Jarkko Ruutu: The Story of a Rat

"Like my boy tells me, if it looks like a rat and smells like a rat, by golly, it is a rat." Terrell Owens

The Sens Army ironically wrote this today on Alex Ovechkin considering Ruutu the dirtiest, most underhanded player in the league.



Well tonight in the Sabres - Sens game, Ruutu proved just that, taking a bite out of Andrew Peters hand during a scrum. Ruutu was not given a penalty, even though Peters adamantly showed the officials the teeth marks on his thumb area. As a matter of fact, Peters was given an unsportsmanlike for goin after the ref.



Now we can recall Avery got 6 for calling Elisha Cuthbert a cum dumpster, Peca got a 10 (reduced to 5) for laying his hands on a referee, and Corey Perry got 4 for his ugly elbow on Giroux. I can't find a full list of the current season's suspensions, I'm sure I'm missing some.

The question is, how many games will Ruutu get for biting? 2, 4, 6, 8, none? Comment. Do it.
