And is that a 24 +/- I see?

Yeah, I must say, that was a rather impressive stat.
Also impressive? That Conettes managed -8 plus/minus on Monday alone.

I can't believe this crap. Ruutu is on my fantasy team for 1 reason - penalties. He freakin' bites a guy and doesn't even go to the box for it?! I claim shenanigans!

Alright, the next guy who says shenanigans gets pistol whipped!

Hey Farva, what's the name of that restaurant you like with all the goofy shit on the wall and the mozzarella sticks?

You mean Shenanigans? It is shenanigans, right?

[Sahan]

Hahaha, oh god, that's crzy. How come none of these things like eye-gouging and biting never happen in sporting events here? All we have is chair sniffing.

[mountainmage]

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, Sahan, why? You broke our wonderful Super Troopers combo!

[Sahan]

Oh, right. Pretend it never happened, then.

The suspension was a joke. The guy played it up huge, and he had a glove on! Ridiculous.

And if he was bit, he had to have his thumb in the other guy's mouth... Wich isn't totally the best place to put your fingers, i'd say.

Yeah, I was watching some sports news and an NHL panel (Off the Record for those who know it), and I would say that a majority of the people agreed with the suspension. They also said that, in the same position, the would have done the same as Ruutu.
The main reason it was making big news in those shows (rather than just one of many news stories) was because a similar thing happened to a Team Canadia player in the World Junior final against Sweden. There was a pile up in front of the Swedish net and I guess one of the Canadians was facewashing one of the Swedes and the Canadian player recoiled in such a way that he was bit (far less dramatic than the Ruutu situation, just a recoil and the shaking of the hand in pain). He didn't make a deal of it at all, though, and the refs didn't see it. The guy who was bit didn't put on a production and I didn't see him petitioning the refs at all, which was not at all the case with the Ruutu situation, which was blown hugely out of proportion, as I said.

Peters, the supposed Sabres' tough guy was the one who got bit, isn't it?

That's right. I couldn't remember the name. A lot of theatrics on his part for that nonsense.

not as much theatrics as the swedes' goalie though.

[Frostbite]

The only reason I remember Peters is this incident.
