seeinred 1,488 Report post Posted May 16, 2008 Russia 1 Finland 0 Yay! Go Russians go! Is it really all because of that Ruutu hit on Jagr or did your hate for the Finns start before that? Just fired SopCast up. Intermission I take it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FinWing 26 Report post Posted May 16, 2008 Yeah. Before that I was actually fan of Jere Lehtinen. Just remember Ruutu is an *******, that is a rare breed among Finnish players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seeinred 1,488 Report post Posted May 16, 2008 Just remember Ruutu is an *******, that is a rare breed among Finnish players. I don't remember, was Ruutu penalized for that hit? Because from what I remember, the only reason it was so bad was because Jagr was bent over. Ruutu and Ville Nieminen are the only Finnish pests I know of (and I like both of them).

Ruutu and Ville Nieminen are the only Finnish pests I know of (and I like both of them). And because A) he wasn't expecting it and B) he wore that old jofa helmet that maybe was protective in 80's style of hockey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The hit doesn't look particularly dirty to me but that aside, Ruutu has a history of questionable hits and playing on the edge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FinRedWing 172 Report post Posted May 16, 2008 (edited) Rough stuff at the end of the 1st or what? Anything interesting? Just a late shot taken by the Russians after the horn had sounded,nothing interesting happened. Talk about effective scoring!

The hit wasn't dirty at all. Ruutu is a bit of a dick though and a pest, but I don't think he is dirty to the point that he does things that potentially seriously hurt people, if that makes any sense. (i.e. he's not like a Downie) Not sure what the big deal is with the hit, looks pretty standard to me, he actually hits him in the mid-section. I think Jagr probably hurt his ribs more than anything or got the wind knocked out of him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seeinred 1,488 Report post Posted May 16, 2008 Good chance by Lepisto. At least the Finns are getting chances, they're bound to put one in soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toby91_ca 620 Report post Posted May 16, 2008 Fedorov appears to be doing quite well in the tournament (stats wise, I haven't seen a single Russia game yet). He has 5 goals and 5 assits, mid-way through the 8th game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
