Tuomo Ruutu hit vs. Latvia

http://www.yourfilelink.com/get.php?fid=99194

5+game, thanks to ridiculous IIHF rules.

Ruutu brothers simply pwned Latvians during that shift.

SWEET! :yo:

Ruutu Brothers Rocks!

5+game is a joke and that was given by a canadian ref...

Next time that latvian will remember to keep his head up.

You are blind. Redlihs didn't see him. he managed only to turn his head. He deserved every min of that penalty. I hope he got a good lesson. That was Ruutu's intention to hit him.

I just felt bad for the poor Latvian guy who got caught under the train.

Is it T.Ruutu's problem that Redlihs is blind? He ducked at the wrong time and got Redlips. Sorry, that's hockey, you have to be awake all the time and especially when there is a player on the ice with surname Ruutu on his back.

I think the 5+game was not so much becouse of the hit itself, but rather injury latvian player got. There was scar and obviously blood after it, so its not that shocking to see such a harsh penalty.

Oh, I can't WAIT until next year :D

Beee-a-utiful

That was Ruutu's intention to hit him.

Of course it was Ruutu's intention to hit him! But it obviously wasn't Ruutu's intention to hurt him. Too bad Redhlihs ducked and that's why he got hit to his head. That's hockey, all the players should know that if you don't keep your head up, you might get ran over. If you have decided to give a hit, you cannot back it down anymore if your opponent decides to duck, the situation comes just too fast to react anymore.

Are you kidding me, 5+ games???

I guess that means Tuomo is basically done for this tournament.

Anybody got a clip of this hit? Was it as bad as Jarkko's hit on Jagr?

This is exactly what we are protesting about.
Unless you're prepared, don't step in the box.

Scroll to the first msg of the thread. :biglaugh: :yo: :D

Just look at the first post.

EDIT: Caz, you were faster... And yes, I think it was clean hit as was Jarkko's hit on Jagr.

there's a link in the first post in this thread.

He means 5 minutes plus a game misconduct

Yeah they punished Ruutu for the result, not the action itself. Hit was clean, but the guy just ducked and was so low that he got hit in the head. Ruutu noticed this and managed to avoid hitting him at full force, but it still looked bad. Great hit though, and very bad ref decision. I'm glad that the guy did not get injured, he lost his balance and was watching the puck, maybe that will teach him to keep his head up.

He means 5 minutes plus a game misconduct

Jeez, I just realized that myself. Thanks, I'm okay now.
Tuomo's a machine... But should he be playing this way when he just got off a serious injury? Methinks he should take it a bit easier and focus on scoring some goals and setting up plays instead of smashing players through the boards.

You are blind. Redlihs didn't see him. he managed only to turn his head. He deserved every min of that penalty. I hope he got a good lesson. That was Ruutu's intention to hit him.

First rule of hockey is to keep your head up. Ruutu had his hands down, this guy turtled and paid the price. 5+20 was a joke.

... and was watching the puck, maybe that will teach him to keep his head up.

Skating one way and watching another.
A classic moment for a bomber.
Like asking for it.

Didn't Ruutu hitted the guy with his stick? Watch again carefully.

Didn't Ruutu hitted the guy with his stick? Watch again carefully.

Ruutu kept his stick and hands to his hip level, so if the stick hit the guy, that guy should really blame himself for it, not Ruutu. What was he supposed to do? Drop his stick when the guy was so low?

One thing though, just before the hit Ruutu jumped and thats illegal, especialy on an open ice.

When I saw people complaining about "Ruutu's cheap hit" in the GDT I just assumed it was Jarkko. :biglaugh:

Is almost everyone here blind? He brought his stick up into the players face, which is why he was left bloodied on the ice. Great call by the ref.

And he didnt get a 5+ game suspension, he got 5 minutes and a game misconduct.

Is almost everyone here blind? Fortunately we have you to tell us what really happened.

No way, clean hit, he came up do to the momentum of the hit, he technically hit with the elbow, but the elbow was pinned up against the body, and the guy was playing the puck.

I agree

Honestly, I don't think he knows how to play any other way :D

In one of the first games he came back from this year after his first injury, he demolished Marcus Nilson of the Flames... we never thought he'd be looking to pound someone so soon off of an injury, but he he seems to enjoy it

Its good to see you have no idea what the rules of hockey are.

