Yes, Jarkko Rutuu is a complete asshole and deserves to someday be on the receiving end of those elbows to the head that he likes to dish out but Ranger fans, please stop crying about what took place last night in the shootout against the Senators. If you missed it, I will recap. Jarkko Ruutu was the second Senator to take a try in the skills competition the NHL likes to use to decide games. The puck floated off the end of Rutuu's stick as he approached the net. Rutuu chased the puck and then fired it from a bad angle at goalie Henrik Lundqvist. Well guess what Ranger fans, it was completely legal.
According to the rules of the NHL, when Rutuu lost the puck off his stickand it wasn't considered a shot. Therefore, the puck is live until it comes to a complete stop or the puck completely crosses the goal line. Rutuu never stopped his forward progress, allowing him to legal fire a shot at the net. So all you Ranger fans that have been crying over the Rutuu, calm down.
If you didn't see it, this is the shootout between the two teams. Rutuu gets the puck around 1:40 into the video.
