Steve Downie vs Jarkko 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.

Downie gets Rutuu into it, then runs away after he's had enough. 'nough said.

Downie had a good flurry at the end that made the fight look more like a draw, but because he walked away like a puss I'm giving it to Ruutu. Ruutu outlasted him, and throwing in the towel is equal to a loss.

I see lots of Flyer haters ....Downie with the victory....i thought the end was funny.....Quick question...i dont know if any of you were ever in a hockey fight...when you both have ahold of each others jersey ...if i was to let go wouldnt the other guy still have my jersey..i think so...so when downie let go tuuti fruuti also let go.....end of fight....

Downie didn't get in anything besides a couple of openly light dollar store haymakers over a minute in, then he ran away like a sissy.

Ruutu with the win.

Downie was scared and ran from Ruutu.

Downie scated away from Ruutu like a little girl, afraid he was going to get his butt kicked...very disappointing. Just adds to Ruutu's mistique as a pretty good fighter.

Another fight for Downie with the visor, at least this time it was removed. The late flurry by Downie doesn't erase the work by Rutuu early, especailly since Downie decided to pull away. Not a great fight.

close scrap, i give it a draw. as for downie skating away, did anyone here see ruutu chase him down? nah, he was as dead tired as downie and the fight was OVER.

I'm giving a slight edge to Ruutu because he controlled the fight nicely according to his plan...could've given it a draw. I liked the tired rights Downie snuck in at the end before seperating.

what was that???? never seen anyone walked away like that.

Downie is a joke. He'll blindside guys with hits to the head and he'll give cheap shots all over the ice. Now it's time to fight.....let go and skate away. Dumbass.

Pretty good bout.

Downie did a good job battling for most of the fight and taking the hits from Ruutu before gettin his few shots in at the end. He shouldn't have ended it like that but obviously he was exhausted and it was ballsy enough to take on Ruutu in the first place when he was that tired. If he was such a puss he wouldn't have dropped 'em in the first place.
