He told this to the Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun: “It was the most gutless thing somebody could ever do. It’s what Tkachuk had to say about Lemieux and how it might shed some light on his departure from the Rangers. It’s not the bite or the possible suspension that is interesting. That means he is facing a suspension of six games or longer. Lemeiux drew a match penalty and is going to have an in-person hearing via zoom.
It was the first biting incident in the NHL since Senators forward Jarko Ruutu bit Sabres tough guy Andrew Peters on the thumb, biting through Peters’ glove. Here’s video of the whole thing.ĭid Brendan Lemieux just bite Brady Tkachuk? In the Los Angeles Kings win over the Ottawa Senators, Brady Tkachuk and Lemieux got into a fight and while wrestling on the ice, Lemieux bit Tkachuk on the hand, drawing blood.
The question among the fan base was why was he even traded and why such a meager return? We might have gotten an answer last night. The mystery was why the Rangers would trade him before the deadline to a team that was not playoff-bound when they could have dangled him before a contender at the deadline. Although he was offensively challenged with only two goals in 31 games, he was going to lead the Rangers in penalty minutes Lemieux was a fan favorite for his feisty personality and on a team that was perceived as “soft,” he was one of the few who was willing to mix it up. One of the great mysteries of last season is the fact that on March 27, two weeks before the trade deadline, the Rangers traded Brendan Lemieux to the Los Angeles Kings for a fourth round draft pick. There was one incident Saturday night that warrants some attention.
