I like how Hartnell tried to get a shot in on Ruutu as he skated by. What a douche!

RUUTU Is the MAN. I know alot of people don't like him cuz he is an agitator and gets under your skin all that sh!t. So what, it's what he does. The league will always have one. WIN RUUTU. Nice Strategy. LOL Downie just said, I can't throw no more and skated away. That was kinda funny. HAHA.

Good scrap... I think Ruutu had the edge for most of it, but Downie finished very strong so I have to call it a draw

Flyer Homers UNITE! Lets just look past the fact he bailed like a chicken **** and give it a draw...or Downey the win?

Draw. Ruutu and Downie both got some ok shots in, but nothing special.
Granted, didn't like too much that Downie just turned his back, BUT, come on guys - the fight was over, both guys were tired, plus Ruutu certainly didn't go after him when he let go. EVERYONE loves to hate the Flyers.

WIN DOWNEY!!!

close fight but downey took the beginning and then came back at the end again...

the skating away arguement is BS...the fight was over ruutuu hadn't thrown a punch in 30 seconds...he was waiting for the refs to jump in...

You people are pathetic! You find every excuse to hate the Flyers! Ruutu is a disgusting excuse for a hockey player. He has been a cheap shot in every level he has played in, INCLUDING the international level. Look it up. He cant fight and if you all had half a clue you would notice that he only goes with players smaller then him! Downie held his own, wont he fight and when they were finished they separated. Ruutu was the one the stopped, not Downie. Downie just had to turn a round and skate away, Ruutu didnt throw a punch for the last 30 seconds. You people are total idiots!

hey battle axe:

How about I pummel your face---then after im done walk away. YOu are the winner. According to you.
Have you ever fought? Played hockey. They were both exhausted--and most guys just go down.....downie walked away...doesnt mean he lost.
The fight is won or lost based on a lot of things.

This was a struggle that had no winner.

Downie wins. He was at the end of a shift and still managed to throw some powerful haymakers.

hillarious. downie at the end finally realized that his visor had come off for the first time since he came out of his mother's womb, and then suddenly turned and skated off from the fight to go find it. puke.

Ruutu is a master at wearing people out. Plus, Downie is a homo.

Downie would have won had he stuck around but he showed his Flyer yellow and...well you saw it for yourself.

Downie over Fruit 2. It is a shame that the folks from the inferior city in Pennasylvania (Sh*ttsburgh) can not be objective. Always hating Philly and the Flyers when their city had trouble even supporting the team until Sidney Crosbaby came along.
