Booche Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Umm, that unwarranted elbow for starters?Or the couple of times (that I noticed) him leaving his feet to hit players? And that was just in this one game alone. He is Darcy Tucker in a Sens uniform.He'll get his. I aint worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booche Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 The difference is that Rutuu seemed to want to bust his face/hand and or brain. That in itself is cowardly.2 game suspension for Rutuu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 he 'seemed to want' something to happen? weaksauce.i don't think it warrants a suspension on its own, but in the context of all the headshots lately he'll probably get a game.

Booche Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 When you are throwing your elbow at a guys head like that you know the potential consequences. That's why Habs fans rejoiced when Kovy took a run at Tucker in the manner he did a couple of years ago. Tucker tried to cheap shot him and Kovy retaliated.And Rutuu got 2 games. Deserved.

badams Posted November 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Today I threw an elbow at one of our IT guys. I took him right off his feet as he fell into a pile of used monitors. It's the best feeling I've had since I was drunk Saturday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Ottawa Senators forward Jarkko Ruutu has been suspended two games, without pay by the NHL.The NHL had a disciplinary hearing for Ruutu on Wednesday morning. The incident in question occurred during the third period of Tuesday's game against the Montreal Canadiens. Ruutu delivered an elbow to the head of Maxim Lapierre."(We're) disappointed that it is two games, but obviously the NHL have set a very high standard for a hit like this, that I felt deflected off the shoulder to the head. Especially for a player with no history of suspensions, no history of even being called in front of the league. But we do have to abide by what is called. And obviously going forward we know now that this is the standard for anybody that gets hit in the head area," said general manager Bryan Murray in a release on Wednesday afternoon."Well obviously, it is what it is, and I have to live with it," said Ruutu in a release. "Like I said, I had no intention to do it, but accidents will happen and I'll have to deal with the consequences."Lapierre did not appear to suffer any injury on the play and Ruutu was assessed a two-minute minor for charging, but the infraction did violate at least two tenets of the NHL's policy on hits to the head. One, Ruutu appeared to target Lapierre's head and only made contact with the head. Two, the hit was delivered with an elbow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is being quoted here? Murray or gutless Ruutu? Watched it 4-5 times, what shoulder deflection? Dirt is dirt, and intent should be more penalized than result. Had Laps not gotten up so fast, it would have been more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booche Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 and nobody in a Habs uniform has ever done anything dirty.... Poor deflection. Speaking of which, the Sens should work on that drill in practices if they are going to keep firing so many pucks from the blueline with no one blocking the goalies view.
