There was a little of everything last night in the Sabres-Senators game at HSBC, goals, sloppy defense, good goaltending from Ryan Miller, fights, and biting. Did I say biting yes I did.

The Sabres won their third in a row and Derek Roy, Thomas Vanek and Drew Stafford continued their hot play. Matt Ellis also scored for his 4th of the season. That goal doubles his previous high for goals in a season of two.

I think we can also say for the first time this season, Ryan Miller is carrying this team a little. Yes they have scored 4 goals in three straight games and even with an average goalie, most teams will win in this league with four goals a night, but especially last night, Miller had to make some big saves including a big glove save against Jason Spezza in the third period to keep the score 3-2.

Jarko Ruutu has officially become the new Sean Avery as he bit Andrew Peter's thumb. Is that what it has come down to now for the lowly Senators? Biting? Girl tactics? My how the Sens have fallen, when you resort to girly, Mike Tyson strategies when the going gets tough. Andrew Peters was about to tear his head off in a scrum and so instead of take Peters on man to man, Jarko must have been a little hungry.

The biggest joke, which shows how incredibly inept the officiating in the NHL is, Andrew Peters got an unsportmanlike penalty for trying to point out the fact that the asshole bit him. Wake up NHL and suspend Jarko today, not tomorrow or the next day, look at the friggin film and put a stop to that kind of crap now:
