The NHL's found another way to get noticed on ESPN:

The Buffalo News had a good roundup of the particulars with this case, something I'm a bit late getting to. The Goose's Roost has more from the Sabres perspective, too.

Frankly, I don't have any time for nonsense like this. If I was running the show, Jarkko Ruutu would get at least a handful of games on the sidelines.

The NHL seems a bit like a playground for toddlers these days. Add "you can't bite" to the house rules.

UPDATE The league has suspended Ruutu for two games.
