what a chicken shyt Downie is. Cue the Monty Python tape: RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY!

Two cheap shot artists go at it in an okay fight. I give the edge to Downie because I am biased(I'm a Flyer fan) but objectively its a draw.

Downie is a pansy. Don't take a man on if you can't finish the fight!

Downie didn't like that Rutuu checked him along the boards. So, he followed Rutuu and challenged him. Both guys were on the ice for 1:01 before the fight. So, it was pretty good that they lasted that long. Downie just can't get the win - quitters never win.

What the heck was that idiot Hartnell trying to do before the fight?

Was expecting more, but didn't get it. Ruutu had the ad early, then Downie late. The refs were going to let them go, then Downie forfeited and walked away.

That has to be one of the oddest endings to a fight I have ever seen.

It was a draw until Downie chickened out. Decision to Ruutu.

Downey forfeited. Ruutu did not. Therefor Ruutu Wins. Jeez, I know some of you people are Philly morons, but this isn't subatomic physics, it's a fight.

Ruutu get the call. Not that great of a bout. Ruutu's style is not my preference, but it is effective. Thumbs up to Downie for being willing to go at the end of his shift.
