The National Hockey League (NHL) has fined and suspended Jarko Ruutu for biting Andrew Peters in last nights game between the Sabres and the Senators.
So let me get this straight, Ruutu, after being face washed by Peters, decided to bite Peters' thumb. According to the AP, he bite down and broke through the glove drawing blood. Really? Was that necessary? I mean its for one thing to leap into the stands and beat a guy with his own loafer or throw a cheap shot when you are about to lose the Stanley Cup (remember that Hextall?), but bite a guy? I find that horribly juvenile. The worst he could have done was actually fought Peters, he's a crummy NHL fighter, so he's got a chance. But no, you decided to play Hannibal Lector.
Don't get me wrong, I loved Peters when he played in Rochester, he was a great fighter, but now, he just prances around and clutches guys during a scrap. THROW A PUNCH! Put some foil on those hands!
Unbelievable!
