More Headshots: James Wisniewski Takes Out Brent Seabrook

One of Coyotes Fans' "favorite" players, one James Wisniewski, tonight delivered a vicious hit on the Chicago Blackhawks' Brent Seabrook. Seabrook had delivered an out of position hit on Corey Perry of the Ducks and Play continued. Then after the puck had been cycled past Seabrook behind the net, Wisniewski came in with his arms up high slamming Seabrook's head into the glass and knocking him out. Here's a look at the video:

 

More breakdown after the jump...

Star-divide

While Seabrook's hit on Perry was a hard one and left Perry a little dazed it certainly looked and felt more like a hockey play as Perry had the puck. With Seabrook just waiting as the play developed, Wisniewski's hit was much more violent and seemed like he was headhunting in retribution. Certainly sending a message with hard clean hits is acceptable and certainly warranted, but this isn't the first time Wizzer's done this. You may remember him from such hits as this cheap hit on Shane Doan that earned him a two game suspension:


Last night Wisniewski ended up with a 2 minute charging and a 5 minute for fighting after Duncan Keith came in to stick up for his guy. Seabrook looked like he was going to try and come back, but ended up staying out with an "upper body injury" I can only assume that means to the head since he looked out of it. 

Another thing that was more than a little disturbing was the announcers wondering aloud if he "Sold it". That's just disgusting. It's never fun to watch a player struggle to get to his feet or worse, try to skate to the bench after hits like that. Just sad.

What do you think about the hit? To the comments.

Suspend Him Now

And suspend him for the remainder of the season and playoffs. Time to send a message. I don’t care about precedent, set a new one. If you are a parent and every time your kid misbehaves you give him a 5 minute timeout, but they keep doing it, you don;t say well I’ve always given them 5 minutes I have to keep doing it. No, you up the ante and make an example of one for the benefit of everyone.

Make it clear than any intentional head shot in the future will get the same penalty. You want to end headshots, thats how you do it.

I think hawks coach Quenniville sums up the zebras tonight

I mean, between that and the crosscheck on Sopel while he was waiting to catch a puck that was 10 ft above his head when he got checked, why even bother having refs?

There are two coyotes inside every fan, a good one and a bad one, so which coyote do you feed?

You’ll have to just post a link. The animated GIFs work, but not video embeds unless they’re in the posts.

Seabrook was asleep on his feet.

Someone never taught WIz the proper way to hit. I would volunteer to teach him, but he’d end up missing teeth.

Yeah.

I’m all for good hard hits, but while Seabrook’s hit may have been iffy, Wizzer was headhunting.

Wisniewski leads with his forearms

With elbow pads on and such, it’s like getting hit by a kid hanging out of a car holding a baseball bat. Of course you’re gonna get KO’d. I love the big knockout hit as much as the next guy, but if you’re gonna do it…Do it right. Watch some Scott Stevens tapes, Wis. Ya fairy.
