Tuomo Ruutu hit vs. Latvia

[Jysk]

Is almost everyone here blind? He brought his stick up into the players face, which is why he was left bloodied on the ice. Great call by the ref.

And he didnt get a 5+ game suspension, he got 5 minutes and a game misconduct.

I agree

 

[Teemu]

Jeez, I just realized that myself. Thanks, I'm okay now.
Tuomo's a machine... But should he be playing this way when he just got off a serious injury? Methinks he should take it a bit easier and focus on scoring some goals and setting up plays instead of smashing players through the boards.

Honestly, I don't think he knows how to play any other way

In one of the first games he came back from this year after his first injury, he demolished Marcus Nilson of the Flames... we never thought he'd be looking to pound someone so soon off of an injury, but he he seems to enjoy it

Clean or Not?

You are blind. Redlihs didn't see him. he managed only to turn his head. He deserved every min of that penalty. I hope he got a good lesson. That was Ruutu's intention to hit him.

Its good to see you have no idea what the rules of hockey are.

 

[Padawan]

It wasn't a clean hit. It was charging and 2+2 at the most imo. 5+20 is too much imho. Tuomo came fast to hit the latvian player who ducked and that's why Tuomo hit him slightly to the head. Tuomo kept his hand to his body and didn't lift them. He did jump and thus a charging call and another minor for the slight injury. That would have been my call if I would be the ref. I think my opinion would be the same if, let's throw this one from the back of my head, Astashenko hit Peltonen.

Slow motion is a great tool. Use it. On the last replay of the hit in this clip, Ruutu's right glove hand is just below the player's chin. And he hit him more with the front of his body than the side or the elbow. If the stick caught the Latvian player in the face, I'd say it was Ruutu's momentum coupled with the other guy's body position that made the hit look very dirty. It's a risky hit by Ruutu, but also a bad position for the Latvian player to put himself into.

Would you be kind enough to explain
the rules of hockey. Please use the pics
above to help me understand.

You want to see a clean big hit

http://svt.se/svt/road/Classic/shared/mediacenter/index.jsp?d=49092&a=559115

Arms kept low, doesn't bring the stick up, and doesn't jump 2 feet in the air.

Maybe you should look at the pics too.
And just for a second, forget the name
on the jersey.

There are some slomo pics on this page
posted by yourself. Please explain me at
what stage the feet are in the air.

Have a Lofbergs Lila and chill

Neither does a hit if you take it properly. But i guess they don't teach it in Latvia. Or Sweden.

Jesus christ, have you ever played hockey?? Those gloves can EASILY cut open your face.

Just like you whined about the hit against Jagr, you're doing the same thing here. You lost back then and you really have no case here either.

Forearm/glove to the face thanks to the Latvian player who had just went low.

You have the slow-mo and pictures here, use them yourself.

the whole Ruutu family is a disgrace

Hes well on his way up in the air before landing the hit.

Swedes play a pansy style of hockey so this whining comes as no surprise.

Helmets cut people. Even during big clean hits, which I'm not suggesting this is. I'm saying he didn't bring his stick up into the guy's face, which is what you originally said.

A glove doen't easily cut your face open

And thanks for proving the hit was illegal...since when can you get you hands up into your opponents face when hitting him? Good job contradicting yourself.

Talk about never playing hockey, basic rules bud, learn them.

Again, total BS! His skates went airborne AFTER the contact, before it he had atleast one skate on the ice.

Um, he didnt even hit him yet in that picture. Just give it up.

Like I told you earlier, go play some hockey with NHL equipment. Come back when you have done so. You have absolutely ZERO idea what you're talking about.

Jesus christ you're so lost here it's not even funny. LOOK WHERE RUUTU'S HANDS ARE! I'll tell you, they are just above the waist-line.

Hey it's ok not to like Ruutus but come on, don't humiliate yourself like that.

 

[Caz]

Um, he didnt even hit him yet in that picture. Just give it up, your making a fool outta yourself.

Have a look at the second pic in your
own series. There still a skate on the
ice, right? That was after your last pic.

Hmm? What does that tell you?

You can also look at the same pic and
see where the hands and elbows are.

Now, what parts of the two bodies touch?
Elementary, dear Watson.

 

[Pepper]

No, you give up your futile attempt to make Ruutu look like a criminal. You have zero case here.

ps. that pic is nanoseconds before the contact. You figure out the rest.

 

[MrAlfie]

by the way...

wouldnt it be totally stupid to check like this unless you werent out to check with your stick?

i mean just check his position, ruutu had all the time to set himself in a position he wont get hurt when checking the player, if redlih´s head was a little higher he wouldve destroyed tuomo ruutus chin with his helmet because hed have been in a very vulnerable position, and im sure he was aware of that.
he went headhunting.. just like his fellow lowlife brother jarkko ******* ruutu.

checks are awesome, having no respect for the game of hockey is a disgrace.

campbell,richards > ruutu jerks

Yeah, what to expect from finns. A cross check to the face and 10 of 'em sing up to praise him. I think fans of 30 teams in the NHL and 15 nations in the WCH would call that hit what it was. A small d-i-c-k hit by a chicken player against a B-nation in hockey.

Naa, he is soo tough, he leveled a latvian. Wooow. Hyvää soumi! Hyvää Ruutu brothers!
