played with no front teeth for 2 full periods in the World Juniors where he was the Cap.

#5 hocky involves fights, and if you disagree you dont understand the game

[Yrs4ke]

#1 bend over

#2 start licking your balls

#3 start sucking your cock

#4 swallow it

#5 never comment on Ruutu vid again

[buttkick22]

ruutu can't beat anyone unless he has an advantage (going after small guys or guys at the end of their shifts)......his only square off in a fight was against ben ondrus......anytime he fought anyone at the beginning of their shift who was at least semi-tough he lost to.......brooks laiche, rob dimaio, david ling, and he even lost to lucic even though lucic was trying to get to the bench for a line change and already had a broken nose...which is the only reason he tried to fight lucic of course

[weeks630]

lmao

[mikecvet]

ruutus a bird lol

[ibanezrg470]

yo fuck off Yrs4ke we don't need 2 know wot u and ure bitch boyfriend do when yas get in from the bar(#5 never comment on Ruutu vid again )?????.yeah rite lmao)

[Capitals100]

Ruutu fuck

[Ondra1994]

ruutu je hovado

[ripuli24]

Pussy Kovalchuck. Take a hit like a man

[ibanezrg470]

ripul stick 2 watching basketball.

[Ibrahimovic1919]

Ruutu just got nuked by fists xD

[pepsutti]

it was hard tackle and kovalchuk didn't get his foot out of there...MCcarthy litle over reacted...Ruutu is a tough figter but he wasn't ready.. one or another that might hurt

[gdavies4]

is that kovalchuk screaming at 3 secs

[snegovik2bass]

If you want to fight go to the boxing ring or street. If you want to play hockey - play hockey.

And one more: pussies doesn`t play hockey.

[Kurzgan]

Good game McCarthy, need more guys like that.

[hagman96]

kovalchuk is pussy

[crimetime15]

shut up he is not a pussy ruutu got snuffed 8 times ha ha ha ha ha and he got a broken nose by lucic ha ha ha ha he sucks balls

[Bertdog1138]

he could most likely beat your ass sweetheart

[hunterto99]

yes Kovalchucks its A fucking big pussy.

[pensfan787]

it is kolvalchucks fault cuz he moved and he could have takin that hit wut a fag and he is a pussy

[dskate40]

macarthy hit avery like 5 times and avery hit him 0

[Th3Tunn3ttu]

Yes, but Ruutu can't do anything, when he is half out from ice, and someone attacks you from Behind.

[shadowmeist4]

in 0:02-0:007 you can hear Kovulchuk scream

[pontikka10]

xD omfg that was funny

[cowpimp18]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA

[Harvey7878]

Usually you can't tell the difference dip shit, sorry we all don't play in houseleague but I know every player in the NHL can hit someone hard.

[metalcritic81]

Okay, for the last time, players need to stop trying to dodge checks because this is what happens. A clean hit turns into an injury like that because Kovie tried dodging it instead of manning up and taking it.

[Liproll]

Here´s a little different point-of-view; the problem with the Kovalchuks of the league is that they always try to escape from getting hit. Had he been manly enough to just take the hit, he propably would not have gotten injured.

[crimsonmask521]

yo McCarthy's my last name!

[angelytte]

omg. another great vid. thank you so much for uploading this. i just love seeing Ruutu get hit.

[joe111112]

thats my cousin for ya

[faxstax]

ruutu is a bitch for not dropping the mitts.

[Taavi1337]

Like he had a chance to do that?

[Eeriknobola2]

Jarkko Ruutu is the best fighter !!

Jarkko Ruutu on paras tappelija!! Ja tietysti suomalainen !

[QtommyQ]

Stevie Mac THE ENFORCER !! lol The pride of Trail BC.

[rocketby]

so fucking filming! ruutu's leg dont hit the kovalchuk leg

[scumatron]

learn to speak english fag.

[rocketby]

i dont speak... i write

[EAFWRESTLING]

hahaha, great comeback bud!

[limsniff]

He was unlucky eh.. Jarko didn't intend to hurt him and it was no fight

[Slicedthroat]

Kovalchuk mooved away from the hit.. that is so unlucky..

[JustAxu]

oh my god... ruutu didn't even touch him! that is so acting.. "ouch.. my leg.." that is so stupid

[zhesandman]

lol you could hear kovalchuk screaming

[chow4u]

LOVE IT!!!!

