Ottawa’s Jarkko Ruutu Takes a Bite Out of Andrew Peters

In what has been perhaps the most bizarre week of fighting in the history of hockey goonism, Ottawa Senators forward Jarkko Ruutu has seemingly upped the ante. In the first period of Tuesday’s game, Ruutu took a bite out of Sabres forward Andrew Peters.

Ruutu was not penalized for his actions — how does the referee signal two-minutes for biting? Does he pull out a sandwich and eat it? — while Peters was handed a two-minute minor for unsportsmanlike conduct. It’s possible that Ruutu will be facing a suspension from the league — that is, if the NHL’s wheel of discipline remains consistent. Then again, when has that ever happened?

So far this week we’ve seen biting, slapping, and whatever it was Sidney Crosby did. All we’re missing is hair-pulling and eye-gouging. Of course, the week is still young.
