Kovalchuk

[doulos]

Ruutu is on my list of guys that annoy me, but that probably didn\'t even deserve a penalty let alone the 5 mins etc. That was certainly a reputation call if I ever saw one.

I think you are right Doulos, but hockey fans need someone to slag - just the nature of the beast.

Did he finish a check, or Finnish a check?

Let\'s turn it around: I\'m only working from the replays, but I think Ruutu knew exactly what he was doing, and that, IMO, was an accidental-on-purpose kind of thing.

any update on kovalchuk\'s status for the philly game tomorrow?

From today\'s ramblings:

\"Ilya Kovalchuk is doubtful for tonight\'s contest, even though the team sent down Brett Sterling.\"