Ruutu deserved all of what he got, and more

[gonzo918]

It wasnt a fight but either way mccarthy is at least sticking up for his guy even if kovalchuk got himself hurt on the play

[danmcn12]

Ruutu stuck his new out, cheapshot.

[76681]

CHANGE THE FUCKING HEADLINE,thats not a fight!

[quutio]

this is not a fight

[silentk1ll]

Blue number 17 "hurt" him self. Bullshit he acts look he move allmost 3s after he get hit from Ruutu. What a modder.

[olenongelma]

RUSSIA SUCKS

[Sephirot1994]

mccarthy is a pussy attacking from behind

[05DBass]

he would probably kick your ass, and look again, he hits him in the face first bud. good try though.

[trent232]

Kovalchuk = an actor and a pussy.

[nizzaonparaspaikka]

Kovalchuk is a pussy

[hunterto99]

RUSSIAN DOWN!

[BLuupponen]

Did Ruutu do it on purpose? Don't know. Did Ilya try to move out of the hit? Yes he did. Did their knees collide? Yes they did.

The reason why I commented on this video was because Ilya really does that stupid wining-crying-bullshit. Maybe this was just a bad example of it.RuuuuuuuTuuuuuuuuu! Go Sens!

[BLuupponen]

Ilya KOvalchuk is a on big wining pussy! I can't believe that he drops on to the ice and starts crying. He's a one really talented and skilled sniper. And he is also tough, so why did you start crying? Come on!

[0zachNJDparise9]

it was a knee on knee hit dumbass

[Vilhunen2]

idiot this is not fight

[76681]

This wasn't a fight, Ruutu hit kovalchuk and mccarty became angry at Ruutu, CHANGE THE HEADLINE!!!!

Ruutu is one of the best fighters in NHL.

[ikkunaruutu56]

thats not a fight stupid.

[cockrouch123]

finland is BEST BEST BEST

[hifkfan4ever]

And all Finn hockey players are kings!!! We rule on hockey!!!

[XnightvisionX]

ouch man thats got a hurt. i dont know how it feals because ie never got a knee on knee in hockey before but going at each others knees at full stried i cooled feal there pain. i only got the wind knocked out of me once and thats not a good fealling. :[

[Rocks753]

McCarthy came so quick. If Ruutu could saw him coming, Mccarthy would be dead man.

[0oAccount123o0]

lol Kung Fu fighting played at background

[ahirsh84]

It's up for debate whether or not Ruutu's hit was dirty, but McCarthy won back a lot of respect from me here. He had a very rough first half of the season but showed a lot of emotion here...which is something the Thrashers really lacked all season. I found a direct correlation between his beat down on Ruutu here and his improvement in play. Seemed like he just got better after that.

[jonathanblazer]

Do you call this fight? McCarthy was perhaps fighting, but Ruutu was not. It seems McCarthy don't know when to stop punching. But if Ruutu would even punch McCarthy once, McCarthy would be on the ground. Ruutu is so tough guy.

[sx6db1v5rk2j4ch]

Look at Ruutu that pussy running and hiding.

[0oAccount123o0]

Fuck you mofo you really dont know anything bout fighting I bet your just a sweaty nerd on youtube who says Jarkko sucks at fighting youd be dead if youd say like that to Jarkko

I mean you sx6db1v5rk2j4ch !!!

[dadblair]

cheap shot, and mcCarthy did what your supose to do when someone cheap shots your star player you go after him.

[powellm1k]

interesting... same kinda hit that ended Cam Neely's career.

There was a deliberate attempt to take out his leg.

Kovalchuk was getting clear of the hit and Ruttu stuck his leg out.

Ruutu WILL get his.

[duncamp]

Ruutu is a light heavyweight at best.He crazy glues his helmet to his head, and loves to peel off the other guys helmet, so he won't hurt his little hand.He hasn't fought any real heavyweights like Mcgratton,Brashear,Orr,Boogard­.He leaves that to George Laroque,who is the heavyweght champ.I guess he is learning from the best HAHA!!!!

[spbpigeon]

Ruutu is a dirty player...you can clearly see he angled at kovalchuk and went for the knee.

[SuperHenderson13]

McCarthy would have gotten the crap beat out of him if ruutu was ready. McCarthy just pretends to be tough and fights a guy that was barely ready.

