flyerrod Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Personally, I thought it was so late and away from the puck that it should have been at least a 5 minute major. Ruutu appears to be trying to steal his brother's penchant for cheap hits. What are the odds of him seeing any discipline for this hit?

jammer2 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 @flyerrod If a star player received a hit like this, a suspension would be automatic. Because it's Downie, the league may look the other way, as sad as that sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
