Mathew Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 His knee is f***ed, he'll miss the season, knee on knee check in Finnish elite league. I'm sure there are better article but this is the only one I bothered to read. Link to tsn.ca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 Thought I read somewhere that the injury's not quite as bad as they originally feared, but maybe I'm wrong. The guy seems like a good player, but a flake. Not as bad as Theo, though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurcieOne Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 i just found out that he has a knee injury. any more news on this?

Mathew Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 He plays like Peter Forsberg in the sence that he is a big Euro, who doesn't shy away from contact, very rare indeed. He is arguably the best player outside the NHL, but he hasn't dominated the Finnish Elite League yet offensively, since he's only 19, he's got 26pts in 29 games a vast improvement from his 23 pts in 51 games last year. He is something to look forward to, but isn't the sure fire all star that some seem to believe yet. He will have Peter Forsberg two way play regardless, but his offense will depend on how he does on NHL size players and rink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BridgeportHeather Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 Ruutu will provide the Hawks with physicality, which is something they desperately need! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
