Well, There You Have It….
I received an email a short time ago, regarding the Ruutu biting incident last night. Apparently, the (blind) refs at the game didn’t think Ruutu’s behavior warranted punishment. The NHL, however, saw things differently:
“Jarkko Ruutu claimed that he did not bite Andrew Peters at the HSBC Arena Tuesday night. The NHL disagreed with the Ottawa Senators forward and suspended him for two games for the second time this season. ”
BTW, he was previously disciplined by the league for elbowing an opponent.
In thinking this thing through, I really think players who bite ought to have a special mouth guard created…one shaped to resemble a pacifier. Oh, and to add a liitle insult to injury? It ought to be colored PINK!

Here, here!!! Did he think they wouldn’t notice the teeth marks???
Madeline, after Ruutu bit Peters, Peters TRIED to show the refs, but since he was the one who made trouble, their (pea brains) decided Peters needed to be penalized. Peters had the trainer tend to the wound before serving his time in the penalty box. He went to the box with a piece of gauze on his hand. Hello? The refs made NO attempt to even LOOK at the wound.
Seems like whenever it is a call between the Sabres and anyone else, the Sabres ALWAYS lose! ugh…..
It DOES seem odd that they didn’t even look at his wound!
