It's not often that you get to watch a fight where you want both guys to lose.

Ruutu gets the nod, basically because I am disgusted at Downie for starting the fight when the other guy's back was turned, then trying a weak-ass pant grab takedown, then looking for the linesmen to jump in when the surprise attack didn't work. What a puss, he must have been a Flyer once.

Draw... I'm a Lightning fan, and I lost some respect for Downie after watching this. Three things happened. 1) Downie jumped Ruutu and got in a bunch of good licks. 2) Downie couldn't get Ruutu's lid off, and Ruutu capitalized by fighting back to the point of him taking over. 3) Downie acted winded and called the refs... I don't know what started it. I mean, they were chippy the whole game. But, if you're going to jump someone, then KICK THIER ASS... Don't do a little then turtle when the tides turn.

I'd heard bad stuff about Downie, but always dismissed it. Now I'm becoming a believer.

it would be nice to see mother****er Ruutu asskicked. But Downie is not good enough to do it.

Downie jumped Ruutu and when Ruutu got the upper hand he turtled and called the refs, what a bitch. Draw/Slight Win Ruutu.

Downie Syndrome jumped Ruutu, got off several punches and NEVER remotely hurt Ruutu. Why is he in the NHL ??
