Tuomo Ruutu Nets Hat Trick to Lead Carolina: Hurricanes 5, Stars 3

The Carolina Hurricanes defeated the Dallas Stars by a score of 5 to 3 on Wednesday night at the RBC Center in Raleigh. The Canes jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the opening period, and held on for the win.
Tuomo Ruutu scored a hat trick in the victory, the first of his NHL career. His third goal came with just five seconds left in the game, after Ray Whitney set him up perfectly for an empty netter. It did not come easily though as Whitney tried to set him up for an empty net chance a minute or so earlier, but ended up losing the puck.
The Stars took the puck, attacked the zone, and scored themselves, making the score 4-3. Whitney took a little flak on the bench, but had a better opportunity later on and the Hurricanes ended up with a happy ending, one of the few so far this season.
The Canes jumped out to a 3-0 lead with the help of Jussi Jokinen, who started things off with a powerplay tally on a rush. He received a nice pass from Bryan Rodney, who was just recalled from Albany. Rodney had a very good game and finished with two assists on the night.
Tuomo Ruutu scored his first of the contest just 1:44 later. The Finn backhanded the puck toward the crease, it hit off of Marty Turco, and then went in the net. It was not the best of nights for the Dallas goaltender as that looked like a soft one.
Eric Staal scored goal number three on yet another powerplay when Jussi Jokinen fired a pass across the crease and Staal knocked it in with perfect timing.
Steve Ott put in a powerplay tally for Dallas later in the period and the teams went into the first intermission with the score 3-1.
The second period was a sluggish one for the Canes as Dallas took control. They out-shot the home team 12-4 and scored another goal, this one by Brenden Morrow, making the score, 3-2.
But the Hurricanes came on strong in the third and used a consistent forecheck to keep the Stars hemmed in at their own end. About four minutes in, Ruutu would score his second goal as an apparent pass by the winger bounced in the net off of a Dallas defenseman's skate. Brett Carson earned his first career NHL point on the play.
The Stars would make things interesting when they scored after Whitney's failure to bury the empty netter, but Ruutu closed things out with his "hattie", and the Canes won for just the eighth time this year.
Next up will be the Florida Panthers in Sunrise, Florida on Friday night.
Game Notes:
- The three Finns, or "Three Amigos" were the three stars of the game. Ruutu was first star, Jokinen was second, and Joni Pitkanen, who had two assists and played a solid defensive game, was named the third. Was the news about them possibly opening next year in Europe a factor to their success?
- Whitney could joke about his mistake after the game, but if the Stars would have come back to tie the game and then win after he failed to shoot at the empty net, people would not have been laughing. Still, it's hard to blame someone for being a consummate team player. It's an unselfish act for him to turn away from two chances to score an easy goal so that he could help a teammate get a hat trick. Especially in a contract year! Whitney gets a star in my book.
- The Canes were given credit for 29 hits in the game. Andrew Alberts led the way with five while Tom Kostopoulos and Rod Brind`Amour each had four.
- The fourth line came close to scoring a few times and Brind'Amour had a couple of prime chances. If he keeps getting good chances, you have to believe that the scoring will eventually come.
- The team also had 29 shots on goal led by Ray Whitney with five. Eric Staal and Tuomo Ruutu had four each.
- Staal had a very good game and chipped in with a goal and two assists. He has 13 points in his last 10 games since returning from his injury.
- Carolina had 13 blocked shots. Joni Pitkanen had the most with three. The defenseman led both teams with 27:33 of ice time, which is a bit more settling than over 31 minutes like he had against Ottawa.
- The Hurricanes are now 6-3-1 when leading after two periods. They are 7-2-3 when scoring three goals or more and 1-17-3 when scoring two goals or less.
Here is some video of Tuomo Ruutu in the dressing room after his first career hat trick:

This looked more like the ’canes I expected to see this year. Apart from some bad d zone passing by Samsonov, and some weakness shown by Harrison getting knocked over a few too many times the team looked really good. Even Brindy and AWard had decent games. The one big difference fo Ward this game was him going in for hits. Last couple of weeks there looked to be several times when he looked to be deciding to skate with the guy or hit him, and he always chose to skate with him. Tonight he stood up and hit the guy, and that was very refreshing.
I really enjoyed watching Whitney set up Ruutu for the Hat Trick BUT
I really hated watching Whitney not take a shot to make it 5 – 2 and finish the Stars and then watch the Stars take it to the other end of the ice and make it 4 – 3 giving me that “Holy f***ing s**t Batman, we’re about to see a really late 3rd period meltdown”.
Glad though it all worked out but hey Ray, if you’re reading, you guys are already the Caniac Canes. No more porrf is needed.

