I think Moreau needs to get his eyes checked. That was clearly a clean hit. But still gotta give Moreau the win when it comes to the fight. But as for judgement, Moreau was a fool.

Clean hit///bad camera work ///draw.

Didn't see much of the fight, but from what I saw Moreau landed the only punches. So, Win Moreau.

ok another clean hit followed by a fight. i got an idea. instead of losing ethan to a 10 min penalty send out that 6-6" macintyre guy and have him paste on of carolinas defenceman. i dunno thats just my opionion. btw moreau with the easiest "W" hes ever gotten.

Clean hit and some hugging. Shame that you can't even hit anymore without getting beaten.
Posted by Towmater on Nov 02, 2008 at 6:13 PM agree disagree
Camera man sucked, Moreau overreacted to a good hit, but maybe thats what the captain needs to do.

Good hit and two seconds wrestling (power winning!?) but who saw a fight??? and real punch

And he quotes - Morrow sure likes jumping the Europeans. I can't believe morrow didn't end up in the corner in the fetal position. - Sasky001
First off Moreau has been in 46 recorded NHL fights and this is the first with a non-North American. I don't know if hockeyfights.com has ever revoked a membership. There must be a ruling for those who make comments without any relevant information.
One possible solution would be for you to go back to High School in Saskatchewan to try and pass spelling and geography. You cannot be a hockey fan and spell his name Morrow. That is unless you thought you were watching Dallas. Geography because you probably think Port Chester is in Finland. You did know Finland is in Europe, it is a start.
Better solution would be for you to find a wheat field and assume the fetal position. I know harvest is over. Go find a ditch.

This was another mugging on a clean hit from Ruutu. Moreau landed a couple i don't think ruutu even got one off.

The fight was to short.

I was at the game and all they show in the video is the tail end of it. Ruutu wins no question. He was throwing rights and lefts rapidly and then Moreau jumped on em.

THE CAPTAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Moreau was going after him for the elbow attempt on Hemsky. The second hit was fine, but a good captain like Moreau isn't going to allow a bum like Ruutu to try and KO Hemsky with an elbow. Win Moreau.

If Ruutu was expecting retaliation for the hit, he probably would have laid or Moreau. I'm sorry, that was ridiculous. Donkinbuck, re-watch the video. Ruutu doesn't line him up and run him from 3/4 of the way across the ice. He is in the nearest faceoff circle when he lines him up and pastes him into the glass. He saw the hit coming and then Ruutu get tagged for a CLEAN HIT. Not to the head, shoulder to the chest. Donkin..Buck up son. It was a clean hit and not deserving of retribution.