It wasn't a clean hit. It was charging and 2+2 at the most imo. 5+20 is too much imho. Tuomo came fast to hit the latvian player who ducked and that's why Tuomo hit him slightly to the head. Tuomo kept his hand to his body and didn't lift them. He did jump and thus a charging call and another minor for the slight injury. That would have been my call if I would be the ref. I think my opinion would be the same if, let's throw this one from the back of my head, Astashenko hit Peltonen.

Is almost everyone here blind? He brought his stick up into the players face.

Slow motion is a great tool. Use it. On the last replay of the hit in this clip, Ruutu's right glove hand is just below the player's chin. And he hit him more with the front of his body than the side or the elbow. If the stick caught the Latvian player in the face, I'd say it was Ruutu's momentum coupled with the other guy's body position that made the hit look very dirty. It's a risky hit by Ruutu, but also a bad position for the Latvian player to put himself into.

Would you be kind enough to explain
the rules of hockey. Please use the pics
above to help me understand.

A glove doesnt cut a player open.


You want to see a clean big hit

http://svt.se/svt/road/Classic/shared/mediacenter/index.jsp?d=49092&a=559115

Arms kept low, doesn't bring the stick up, and doesn't jump 2 feet in the air.

There are some slomo pics on this page

what stage the feet are in the air.

Have a Lofbergs Lila and chill :)

Neither does a hit if you take it properly. But i guess they don't teach it in Latvia. Or Sweden.

Jesus christ, have you ever played hockey?? Those gloves can EASILY cut open your face.

Just like you whined about the hit against Jagr, you're doing the same thing here. You lost back then and you really have no case here either.

Forearm/glove to the face thanks to the Latvian player who had just went low.

You have the slow-mo and pictures here, use them yourself.

the whole Ruutu family is a disgrace

Hes well on his way up in the air before landing the hit.

Swedes play a pansy style of hockey so this whining comes as no surprise.

Helmets cut people. Even during big clean hits, which I'm not suggesting this is. I'm saying he didn't bring his stick up into the guy's face, which is what you originally said.

A glove doen't easily cut your face open :biglaugh: :biglaugh:

And thanks for proving the hit was illegal...since when can you get you hands up into your opponents face when hitting him? Good job contradicting yourself. :rolleyes:

Talk about never playing hockey, basic rules bud, learn them.

Again, total BS! His skates went airborne AFTER the contact, before it he had atleast one skate on the ice.

Um, he didnt even hit him yet in that picture. Just give it up.

Like I told you earlier, go play some hockey with NHL equipment. Come back when you have done so. You have absolutely ZERO idea what you're talking about.

And thanks for proving the hit was illegil...since when can you get you hands up into your opponents face when hitting him? Good job contradicting yourself. :rolleyes:

Jesus christ you're so lost here it's not even funny. LOOK WHERE RUUTU'S HANDS ARE! I'll tell you, they are just above the waist-line.

Hey it's ok not to like Ruutus but come on, don't humiliate yourself like that.

Um, he didnt even hit him yet in that picture. Just give it up, your making a fool outta yourself.

Have a look at the second pic in your
own series. There still a skate on the
ice, right? That was after your last pic.

Hmm? What does that tell you?

You can also look at the same pic and
see where the hands and elbows are.

Now, what parts of the two bodies touch?
Elementary, dear Watson.

Um, he didnt even hit him yet in that picture. Just give it up.

No, you give up your futile attempt to make Ruutu look like a criminal. You have zero case here.

ps. that pic is nanoseconds before the contact. You figure out the rest.

by the way...

wouldnt it be totally stupid to check like this unless you werent out to check with your stick?

i mean just check his position, ruutu had all the time to set himself in a position he wont get hurt when checking the player, if redlih´s head was a little higher he wouldve destroyed tuomo ruutus chin with his helmet because hed have been in a very vulnerable position, and im sure he was aware of that.
he went headhunting.. just like his fellow lowlife brother jarkko ******* ruutu.

checks are awesome, having no respect for the game of hockey is a disgrace.

campbell,richards > ruutu jerks

Is almost everyone here blind? He brought his stick up into the players face, which is why he was left bloodied on the ice. Great call by the ref.

And he didnt get a 5+ game suspension, he got 5 minutes and a game misconduct.

Yeah, what to expect from finns. A cross check to the face and 10 of 'em sing up to praise him. I think fans of 30 teams in the NHL and 15 nations in the WCH would call that hit what it was. A small d-i-c-k hit by a chicken player against a B-nation in hockey. :shakehead

Naa, he is soo tough, he leveled a latvian. Wooow. Hyvää soumi! Hyvää Ruutu brothers! :clap:

And looking at those pictures, you are saying he brought his hands UP to the head? Have you lost your glasses mate?