You know he would’ve never heard the end of that one had Dallas came back and tied it. It was a ballsy move that paid off a minute later. Good game over all.

Too true,

Happerry Chrisolkwanaka
You heard Ray say in the postgame comments that Staal called him an A-hole while they were on the bench when the Stars got their 3rd goal? I think the whole team would have been punishing Whitney for weeks if there had been a meltdown leading to a loss.
Glad the hockey gods chose to smile on Whitney, Ruutu and the Canes last night. Christmas spirit and all.

If the Canes have one glaring fault, it is that.....
they are too nice.
They don’t go out to kill the other team. They’re perfectly happy to go out and skate to victory (yes checks and such but as a Red Wings fan said about games between the Wings and they Canes, “It is gentlemanly checking. The stuff that knocks the air out for a minute or two allowing space and a goal”) and let the other team skate away for the next game.
They are “nice guys” and we all know the saying about “nice guys”.
Happerry Chrisolkwanaka
Not always.....
Ruutu put heavy check into the boards on Dallas Dman Trevor Daley last night early and he didn’t return after the first intermission (UBI). The Dallas commentators were impressed by the hit and Ruutu for his power/aggressiveness and replayed the hit at intermission when they heard Daley was done for the night.
Since Ruu was injured in the game in Dallas and missed the next game in Anaheim, does anyone know if Daley had something to do with that? Not that Ruu takes numbers, but still, that game in Dallas was awfully rough.

and sending a message.
Note that Ruu, while putting the hits on, didn’t do that to anyone else.
Happerry Chrisolkwanaka
Well, he did get suspended earlier this year. Not that he’s backing off, but I’d rather him knock the opponents off their feet and avoid any chance of further suspension. BTW, looks like Jarkko Ruutu may be in some trouble for a bad hit last night, now.
Alberts was pretty tough last night too from what I saw. And AWard did nail Morrow (i think?) down near our goal too. The Dallas guys replayed that a few time with admiration of Ward’s toughness. Interesting to watch thru the other teams’ eyes, I guess.

The Jarkko hit was nasty and totally unnecessary. But J Ruu has a history of intentionally, ummm well, let’s call it marginal play. T Ruu’s rap sheet is more littered with “heart before head” playing. The Tucker hit was an example. He had no intention of anything other than finishing a check/making a hockey play on Tucker, but his exuberance pushed that play over the line. J Ruu knows what he is doing is not about a hockey play, it is about intimidation and message sending. The hit in question was alot more than just going to far to finish a check, it was goonery.

Also, while on the subject of hits last night, Byfuglin was a terror last night with two HUGE hits, one that actually knocked the safety glass out of its slot along the boards. I swear this guy would be an awesome addition, and an instant fan fav!

Great game for Ruu. Loved that Ray was shooting more.
I"m a little concerned for Cam Ward though. He looked rough out there.
Ward
Looked slow last night, but I’d think he’s just rusty and trying to get used to his new pads. Plus hadn’t he not played since last Friday?
maybe that explains his lack of mobility. He really could not get up after blocking a shot and let up a lot of rebounds last night.
To his credit though, the only goals allowed were from tip ins directly in front of the net by uncovered players. Ward has struggled before and let in goals. This year, when he struggles he finds ways to keep the puck out. He also finds a way to find his game even if he starts slow.
5 seconds left.
Do you believe in miracles?
YES!!
Forslund said post-game that Ward needs to see more action. He specifically said Ward should have played in Ottawa Saturday and expects (hopes) Ward will play every game from here to Christmas (4 games in the next 6 days) to get back in 100% game-form.