McCarthy= idiot

[dadblair]

ruutu is the idot and a cheap shot player.

[SuperHenderson13]

plz tell me or direct me to a video where ruutu has given someone a cheap shot? until then shut up. just because he is a great fighter and hard hitter, does not make him a cheap player

[dadblair]

you just watched a cheap shot going for the knee if that was crosby that got hit like that what would you say. and i wont shut up

[SuperHenderson13]

kovy tried to get out of the way. watch it closely, the announcer even said. crosby would have known not to move and just take the hit. and kovy should not have been an idiot and waved at pittsburgh's bench after he scored, that is just plain classless.

[GoPensGo377]

kovalchucks fault, dodging a check. GO PENS!

[st0lpe]

Kovalchuck = pussy

he got caught avoiding a check, own fault...end of story

[KJDrag1]

This isn't a fight, McCarthy asulted him, and Ruutu is the one that got the big penalty, if Ruutu would have hit anyone besides Kovalchuck, he wouldn't have gottent the i think 4 minute penalty it was, it was a terrible call, becuase he really didn't hit him that hard, he just threw him off balance and gravity did the rest

[reaceuk86]

lame typical american shit

[RANKAISIA]

Ouch, much have hurt. You can hear his scream at 00:02. Looks like Ruutu has been made by steel.

[jlim218]

how come thats a kneeling penalty.. he tried to avoid the fair check and he got kneeled on his leg. but i like McCarthy tried to protect his first star of his teammates but that was a cheap fight

[dudelove555]

You're calling people cunts and your name indicates your a ball sucking rump humper? Faggot.

[VILPER11]

lol

[bigjoe686659]

Good Job McCarthy, not the dirtiest hit ever but you gotta protect your star

[kiernan8666]

mcarthy lucku ruutu didnt have a chance to drop the gloves. mcarthy woulda got rocked.

[fexy21]

old school hockey by mccarthy :)

[EnjoiFLiP412]

Doesn't seem to be dirty, could have been avoided though. It shouldnt even have been a panalty. Early reports Kovalchuk will be our for 2 games. But I must say, I hope Crosby was pointing at him from wherever he was.

[spazemunky]

thats like Ruutu's 3rd knee on knee incident. someone on the thrashers should have done the same to Malkin. thats the only way that stuff stops. goons won't do that if they know their guy will be carried off next.

[kritikkal]

I agree. The guy is a pussy goon who knees and then runs or turtles when someone steps up to challenge him. I don't mind the aggressive style but at least back up your actions. One of the leagues few complete cowards.

[smukais]

FUCKIN finnish fag!!

Ruutu is real frozen(as all fins) boy!!

dirty & ugly peace of shit!!

[herminology]

relax

[dudelove555]

Obviously trolling videos to make stupid comments deeznuts. Get outside the trailer and explore the world outside your mobile home park dummy.

[usik13]

рууту гандон

[UnknownSpartan5]

hey, the other day i went to a fight, and ended up seeing a hockey game.

[dyep8nt07]

im not favoring any team here, that was more of an accident.

[Deeznuts5555]

r u blind that aint no fuking knee check...u can see kovalchuk diving away, only that he left his knee behind...own fault...

[johannmichael]

i hope ruutu will get a knee check.

[carmie1818]

This is just one of those things that happens because of the pace of the game. Ruutu is an asshole, but I don't think he intentionally tried to injure Kovalchuk.

Kudos to McCarthy for jumping right in.

[ceehound619]

While I do think itwas a dirty hit.... to give him 5 minutes for fighting is NOT a correct interpretation of the rules... the guy (ruutu) didnt throw a single punch... these officials need to be scrutinized mor3 closely.

[kromaximus33]

Take a hit bitch.

[JWild333]

Agreed, he likely could have prevented the injury if he had taken the hit. It wouldn't have been that big of a hit.

[akwang13]

Ruutu was not trying to injure him. He was going for the check, and when he saw his target move he tried to adjust to still get the hit.  The fact that Kovalchuk's leg getting hit was just bad luck.

[justaddwater1]

You guys act like you've never watched a game before in your life, that's just a natural reaction, when a player sees that his target is trying to get out of the way of a hit yes, they stick out their leg and try and pin the guy so they can in fact deliver the hit, I really don't think he was trying to go out of his way to hit his knee.

[dudelove555]

Right around 1:03 of the video it shows the slow motion of him approaching him. He swivels his leg just enough to get the knee. What a fucking disgrace.

