John Mitchell vs Jarkko Ruutu

Ruutu gets loose and outpunches Mitchell on each exchange.
Great clean hit.

Kind of a mismatch, as Ruutu is programmed to go for five minutes and Mitchell is Dave Keon reincarnated. But kudos to Mitch for sticking up for Schenn, who must have had a target on his back the entire game.

ruuuuutu

Slight edge to Ruutu

Ruutu gets a nice hit against Schenn, Mitchell responds to the hit and goes downhill for him there. After starting out slowly, Ruutu wins this bout in a convincing way.

ruttu wouldn't go with orr,orr asked him 3 times,but waited for a man 1/2 his size.but thats ruttu the backdoor bandit.

Another example of NHL players trying to eliminate body contact from the game. You want to help Schenn? Tell him to keep his head up next time. Boring.

Good solid fightIf Ruutu gets to fight more, people will be surprised.

slight win for ruttu, the lowest form of scum this side of matt cooke

Mitchell got the instigator because he went after Ruutu. Ruutu win..

Mitchell is an ECHL player - at best - he would be an all-star with bantam A teams for sure - but trying to fight Ruutu, not such a great idea - and I love the announcer "team toughness" because Colton Orr can throw wicked fists gives the rest of the leafs "toughness"? Didn't really work out, eh?

What the hell has happened to the NHL? There is practically no hitting, and if you so hit someone there is a fight? The new NHL sucks! I haven't watched a whole Flyers game yet this year.....................BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG! Way to go Bettman, you ruined everything.

good fight....

Ruutu's gloves were off first but Mitchell gets the instigator. Gotta call bull**** on this one.

Ruutu takes the win. Good on Mitchell for standing up for his teammate, even though he's not a fighter.
