This exactly. No one should be biting another player in hockey, but anyone that says it was a regular ol facewash is super blind.
I thought it was funny that Gorges complained about the bite after the game, but to him the face-molestation Grabo took is totally fine. I would go mental if someone did that to me.

To be fair to McGoo, Godin was unecessarily antagonizing with his difference of opinion. McGoof? come on, we've all been here a while and its just unecessary.
Max shouldn't have put his arm in Grabs face. Grabs arms were tied up. Grabs (if he did bite him) shouldn't have done it. I can understand a natural reaction to such a thing though. In a melee like that one thing happens and bombards you and you would probably freak out a bit if it happened to you.

Don't mistake opinion for fact.
grabo shouldnt have bit him, plain and simple. we dont need that in hockey.
HOWEVER,
i dont blame him at all. if maxpac did that to me, and his arm was in my mouth, he's getting bit. and i know 99% of us would have done the same if we were put in the same situation.
both players are at fault. i dont think a suspension should be warranted, perhaps one game just because it was a bite and the league wants to send a message.
Mcgoo is quick to call people 'dipshit', 'retarted' and other names that he has ***out, so yeah, I think a lot of people on here are fed up with his retorts. There is no need for it and he should show some respect if he is disputing someones opinion or if he can't help himself, then move on and don't reply at all. I think Pupage would agree.

2 things I have learned from this thread ...
1) Grabovski obviously doesn't wear a mouth guard
2) Canadien and Leaf fans don't play well with each other in the sandbox
yea I don't know. I've always had a good report with Mister McGoo, I guess i've never noticed or seen those things you speak of.
The things McGoo said about Grabovski aren't out of line. you disagree, that's great. It seem to me to came first with the Mcgoof comment and then things spiraled.
Really though, I'm not on anyone's side, just observations.

I didn't call you anything, you started with the name calling so bite me ok? (lmao, see what I did there guys?)
As far as respect goes, it is something you earn, it is not something that should be handed out for free. If you behave like a jackass then I'll treat you like one, its just that simple. All we've got from you is a senseless argument you were unable to defend and name calling, you get zero respect for that dude, sorry but no
That's your alter-ego account huh? Good to know there skippy, thanks for the heads up!

ok go ahead, I challenge you... find the quote from me in this thread where I support MaxPac's actions in the slightest, because as usual you're so full of it you'll have nothing to retort with. But go ahead and try, this will be funny.
I don't think its acceptable for one player to bite another...EVER. Its a bitch move anyway you choose to slice it and even if you don't care about fighting with honor it is extremely dangerous from a health perspective and simply cannot be permitted by the league. That has got nothing to do with specific teams or players or any of that nonsense. Geesh, next we'll see Phaneuf stomping on someone's leg a la Chris Pronger and you'll tell us that's justified too right?

I know I'm going to get ripped for Habs bias here, but here are my thoughts.
"Facewashes" happen like 10 times per game, hundreds of times per week, in the NHL. But how often do you hear of biting incidents?
Sure you'll say there is a difference here because it was bare arm in the mouth, but even then, there is always an alternative to biting (jerking your head away, trying to close your mouth, etc.).
Biting is a really cowardly move, no matter which way you slice it. I was stunned at Dobber's tweet. Really Dobber? If my hand/arm is in your mouth during a hockey scrum, your immediate reaction is to bite? Geez...
I thought Burrows' bite in the Cup Final two years ago was a cowardly act. I think this bite by Grabovski, if it did happen, is a cowardly act. Someone's hand in your face does not justify it. You live with the facewash or you return the favor with a return facewash, or challenging the guy to a fight, or you just get the hell outta there as soon as you can (and maybe if you're a small player / non-fighter, you make sure the tough guy on your team noticed what happened and seeks payback). You never, ever bite.
