This was a great fight....if anything a SLIGHT edge to Ruutu. Nobody can say Ruutu beat the **** out of Tucker, they both traided big bombs and put up a good show!

Very close until Ruutu gets loose at the end. Tucker took all of those face shots well, though. Nice fight.

The only problem with this fight was that Tucker was able to skate off after such a beating.

It's always nice to see Tucker having his ugly face punched.

It's a shame both these guys didn't die in this fight.

Guys, Tucker is 175 lbs soaken wet. Ruutu is a 6'1, 200lb-er. Tucker shows more grit than most for stepping up for his team, tryin to rally something last night. I think its funny how "big" the Pittsburgh announcers made Tucker out to be, when he's one of the smaller guys in the league. Ruutu only fought him to shut his critics up for not fighting. If youre going to throw for the rare occurence that Ruutu does, why pick the one of the smallest Leafs?

Darcy Sucker loses to a Finn! Fartsys career in Toronto is done, he can't score or even beat a Finn. Say good night Sucker.

I agree NoKnuckles, Darcy took a lot, but gave a lot as well, too bad Tucker has this stereotype on him for being one of the leagues worst hated. As far as Ruttu goes, im surprised he even fought, but then again Darcy only weighs 165 lbs. Anyone over 200 hundred, Ruttu would have done his routine " Ninja Turtle " move. Ruttu is the new Ulf Samuelson of the league, cheap shot artist, and Coward of the county award. I call it a draw. Give Darcy a lotta credit, for size difference and not falling down. Scary Eyes? its called grit and heart. :D

Wow one of hell fight on this season.
Very well job by our "lion" J.Ruutu.
Tucker did well, but Ruutu took over middle and late of the fight, although Tucker responded well at the end as they going toe to toe.
A narrow win to J.Ruutu.
I give 10 for fun.

Great Fight !! Would call it a Draw....

Posted by NoKnuckles on Jan 4, 2008 at 11:32 AM agree

I don't see how so many people think Tucker got destroyed... he landed a lot of good shots and Ruutu's face was banged up as well. To me it's a draw, or a slight edge to Ruutu for landing a few more.

As for the retards who think Tucker was eye-gouging... he was trying to get Ruutu's helmet off and couldn't reach because they were tying each other up.

Fight of the year so far.
