and the Canucks miss Jarkko Ruutu.
Think about it, Ruutu last year played every game with heart, gave it his all every shift.
Now some of you may say what he did on Saturday was cowardly ( thought I don't think so seeing as how Ruutu has fought and kicked Rivets ass before)
But hell maybe most important of all it was and he is entertaining which is something I can only say for a handful of Canuck games this year.
Is he overpaid at 1.2 million a year? maybe....but I'd still take that contract and his production over guys like Bulis, Chouinard, Linden, Cooke.

Atleast Ruttu has the balls to fight his own battles! Matt Cooke does not so other people end up paying the price for him not having the physical stature to protect himself or his teamates
I watched the entire Penguin's, Capitals game a few weeks ago and when the score was 3-0 Caps it was Ruttu with 2 huge hits and an impresive forecheck that caused a turnover which Ruttu recovered and through out front to get the Penguins on the board. They eventualy came back to win the game in a shootout. Ruttu had a good fight that he lost later as well.
Yeah don't want any of that! Way to livley and exciting. Its like giving Narcon to a dying junkie, wake 's right up!

curiosity...
your new picture, 'Captain Marvelous'...
Was he "the Captain" with the leather clad, tail gunning, donut puncher Freddie Mercury of 'Queen'? Is that why you have the two pictures together?
Or was Freddie on top?