Cam was rusty. He was slow moving from post to post and almost all of the Dallas goals went in on the open side. I think he’s still getting back into the flow of the game and figuring out how to move with the extra padding.
"This guy is as meat and potatoes as there is of a man."
Gleason for Emperor!
Sleeping? I don’t know. They may have wrongly assumed that Cam would have the same level of lateral movement he had prior to getting hurt. But on the whole, I don’t the D was that bad considering most of them were AHL guys and A.Ward.
"This guy is as meat and potatoes as there is of a man."
Gleason for Emperor!
I felt beyond horrible when he went down in the first period. Then I realized I was torn about whether I wanted him to stay in the game or not and I felt even worse.
"This guy is as meat and potatoes as there is of a man."

Yea, you had to feel for the guy. I want him gone, but I hope he can salvage some dignity. Get put on waivers and then do the ol’ ass slide through center ice is not a good thing.

Hey, whatever you say about Aaron’s play, the man bought a box for the entire season for soldiers. Not to mention the dude showed up to sign autographs for season ticket holders the day he was put on waivers. Sports is a tough, and silly, business, but in the game of life Aaron get’s an A+ from me.

I’m ready for him to be off the team too. He doesn’t look like the same player from last year. Maybe it’s a poor fit. Who knows. Just sticking up for the guy on a personal level. What he does is pretty class act. It’s the kind of thing that you point to and tell your kids that’s how it’s supposed to be done.

9 Points from Disaster
Have you looked at the standings? We are 9 points behind Philly, Toronto and TB with a game in hand on a couple of the 3. Not that a 3-6-1 last 10 means we are gaining swiftly, but TB and Philly are falling fast. I would never want the Canes to just quit, and I am convinced that we are headed for a solid #30 finish…but I am concerned about rising to low to mid level standings mediocrity. I guess the balancing points are:
1. Allow tradeable vets to play well enough to show value on the market.
2. Allow young callups to gain experience while remaining healthy and seeing confidence gaining success.
3. Keep the fans interested by winning especially at home.
4. Keep our hold on #1 or #2 in the draft without damaging to core of this team.

Anyone surprised by this? From this morning’s N&O:
Nor did he want a keepsake. After the third goal, a referee handed him the puck. Ruutu tossed it into the stands.
What a Ruuty thing to do.
Love it.

He also helped the refs clean up the ice.

first two goals were pretty much lucky as hell, the 3rd was an EN
I kind of don’t blame him for not wanting it. I would almost feel like I didn’t score any of them.
Then again, how many times was he robbed.....
point-blank by fluke sticks, pads, skates or ice imperfections.
Hopefully the Canes have truly begun to manufacture their luck again.

Not just Tuomo but Staal (3 pts) is waking up for his usual second half of the season resurgence and laying claim to being one of the most dominating players in a game. I think he is getting closer to getting back into the zone and when he does I would pay double to watch him play. What is the latest on Cole? Is this injury for real, if so when are we going to see him back? Hat trick one day, IR the next?

About my only bitch is that it was so friggin’ cold out, most people kept the hat on their head instead of chucking them out. Saw a few of the snot rags get chucked out there…
You’d think at this point the fans would be so happy with another hat trick that they would throw hats, undergarments and the occaisonal chicken sacrifice (my bad on that, didn’t bring a chicken).

This is one of those games that the good outweighs the bad. I can forgive the 2nd period…crud because it worked out in the end. I just want to throw out there that the 4th line did an exceptionally good job in their role. They showed some jump and had a few decent chances. Plus Rod didn’t take a last minute interference penalty a la Modano.
Great game to be at (this puts me at 3-1-1 on the season and I’ve been in the arena for both hat tricks) despite the drunk college kids behind me.

I don’t think this is anything more than a hockey operations transaction, I don’t think they’re trying to get rid of him. I think he must finally be over his concussion issues and well enough to play, so they’re taking him off IR and putting him back on the active roster, but because of his age/number of games played he has to clear waivers before he can be assigned to Albany. He is on a two-way contract so he’ll make AHL salary while he’s there.
