Miss you too Ruutu!

A snippet from an article with Jaarko Ruutu in SLAM! Sports Canada today:

"It's a totally new thing for me and it takes time for me to adjust. I had seven good years in Vancouver and it was all good. But it was a chance for a change of scenery."

Change was inevitable in Vancouver after the Canucks, pre-season contenders for the Cup, failed to make the playoffs.

"It was a real disappointment at the end of the year. We had high expectations," said Ruutu. "A lot of times when that happens it's time for a change of scenery. But I love Vancouver, it's probably the best place on earth to play hockey. But I have to move on, we've got a good young team here."
