That's the thing though, the one who bit the other player doesn't have the sack to drop his gloves and fight, he's Finnish for christ sakes, he won't fight, he'll drop the gloves and have a hug fest that's for sure though.

Please a more reputable player wouldn't have facewashed is a)bullshit, and b)bullshit. I've seen all the great players in my lifetime facewash, Mario, Gretzky, Yzerman, hell I've seen video of the greats from the past facewash other players, you know what I haven't seen though, any of those great players bite another player, that's what makes them great players, they don't do things like this to embarrass the game.

Them both being idiots is beside the point, this is the same as kicking another player or spitting on another player, are we supposed to just say, oh well he deserved to be kicked he's an idiot anyways if it ever happens? It's embarassing for the sport, and it's embarrassing for the Senators as a team, Ruutu is enough of an embarrassment to himself so I could care less about him.

Maybe it's the way I used to play the game when I played, I had a job to do and I did it well, I respected other players and if they wanted to drop the mitts for a discussion, I was more than willing, I've been facewashed more times than I can remember, and never had it occurred to me to bite the other player, that's just a cowardly thing to do. I've facewashed countless players over the years, thousands I bet, and you know what not a one ever bit me, why because hockey players, at least tough guys used to respect each other, but not with these little tough guy wannabe's like Ruttu, it's just cowardly and pathetic.

Ah well, I guess we agree to disagree. How do the Sens fans treat and Oilers fan there anyways? I lived in Ottawa for 3 years and they were ruthless about the Leafs, until that is the usual time came and the Sens choke in the playoffs. I like the Oilers, Mctavish had a good quote about this incident, saidsomething along the lines of guys get hungry out there, then asked if it was in the third period, hilarious soundbite, got to love Mctavish.
