GDT: Qf Finland - USA 17:35 CET 02-22-06

[Steve L*]

The US look like amateurs in those white helmets.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Someone needs to break a stick over his head or something.

The guy really deserves to be put as in an extreme amount of pain as possible.

 

[joe_shannon_1983*]

This is an ugly PP thus far. Completely clueless and disorganized.

 

[djtino224]

Ugh...Ruutu.

 

[acr*]

Another pathetic US PP...

 

[RSBPC]

Next time they take a penalty...can we just decline it?

This is hideous.

 

[Mr Brownstone]

USA's passing looks pretty atrocious so far. Calm down, boys.

 

[FinnswissX]

Punk move...good call.

Of course J. Ruutu, they should take him out of the team. He is for nothing, except producing penalties.

 

[ColoradoHockeyFan]

JD is right. Our guys look flat out nervous.

 

[gamera]

Boy is someone going to run Ruutu once the NHL gets back.

someone? how 'bout everyone?

 

[DevilFisch]

It's OK, there's 55 minutes left. Plenty of time to "get it together."

 

[bottleCAPS]

Lets go USA!

 

[Nihilism]

Go Finland!

 

[Hunter Gathers]

I really do wonder if the Finnish coach didn't just tell him to go and hurt people or something like that. The dude is doing just the most Pejorative Slured stuff that you wonder if he was told to do it.

 

[Mr Brownstone]

DiPietro's made a couple of nice saves already. Ruutu's such a hack.

 

[acr*]

I really do wonder if the Finnish coach didn't just tell him to go and hurt people or something like that. The dude is doing just the most Pejorative Slured stuff that you wonder if he was told to do it.

Taking ot Jagr helped their chances tenfold.

 

[gib]

How can Ruutu be that stupid . Those kind of things dosen`t belong to this game.

 

[old kummelweck]

They're just trying to get their PP on the ice by getting the USA to take a retaliation.

 

[joe_shannon_1983*]

Every time Ruutu does something, he laughs about it.

He laughed when he hit Jagr, and he is laughing now.

 

[mr gib]

this should be pretty good - swe and suisse is now a blow out

 

[acr*]

Whew...he deked Ricky out of his pads, but hit the post.

 

[Mr Brownstone]

Any 1 on 1 is going to scare the hell out of me in this game.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Every time Ruutu does something, he laughs about it.

He laughed when he hit Jagr, and he is laughing now.

He just has such a complete lack of respect for anyone. I honestly wouldn't shed a tear if he had some career ending injury. I mean, it'd be like what happened to Marchment, pretty much.

I hate players who play with an attitude like Ruutu does.

 

[Levitate]

Every time Ruutu does something, he laughs about it.

He laughed when he hit Jagr, and he is laughing now.

just curious, has ruutu ever had a serious injury or been cheapshotted like the way he cheap shots other people and gotten injured?

he's been at it awhile now so i dont' really expect any real retaliation against him for his play in the olympics, but it certainly is annoying that some players will go too far over the edge because they know they can get that "freebie" in and other teams won't want to retaliate in the same way and face harsher consequences

By the way for Canadians, CBC is showing this game, so you should switch over from watching the Swedish game on TSN because it's a stinker.
