Alleged bite earns Sens' Ruutu hearing

Hockey Betting Lines

01/07/2009 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Senators forward Jarkko Ruutu may be facing discipline actions from the league after he allegedly bit Buffalo Sabres forward Andrew Peters in Tuesday night's contest between Ottawa and Buffalo.

The incident occurred in the first period of the contest, which was eventually won by the Sabres, 4-2. During a skirmish near the players' benches, Peters had a glove in Ruutu's face and the Buffalo forward came away from the gathering shaking a now gloveless hand.

Peters complained to officials on the ice and was seen on the Sabres' bench mouthing that Ruutu bit him. Peters continued to make that claim after the contest.

Ruutu was not penalized on the play and denied biting Peters, but according to NHL.com, Ruutu had an over-the-phone hearing with NHL senior executive vice president of hockey operations Colin Campbell on Wednesday.

Ottawa could be without Ruutu for Thursday's game against Boston if the league feels a suspension is warranted.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.

NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.

Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.

Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.

Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
