it was a cheap shot by Kuntz but Ruutu deserved a smack or two for the high stick on McDonald. Anybody comparing this to the Bertuzzi incident must be Hawks fan.

kunitz is a piece of crap

First...I think Anyone named Ruutu is a cheap shot artist (see other Fin jerk in the East). Still, he got ambushed. If you're gonna fight, then drop them clean. Don't jump him.

I'm not sure who would have won, but Ruutu didn't stand a chance. BTW, someone else said it....Blackhawks showed NO unity there. Maybe they don't like Jarko...I mean Tuomo either.

What a cheap shot by Kunitz. He should change his name from Kunt to *****.

Ruutu is a toilet bug.

When is the NHL going to wake up and start suspending guys like Ruutu, Hollweg, Avery, et al for being the chickenshyt losers that they are?

Those players are the one's with no respect given or earned and is why the NHL needs to ditch the instigator now and forever because guys like this Finnish piece of trash would stop doing stuff like that. Props to ANYONE who jumps Ruutu, Hollwegworm, or Avery or anyone like them.

This wasn't even a fight. Ruutu just got a beating after cheap shotting another player.

ruutu was not waisting time with kunitz

Sloppy stick, but the hit wasn't that bad. I agree the announcers are morons, but the check was fine, MacDonald's not a superstar that you can't hit! this is hockey ladies, kunitz deserves a suspension, he must be a bertuzzi fan.

LMAO! at all the Blackhawk fans talking smack. Just admit that you guys got it handed to you buy a tough team. Yeah I am a ducks fan, and you can call me a homer... Regardless, Ruutu was taking cheap shots and got called on it by Kunitz. So yeah... live with it

Another example of why the instigator penalty should be scrapped or reduced. It would have been embarassing if nobody on the Ducks slugged Ruutuu after the high stick.

If they square off RUUTU kills Kunitz no if ands or buts. Kunitz HAD to jump him for his own safety!!!!

Go, Kuny!!! Chris isn't a fighter, per se, but what the Chi Homers call "throwing the body around" was Ruutu doing a backhand wrister off AndyMac's face.
The zebra's were going to call it, but Kuny made the right choice, 'cause the intent to injure only got a minor. The misconduct was on the extreme edge of reasonable, considering the Matcher that they were going to let slide by with 2 minutes. You'd think after Simon..... but I guess Ruutu didn't have enough time to shift his stick properly, and just destroyed the visor.

Kunitz NEVER dropped his gloves. He was attacked.