Well it didn't long for the swedes to appear here, how predictable. A clean hit by NHL-standards and we have the friends of no-contact hockey here whining like women.

Just like the hit against Jagr in olympics where all the swedes and rangers fans were whining 24/7 until even they had to shut up when 90% of the hockey world ruled the hit clean, including RAngers expert commentator JD.

And looking at those pictures, you are saying he brought his hands UP to the head? Have you lost your glasses mate?


Where were Ruutus hand to start, now where did they end up?

Yea AND LOOK WHERE RUUTU IS, 5 FEET IN THE AIR! Give it up bud, your clueless!

:biglaugh:

I rest my case here.

Hint: it doesn't matter how high his feet are AFTER the hit, it's the position of his feet during the CONTACT that counts.

But I feel it's pretty useless to try explaining even the basics to you.

:biglaugh:

Says the man who brought the pics himself.
I suppose if a guys name is Ruutu, he has to
learn to skate with his hands as low as his knees. :shakehead

Now, suppose I'm ignorant about hockey
and you explain me the rules of a hit.
I'm eager to learn.

EDIT:typo

by the way...

i mean just check his position, ruutu had all the time to set himself in a position he wont get hurt when checking the player.

I don't think there's a question that Ruutu went into the corner looking to make a big hit, but at the same time, I don't think he anticipated redlih to cut up ice like he did. At that point, it was probably 'try to make a solid hit' or 'jump out of the way' (which is a good way to get yourself injured). Body positioning in this case probably wasn't preconceived.

Your so clueless to what your talking about that im not even going to bother trying to explain rules to you.

It would help if you knew the rules before you even attempt to explain rules to anyone. It's painfully obvious that you just don't know what you're talking about.

Ya, keep telling urself that bud if it helps you sleep.

Yea AND LOOK WHERE RUUTU IS, 5 FEET IN THE AIR! Give it up bud, your clueless!


:biglaugh: :biglaugh: :biglaugh:

How clueless can a person be.

5 feet = ~1.5 metres

Although they will tell you this stuff in elementary school so all hope is not lost.

Yea AND LOOK WHERE RUUTU IS, 5 FEET IN THE AIR! Give it up bud, your clueless!

It's Ruutu's momentum that makes him look like a running back diving for the endzone when the hit occurs.

:biglaugh: :biglaugh: :biglaugh:
How clueless can a person be.


Quite.

Lost, like on the island? :shakehead

Ya, keep telling urself that bud if it helps you sleep.

How badly you really want to humiliate yourself here?? You went from hitting with stick to flying elbow to high hit to jumping before the hit, all proved wrong by your own 'evidence'.

Seriously dude, you lost this one just like you lost the case against Ruutu in Torino.

Yea AND LOOK WHERE RUUTU IS, 5 FEET IN THE AIR! Give it up bud, your clueless!
What a surprise... the Rangers fans are the only ones with their panties up in a bunch... hmmmmmmmmmm.

I think before you use the word "clueless" again you should:

A) Look at the 56 second mark of the clip. Ruutu's skate is clearly on the ice.

B) Go to your local used sportings good store and buy a relatively new pair of gloves or just one if the guy wants to cut you a deal. Put it on and punch yourself in the face.

Great still photo evidence. That should conclude it is a clean hit. Arms down, no jumping before the impact. Thanks for the links, should bring an end to all this "dirty" crap.

Yeah, what to expect from finns. A cross check to the face and 10 of 'em sing up to praise him. I think fans of 30 teams in the NHL and 15 nations in the WCH would call that hit what it was. A small d-i-c-k hit by a chicken player against a B-nation in hockey. :shakehead

Naa, he is soo tough, he leveled a latvian. Wooow. Hyvää soumi! Hyvää Ruutu brothers! :clap:

Ruutu was already lining up for the hit before the Latvian guy turned and turtled. The fact that it hit the guys head was mostly bad luck. If you call that a cross-check to the face you don't know what the hell you're talking about.

Ya, keep telling urself that bud if it helps you sleep.

No they are right. You are obviously totally clueless about the rules. PLEASE learn them before you post again. It is SAD to see a person first provide conclusive photo evidence and then making himself a ridiculous clown. Your photos say "clean hit" and you say "dirty hit". Which one is wrong? The photos, or your idea of the rules?

Free clue....It's not the photos.

I guess it shouldn't be a surprise that a fan of one of the least physical teams in the league is whining about physical hockey.

I think the expiration date on this one has passed.
