Maybe Ruutu is the next guy up to play a part in Jaws.

Yahoo! (and various other sites) reported that Jarkko Ruutu received a two game suspension after the biting incident against Andrew Peters. He stated that he didn't bite him, but listening to Andrew's post game and after practice comments, he sounds very sincere about what happened last night. I don't think Andrew would lie about something like this, either. Sean Avery had gotten a six game suspension for his comments about Elisha Cuthbert, but do you think this biting incident deserved more? I do. But that's my opinion.

Timmy is reported to definitely come back on Friday. He looked very happy in his post practice interview from this morning, and I liked to see a smile on his face for once. He sounds optimistic...and I think that's the first time I've heard him say that he knows he's going to get hit. That he can't worry about that and just play his game. It was refreshing to hear. At the same time, I still don't think he's going to last pretty long. Please, make me eat my words, Timmy.

Oh, and Anne posted the list of the Western Conference Reserves for the All Star game. I think it's a good list, but I think some players were snubbed...I can't wait until the list tomorrow. If a certain someone is on that list tomorrow, I will probably have a big post to go along with it. I hope it happens!

Time to bring in the team's...veterinarian ?

You know, from the look on Petey's face, it does appear as if Ruutu gave him a case of rabies. Look at that stance!

I'll have more on the game tomorrow once I recollect my thoughts over the day. The bite incident, the thirty two seconds apart goals by the Sens, and everything else.

Oh, and congratulations to Rob Ray on the birth of his new son!

Everyone's talking about it, so I'll just follow suit.

If you're behind the times in the Buffalo Sports scene, then check out the following video:



As you can see, Adam Mair tried to get into a tiff with Chris Neil, though he is yelling at Jarkko Ruutu in the video. Pretty much all the blogs I read have taken note on what happened last night, and I guess it's being reviewed by the league. I honestly don't see what is so bad about this altercation. Mairsy DID NOT fight Ruutu in the hallway. Sure, he grabbed his undershirt, but a huge fight did not break out. The commissioner was in town, yes, but nothing is going to happen from this until the next Sabres/Sens game when they can deal with things on the ice - in a fight. If Mairsy gets a fine for this then okay, but if he gets suspended...well, I think the league needs to chill out. Like the Michael Peca incident. They were overreacting with this one, and if the league suspends Mair as well, then they are surely overreacting on issues not that serious unlike other issues at hand.

On a better note, I'd like to welcome Caroline to the blogging world! Go read! (Even if there is only one entry, but go go go!)
