Tuomo Ruutu vs Ron Hainsey

Hainsey threw a few but tough time to land a punch.
He lost his grip of Ruutu and Ruutu got him down throwing a good.-looking punch.
But i don't think he landed it.
A draw.

Hugfest, but I give the edge to Hainsey because he did throw a couple of shots that were not answered by Ruutu.

Give me a break there wasn't a punch landed. A school yard shoving match at best. You need to find a way to stop family members from voting!

Weak. I give Hainsey the slight edge only because he hopped in for a team mate. shows some class. i like the hit from Ruutu.

Hainsey isn't really a fighter, but he manhandled Ruutu after a cheap hit on a teammate.

classic dirty check from a Fin. I play against them all the time... not really a fight but as a hawks fan.... Ruutu smoked em. haha go hawks!

I'm a big fan of Ruutu, I love the way he plays and what he does. But that was a dirty hit leaving his feet and hitting Klesla when he was vulnerable (payback for the knee on knee hit last year?), so kudos to Hainsey for standing up for his teammate and trying to give his team a boost. That said, a hugfest, Hainsey got more punches, Ruutu got the takedown. Draw

man both could not find there way out of a we paper sack.!!! I know Tuomo can fight. He racked it up in the SEL. but in the NHL he LACKS.... he more like his older brother Christian. Except the middle child has more Potential than both Jarkko and Chris.

not much of a fight. only a couple of punches thrown at all with a take down at the end. wasn't much of a check to fight over though. it was a bit high and he left his feet but you see a couple of hits like that everygame. it wasn't even all that hard of a hit. he hardly even tooched him.

Ruutu throws the only punches and gets the takedown. Decision Ruutu.

Hainsey was slammed into the boards when Ruutu blindsided him (charged). Then to stand to to toe and outmuscle Ruutu, he gets the nod here. Not much of a fight, just a strong man match....hugging and slinging to the ground. Have to hand it to Hainsey!

if i were in columbus, i would ask for my money back. And a nice a$$ patting by the ref at the end

Anytime someone in the Ruutu family gets socked I'm a happy guy. Good job Hainsey.

another hugfest...

A fin with a cheap hit? F- everyone in the butt who hates Tuomo, he is the man and he is a missle on the ice. He does not care who he hits, he has no fear. He is not a fighter, he was challenged and he answered the call. The 3rd time he has done so this year.
