Ouch Slater. Maybe you should re-think dropping the gloves anytime soon, or at least ask your older brother A.C. for some tips!!

Slater got a couple good shots in but Ruutu with the definite win. I wish he would fight more.

Ruutu sucks...
Posted by pens08 on Dec 17, 2008 at 12:24 PM agree disagree
win ruutu.

ruutu did fight lucic last year when jarko was still with the pens. (he lost)
ruutu had some pretty good fights last year but he is clearly a middleweight.

Ruutu with the win but Slater with the best punch of the tilt.

ruutu with the win in this fight.

Jarkko is brutal, he gets the clear win, but we all know that he only scraps dudes who he knows he"ll beat. Hes a bit like Avery, alot of talking, but very particular about who is opponent is.

Ruutu wins, but I was at the game and that one puch that Slater lands, was a bomb, not sure if it hit face or helmet, but I was about as far as you could get from the fight and still be in the arena and could see rutuu's head snap back..... neil is a p***y, should have gone with one of Atlanta's heavies.

Ruutu easily wins this fight, but I agree with Gunslinger totally on the fact that Ruutu is a spot picker and it seemed most of the Sens were last night....I was at this game and the only time the sens players were ready to fight was when Slater, Perrin, and guys like Havelid were around the net. Neil layed a punishing hit on Little so as soon as Boulton hits the ice Neil backed away from him like 4 times. Ruutu was challenged by Boulton and turned away, and the idiot sens fans were cheering cause Ruutu was "getting in the face" of Valabik. That would be a death wish for him there. Even Heatly was trying to get at Slater, which lead to him being kicked out. Sens sicken me.

big bombs thrown

Ruutu pummeled Slater, but Slater got in a few.

Ruutu
another Beauty
I was hoping he could try what he does when doesn't have Laraque or Neil on his line
Or try fighting bigger guys like Lucic
Could be one of dirtiest rats in the NHL
Coaches need to send their goons after him immediately
That way he doesn't injure your star players

Ok fight...Ruutu won clearly
Posted by tiggs on Dec 19, 2008 at 10:09 PM agree disagree
