Video: Scary moments for Darcy Tucker after Ruutu cheap shot
Puck Daddy —
The terms "stretcher" and "Darcy Tucker" probably aren't mutually exclusive in the minds of most hockey fans; only this time it was the Colorado Avalanche winger who was the victim of a cheap shot that left him immobile on the ice in a scary incident Friday night. At 5:26 of the second period in Colorado, Carolina Hurricanes forward Tuomo Ruutu(notes) delivered a check with Tucker's numbers facing him and Tucker's face in front of the glass, having already released the puck. The result? Tucker's body flopped to the ice, the crowd gasped in unison and the drama ...

Tuomo Ruutu Hit On Darcy Tucker
KK Hockey —
Ruutu received 5 minutes for boarding along with a 10 and game misconduct.
from Adrian Dater of All Things Avs,
...it seems like Darcy Tucker escaped potentially catastrophic injury tonight. After being taken from the ice on a stretcher from Tuomo Ruutu’s hit from behind, eyewitnesses said later tonight that Tucker walked out of the Pepsi Center. He was on his way to the hospital for further tests, but Avs personnel told me Tucker appears to have “escaped” with a concussion and stitches to the head.

Tuomo Ruutu Will Drink Your Milkshake! [Nhl]
Deadspin —
Then he will take the glass it was served in and bash you in the face with it. There was a scary moment last night during the Colorado Avalanche-Carolina Hurricanes game when Tuomo Ruutu viciously and recklessly boarded Darcy Tucker. Tucker was taken off the ice on a backboard and Ruutu, who has a history of dirty play, was assessed a five-minute major for boarding and a game misconduct, so he was ejected from the game. After a neck brace was placed around Tucker's neck and he was placed on the backboard, a pool of blood could be seen where he had been laying on the ice for over five minutes. ...
Video - Tuomo Ruutu Boards Darcy Tucker
Bob's Blitz —
Darcy Tucker is hit from behind by Carolina Hurricanes Tuomo Ruutu. Did not know that Tucker has two right arms (1:03 mark). Colorado's website later indicated, "late in the second period it was announced that Tucker had regained consciousness, was fully alert and was sent to the hospital for further evaluation." NHL Rules: 44.1 Checking from Behind – A check from behind is a check delivered on a player who is not aware of the impending hit, therefore unable to protect or defend himself, and contact is made on the back part of the body. When a player intentionally turns his body to create contact with his back, no penalty shall be assessed. 44.3 Major Penalty ...
Tuomo Ruutu Suspended Three Games for Hit on Darcy Tucker; Willsie Recalled
Avs Talk - A Colorado Avalanche Blog —
Tuomo Ruutu has received a three-game suspension for his hit on Darcy Tucker last night. Good. I don't know if I have to add anything more beyond my rant last night, but hopefully Ruutu never does this again to another player. Tucker is out of the hospital and Brian Willsie has been recalled from Lake Erie. I think we'll see T.J. Hensick in the lineup tonight as opposed to Willsie but I think everyone is more curious if Craig Anderson will get the back-to-back starts. A few folks felt Tyler Weiman should have got the call last night against the Hurricanes, saving Anderson for tonights game against the Wings. But maybe ...

On the Beat: Tuomo Ruutu suspended three games; Darcy Tucker at home resting
IllegalCurve.com —
What team beat writers are saying this Saturday afternoon:
Evgeni Artyukhin won’t change his style of play in Anaheim. Why would he? The Ducks acquired him knowing his hard-edge style and clearly want him to play that way–within reason of course.
Tim Thomas is the expected starter for the Bruins today. He didn’t play Thursday, so this is no surprise.
Tuomo Ruutu has been suspended for three games for his hit on Darcy Tucker last night. Should have gotten seven games in my opinion. This hit was clearly ...
Tuomo Ruutu suspened for CFB.
Goon's World —
First off I hate checks from behind and I am not a big Darcy Tucker fan but that check was unnecessary. Tuomo Ruutu has been suspended by the NHL for three games for his check from behind on Darcy Tucker. I think it's even funnier when listening to the TV announcers trying to tell us that Tuomo Ruutu is a hardnosed hockey player, in my opinion he is a hack and a thug. Then the ref rescues him before the Av’s can take a pound of flesh from him. ...

What We Learned: Grading the weekend's dirtiest hits
Puck Daddy —
Hello, this is a feature that will run through the entire season and aims to recap the weekend's events and boils those events down to one admittedly superficial fact or stupid opinion about each team. Feel free to complain about it. We had a whopper of a three-day span for all you dirty hit lovers here in the NHL, as I'm sure you're all aware. However, some hits were dirtier than others, as evidenced by the NHL's decision to suspend Tuomo Ruutu(notes) but not Mike Richards(notes) (Star players! Preferential treatment! Fan ...

850 & 620 THE BLOG —
The way Minnesota’s Cal Clutterbuck score the game-winning overtime goal against the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday encapsulates everything that has plagued the Canes’ first month of season. First off, it was a freakish way to lose. The puck hits the post, bounces off of Clutterbuck’s face, and lands in position to be buried while Cam Ward is scrambling back. Secondly, it showed the type of work necessary for Carolina to be successful. Unfortunately, it’s been the opponents who have been doing the out-working. The Hurricanes are not a high scoring bunch, it’s a given ...

What Constitutes an NHL Suspension?
Hockey From the Cheap Seats —
How many times have you been talking to your friends about stuff going on in the hockey world and heard this argument: “He was given that suspension because of his reputation!” Maybe you’ve heard someone go to the: “there’s no way that would have happened if it was Ovechkin” card. While spinning the NHL’s Wheel of Justice, it’s become apparent that reputation and prior incidents have become a factor when Colin Campbell hands out punishments. But here’s the question that no one is asking: Is that OK?
There were 4 players that were involved in 5 questionable hits over the past weekend (yes, I’m including Friday into ...