[dudelove555]

Ruutu says on TSN that he just finished the check and didn't change direction. If you watch closely he DOES change the direction of his leg just enough to hit his knee. Ruutu is a retard and should get 5 games for this.

[beatle11]

Knee on Knee. I think he just got him. If it is a knee on knee hit than that can be serious.

[troy43steel]

how is that a fight? kovalchucks such a girl

[SaskatchewanGuy]

damn a girl is better than 9/10's of the league

[justaddwater1]

He didn't have time to drop the gloves, he got "jumped" from behind. I think he proved with Tucker that if someone wants to drop the gloves with him he's ready to go. As far as the hit goes, he was clearly just trying to finish his check, Kovy tried to "elude" as the announcer (not the PENS announcer) points out, but he didn't get his knee out of the way in time. Simple as that.

[drp1zza]

everyone shut up! lol, Yeah Kovy fucked up as he was moving out of the way, but i dont think Ruutu meant to injur him. Because Kovy had the puck when he went to hit him. But McCarthy was upset as fuck when he saw Kovy go down, and you cant blame him for that. and this comes from a Pens fan.

[kuningas7]

YOU GOTTA TAKE THE HIT KOVALCHUK.

[stunterzz]

clean hit

[Alah450]

What a fucking pussy, intentional, glad Mac stood up for Kovy.

[sradss1]

Ruttu is a pansy... He deserved the beating he took... Kovalchuk is dirty too, and was recently suspended for a game, for his illegal hit on Michael Rozsival... But Ruutu has no class and eventually will receive an even bigger beating!

[giftofgod80]

Ruutu is thrown out of the game for that! He completly missed him! And he never threw a punch in the fight! Kovalchuk was trying to get out of the way. It was a clean hit. That is BS. He did not intend to knee him. I hope Kovalchuk misses some games for that. That is what he deserves.

[TheBigBHang]

Ruutuu is a pussy. He can't play hockey, so must resort to dirty play and cheap hits. I expect the NHL will suspend him for 3 games.

There is no longer any place for no skill guys like this in the NHL.

[shane99988]

haha 3 games for nothing, that makes alot of sense. he shouldnt of gotten a 2 minute penalty for that but they give him 5 for fighting and he didnt even drop the gloves and a game misconduct, that is bull shit. is kovalchuk that big of pussy that they need to throw a guy out for trying to lay a clean hit on him?

[Evreitor]

The pussy didn't even drop the gloves? Is there something to be proud of? He should be thrown out of NHL all together!

[Teabagonyou]

Take the hit Kovalchuk!

[GretzkyJr]

It would been clean hit, but if you are a pussy you are a pussy.. Thats what you get Kovalchuck!

[suonikasnakki]

jake on jumala, jake is god

[steinie1837]

perfectly clean

[efugi]

Do u think that mccarthy will beat Ruutu? Ruutu will rip his head off in next game

[pillifjonkan]

Kneeing (maj) - 5 min

[pillifjonkan]

Kneeing (maj) - 5 min

[Lateraaberi]

There was absolutely nothing wrong in that situation. If Ilya hadn't moved a bit he would be injured right now...

It's a shame that Kovalchuk is going to miss many games.

[Oskuonkiva]

Stars like Kovalchuk and Jagr should now remember to keep their head up while Jarkko is on the ice!! It was clean hit for sure!!

[TOPIonParas]

clean

[kamazinsh]

I hope Kovalchuk will beat out Ruutu in next game!!!

[junnari]

can i laugh..kovalchuk beat out ruutu??..never!! it was clean hit..kovlachuk just tried to avoid that hit but did it too late..

[jlim218]

excuse me? lol

haha just a normal tough player could beat out a big tough goon?

thats quite impossible

id say kovalchuk is a pretty good fighter but not against RUUTU

[HERRAJ0HTAJA]

HAHAHA, and did you see Ruutu's expression, he just smiles why the other guy tries punching his back, gotta love him

[dadblair]

why he is a dirty player if crosby got hit like that would that be ok.

[FASlapsi]

Nice hit by Ruutu! In the next game against Atlanta Ruutu should beat the life out of that cheap mccarthy-character.. And I'm sure he will.

[ghollett]

good response by mccarthy

[taallaonjari]

clean hit !!

[Dajjen]

dumbass finn
