Vancouver Canucks "hack" Alex Burrows bites Patrice Bergeron


If the league doesn't suspend Vancouver Canucks hack Alex Burrows for this classless act on Boston Bruins forward Patrice Bergeron the NHL has no cojones, this is unacceptable behavior and NHL hockey players are men and they should be biting people. Just for the record ; former Senators hack Jarkko Ruutu was given a two game suspension for biting AndrewPeters.

Ducks' hack Ruutu suspended for one game - edit Erat to miss game 5


Jarkko Ruutu’s hit on Martin Erat will cost him a one game suspension, Ruutu has been suspended by the NHL and he will miss torrow night's game five between the Ducks and the Predators.

Edit: If you want to read an interesting perspective about the hit click on the link to the Duck's Blog at the Orange County Register, some of the comments are interesting. If you go and a read NHL rule 48 it appears that the hit by Ruutu is a textbook example of a violation of that rule. The rule is pretty straight forward. If the Ruutu hit on Erat was as soft as some Ducks fan s have claimed, then why is Erat going to miss game five? According to the Tennessean Martin Erat will not make the trip to Anaheim for Friday’s Game 5 and is being listed with an upper-body injury. So much for the Theory that Erat took a dive and it was a soft hit. Game, set and match.
TORONTO – Anaheim Ducks forward Jarkko Ruutu has been suspended for one game for delivering a late hit to Nashville Predators forward Martin Erat in Game Four of their Western Conference quarterfinal last night, the National Hockey League announced today.

The incident occurred 4:00 into the second period and Ruutu was assessed a minor penalty for interference on the play.

Ruutu's suspension will be served tomorrow night (April 22) when the Ducks host the Predators in Game Five of the series.

Martin Erat blown up by Jarkko Ruutu...


Jarkko Ruutu’s hit on Martin Erat is going to get some scrutiny from the NHL disciplinarian Colin Campbell. Enough is enough someone needs to sit the rest of the playoffs, eliminate them from the game for the rest of the playoffs.

Every night there is another incident that involves another player head hunting an opponent. Eventually, I hate to say it; someone is going to get killed on the ice and it isn't going to be from a fight, it going to be at the should/elbow of one of these gutless pukes that some like to refer to as agitators, I call them P.O.S. they are the Matt Cooke type players that take liberties up and down the ice. These are the same buffoons that commit one of these gutless acts and then hide behind the refs and turtle when challenged to a fight. Unfortunately, none of these repeat offenders players ever seem to get caught with their heads down.

This is why we applaud players like Evander Kane when the bill comes due; this is why I stood up and cheered in my empty living room when Tie Domie knocked Ulfie Samuelsson out cold. These players never seem to pay for their transgressions and they never get what they have coming to them.
