IMHO this is the best quip on this board since the faith in lack disturbing one a few years back.

Well played sir, very well played

5 is absurd. Biting is dangerous, unhygienic, and makes a mockery of the sport.

I didn’t expect much but I’m honestly stunned he didn’t get at least 10. That seemed like an easy 10 games to me.

Hope Tkachuk has had a tetanus vaccination recently. Maybe he should get a rabies vaccine as well.

There’s not much point in lecturing (or should that be “Lectoring”?) this guy. Throw the book at him.

I'd be uncontrollably angry as well if I had to wear a shiny silver helmet.

My dog would have to go to the pound if he did something like that.

I don't get it. I can see 5 games if there was some question of how intentional it was, like if Brady pushed his hand in his mouth, but the video in the OP has the NHL acknowledging it was a deliberate biting action. I don't see how that isn't at least 20 games

Should have been 10... that being said, while a dirty play, it isn't something that could end a career, and they give guys who do things like that 5 games too. Marchand just got 3 for an egregious slew foot, which was far more dangerous than biting someone.

I don't know why anyone is even surprised. It's Claude Lemieux's son. Whether you attribute it to nature or nurture, this guy was destined to be a piece of garbage.

The steve dangle podcast covered this a little bit. They mentioned the history of the tkachuk's vs lemieux's.. claude vs keith in the past, and then Brady vs Brendan a while back.. also Matthew absolutely mugging Brendan in the young stars tournament in 2016 (i was there to see it - was glorious and can't believe matthew wasn't suspended lollll)

Christmas dinners must be amusing to watch at their household. Reach in front of someone to grab the butter? There goes a finger!
