The Washington Capitals certainly had their day this afternoon when  they defeated the New York Rangers 5-3  in a game that saw Ranger players concussed and bitten by Capital players. That’s right. You heard me correctly. Brandon Dubinsky was bitten by Shoane Morrison of the Washington Capitals. 

What happens to a disturbed child in nursery school when they bite others? They are ostracized from the class until their abhorent behavior desists. Shoane Morrision should be suspended at least three games by this joke of a league for biting Dubinsky.

Brandon Dubinsky had  to get a tetanus shot. Morrison obviously broke his skin. Were I Dubinsky, I would demand that Morrison be tested for AIDS  as a precaution. Were I Brandon Dubinsly, I would sue Morrison for assault. What’s next? Morrison biting off another player’s ear, ala Mike Tyson?

Donald Brashear was allowed to remain on the ice after he instigated an altercation with Colton Orr during the pre-game warm up. According to NHL rules, Brashear should not have been allowed to play in the game for this offense committed in the warm up. Perhaps if he had been ejected, he would not have had the opportunity to hit Blair Betts late and high, thusly removing Betts from the game and sending him to the hospital with a serious concussion.  

Where will the double standards end? There is one set of rules for the Caps and another for the Rangers. But with Colin Campbell and Gary Bettman running this league one shouldn’t expect anything different.

The NHL is a disgrace and a joke. Not even the WWE tolerates biting.
