MaxPac says "here grabo chew on this for a bit"..

Grabo says "ummmm ok, pass the salt"

If someone was trying to rip my face off from behind, I may be inclined to chomp down aswell.. But totally agree, Grabo is not a clean player by any means..

Great game for the Leafs... one of the best I've seen in years (literally).

With respect to Grabo/Orr, I think they were both within their right to react the way they did.

I hope some player stands up for Grabovski in the media, because someone should be making the point being made post: Pacioretty was ripping his face off from behind, he kinda had it coming.

Unfortunately all I saw on TSN narrative was the Habs players basically calling Grabovski a coward.

One thing is certain. If you're Orr, you 100% don't have to go after the smallest guy on the ice. Grow a pair son.

pacioretty had his hand / wrist over grabo's face for a long time .

not sayin biting is cool , but if that was the only way to get his hand off his face , well.....

you couldn't see anything from the replays I saw so it is inconclusive at this point but if he really did bite him that's some pu$$y-assed bullshit and he should be heavily suspended. You can't have athletes biting one another you can get freakin hepatitis or HIV from that, not cool.

terrible game for the Habs though, just awful

How many times does this type of incident have to happen before rational people realize that a person who is struggling to breathe might have a biting motion.

Re:Orr, he had that late hit attempt on a small player to send a message. Everyone is fair game so back off.

Agreed. WHAT is the point of putting your hand on someones face from behind other then to piss them off. I say THAT is cowardly and not the bite. Do that from in front of someone and at least they can pop you. Do it from behind like a coward, and all he could do is bite.

Missed the game last night, and just watching Josh Georges sucky response - saying how that Grabo should "be a man" and "get in there"

After seeing the replays, I was pretty sure he came to the defence of his team mate and was "getting in there" straight up UNTIL Max Power rakes him from behind and tries to rip his face off. Whos the coward???

I like Georges, but he looked ridiculous trying to point out the bite and ignoring what led up to it, as if Grabo was running around like Jaws from James Bond.

Now the Orr on Pleks and Gionta - not a big fan of that
