Reagen/other hockey fans, can you help me understand how Tuomo Ruutu of the Canes got a 3 game suspension after the hit on Avalanche's Darcy Tucker - HdnAgnda Oct 26, 09:56 19
- Richards' was clean, Ruutuu's was not - Reagen Oct 26, 10:03 2
  - Directly behind and into the boards is a no, no? I'm not being sarcastic, I really want to understand when I see hits in the future. -- nm - HdnAgnda Oct 26, 10:11 1
    - yes. explicitly ruled out under "boarding". - Reagen Oct 26, 10:14
- Suspensions in the NHL rather random. Ruutu does have a history where Richards is a "clean" player. - AJRimmer Oct 26, 10:02 10
  - I wonder if Richards being the captain has any influence in this matter. -- nm - HdnAgnda Oct 26, 10:04 9
    - captaincies don't mean much in this other than that type of player that makes a lot of dirty hits wouldn't get to be one. -- nm - Reagen Oct 26, 10:05 8

        True. You can shot a guy, but if we can skate off under his own power its ok. -- nm - AJRimmer Oct 26, 10:19
        
        Oh yes, there's a reason the phrase "Colin Campbell Wheel of Justice" was coined, but - Reagen Oct 26, 10:11 4
        
        Man did Booth go down. My wife was shocked when she saw that footage. (Side note. Love watching hockey with my wife and I am going to miss the free - The Legend of Sleepy Hdn Oct 26, 10:16
        
        Actually this wasn't on Campbell. - AJRimmer Oct 26, 10:16 2
        
        I understand that, but if a guy's skating through the middle of the ice with his head down, there's little you can do. -- nm - Reagen Oct 26, 10:18 1
        
        I know its hard but they really have to look at head shots. The will happen but they should take a more NFL like stance on them. -- nm - AJRimmer Oct 26, 10:21
