Sources tell TSN the National Hockey League is expected to schedule a hearing today to determine discipline for Ottawa Senators forward Jarkko Ruutu following a biting incident Tuesday night in Buffalo.
Although the video evidence appears to conclusively show Ruutu bit the gloved thumb of Sabres tough guy Andrew Peters, after the Sens 4-2 loss Ruutu denied that to be the case.
“Nothing happened there,” Ruutu said after the game. “His fingers were by my mouth but I didn’t bite him.”
The altercation took place in the first period after Peters started an exchange with Ruutu by rubbing his glove into Ruutu’s face.
“It’s a pretty goofy thing that happened,” Peters said. “It’s not the injury, it’s the incident. Just the fact that happened it’s unfortunate. It’s not good for the game of hockey.”
The logistics as to what time the hearing will take place, or where are still being worked out.
Should have bit his dick off. Scratch that. Ruutu might have gotten syphilis like the two beat looking 17 year old girls from Nichols that Peter’s slept with.
