Ruutu Voted Third Dirtiest Player In NHL

Beloved Ottawa Senators pest Jarkko Ruutu has been voted the third dirtiest player in the NHL, according to a recent Sports Illustrated survey conducted that polled 324 of Ruutu's fellow NHLers.

Ruutu received 12% of the votes, putting him slightly behind Chris Pronger and Steve Ott, who each received 13% of voting. Sean Avery (10%) and Scott Hartnell (5%) rounded out the top 5 of this veritable who's who of goonery.
