When things are bad, behave badly.

...biting? In the NHL? What is this, sandbox?

Things must be pretty bad if we're resorting to biting the opposition.

I am pleased that the Buffalo player was the one who drew the penalty for unsportsmanlike behavior -- and yes, I do know that had there not been any drama with the biting, there would not have been any penalty.

And then the rest of the period really took off, didn't it. Sticks to the face, a little dance with Neil and Peters, and ended with Vermette enjoying a stick in the groin. It looked like Buffalo was getting the worst of it, but it looked a near thing.

Fortunately for me, the PVR can only watch two things at once, and the wife had a House episode and some other thing queue'd up, so I wasn't forced to sit through any more of this garbage.

All this, and a regulation loss, too.
