another hugfest...
Give me a break there wasn't a punch landed. A school yard shoving match at best. You need to find a way to stop family members from voting!
if i were in columbus, i would ask for my money back. And a nice a$$ patting by the ref at the end
Meh, 2 minutes each for hugging in public.
A fin with a cheap hit? F- everyone in the butt who hates Tuomo, he is the man and he is a missle on the ice. He does not care who he hits, he has no fear. He is not a fighter, he was challenged and he answered the call. The 3rd time he has done so this year.
i call it a draw. hainsey threw more but went down when ruutu was ready to start swinging.
Hainsey threw a few but tough time to land a punch. He lost his grip of Ruutu and Ruutu got him down throwing a good.-looking punch. But i don't think he landed it. A draw.
I'm a big fan of Ruutu, I love the way he plays and what he does. But that was a dirty hit leaving his feet and hitting Klesla when he was vulnerable (payback for the knee on knee hit last year?), so kudos to Hainsey for standing up for his teammate and trying to give his team a boost. That said, a hugfest, Hainsey got more punches, Ruutu got the takedown. Draw
OK apparently Jarkko is the pugislist of the family eh Tuomo!!!! This so called fight made me puke!!! These two guys couldn't fight their way out of a Bingo Hall filled with old bags!!!!!!!!! DEEERAW
I dislike ruutu alot and his brother. I think there somewhat dirty. But i wouldnt give this fight to either player, nothing really came of it but some wrestling and a couple thrown punches but nothing significant. If i had to pick a winner, i would go with Hainsey because he stuck up for a teammate.
not much of a fight. only a couple of punches thrown at all with a take down at the end. wasn't much of a check to fight over though. it was a bit high and he left his feet but you see a couple of hits like that everygame. it wasn't even all that hard of a hit. he hardly even tooched him.
Ruutu throws the only punches and gets the takedown. Decision Ruutu.
Weak. I give Hainsey the slight edge only because he hopped in for a team mate. shows some class. i like the hit from Ruutu.
man both could not find there way out of a we paper sack.!!! I know Tuomo can fight. He racked it up in the SEL. but in the NHL he LACKS.... he more like his older brother Christian. Except the middle child has more Potential than both Jarkko and Chris.
not much of a fight
Hainsey was slammed into the boards when Ruutu blindsided him (charged). Then to stand to to toe and outmuscle Ruutu, he gets the nod here. Not much of a fight, just a strong man match....hugging and slinging to the ground. Have to hand it to Hainsey!
Anytime someone in the Ruutu family gets socked I'm a happy guy. Good job Hainsey.
Hainsey isn't really a fighter, but he manhandled Ruutu after a cheap hit on a teammate.
Hugfest, but I give the edge to Hainsey because he did throw a couple of shots that were not answered by Ruutu.
I love it it when Ruutu gets his ass kicked.
too short...
I hate euro players that they think they are fighters. stick to hockey ok case close.
Tuomo isn't much of a fighter, but he hits everything in sight. At least he drops the gloves, even if he doesn't know how to do anything but hold on.
classic dirty check from a Fin. I play against them all the time... not really a fight but as a hawks fan.... Ruutu smoked em. haha go hawks!
ruttus only punch was to the ice when he went face first,does any one know if he was on ritlin with his brother growing up,or did the brothers have a leaky gas can under their bed.
