BUFFALO, NY - JANUARY 6: Andrew Peters #76 of the Buffalo Sabres reacts after allegedly being bitten by a Ottawa Senator Jarkko Ruutu at HSBC Arena January 6, 2009 in Buffalo, New York. (Photo by Rick Stewart/Getty Images)Yes, I too am asking "WHAT?" Notice the looks of concern pasted all over the players on the Ottawa bench. The game recap describes it like this:
The game had its chippy moments, the most curious coming late in the first period when Sabres enforcer Andrew Peters was rubbing his glove across the face of Jarkko Ruutu only to have the Senators forward bite the glove right off Peters’ hand. Peters doubled over in pain clutching his thumb and complained to the officials.
Peters was penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct for going after Ruutu behind the play, while Ruutu was not penalized.
Well, Peters will think twice about doing that again.

To All,
I was watching the game last night when that happen and all I can say is the NHL should come down hard on Jarkko Ruutu. His quote is this "He had his finger in my mouth, but I didn't bite him."
I would suspend him for at least 10 games - there is no place for this type of thing!!!
