db23 said:Yeah, but he still finishes the game a -2. Again.
psycho_dad said:Now that he reached 20 goals and has been the best rookie for months, people who called him a bust at start of the season can now hang their heads in shame.
Actually, all those people should apologize for wasting our time with those "HE IS A BUST" drivels. Now is your chance
db23 said:Well, he has scored 40 points and is a -31. So there are about two goals scored against him for every one he creates.
But then you guys had to be right sooner or later. After all of the gas about Yakubov, Vorobiev, etc.
psycho_dad said:Well I guess that was some sort of apology. By the way, I am not a hawks fan, and have never been talking about those two guys.

You should brush up on your math skills.db23 said:Well, he has scored 40 points and is a -31. So there are about two goals scored against him for every one he creates.

His math is fine... he just ignores powerplay points. I'm not sure how many Ruutu has, though. Regardless, it isn't like Ruutu is the only player out on the ice on his team (as much as it may look like it sometimes).Sammy said:You should brush up on your math skills.

MaV said:Really? For example today his first goal was on powerplay, so no points for that. That means there was two goals scored on him, for the two he "created"
Ruutu has 17 of his 42 points in PP. You don't see those on the +/-
You would take Komo over Ruutu?db23 said:Actually I always liked Ruutu. I thought he was the second or third best prospect in the 2001 draft behind Kovalchuk and possibly Spezza. I'm just as happy that the Habs took Komisarek though. I don't know that Ruutu can maintain his style for very long without breaking down.
db23 said:Without meaning to deflate Ruutu's accomplishments this season too much, I think a big reason that he and Joni Pitkanen have done so well as rookies in the NHL is that they have both played 3 full seasons in the SM Liga, which is about the equivalent of the AHL. A lot of the other rookies are straight out of junior, college, or possibly have one AHL season behind them. It makes a big difference.
