Joel Quenville, Shut the hell up.

If you follow hockey you have probably seen the hit, James Wisnewski of the Anaheim Ducks smashing Brent Seabrook of the Chicago Blackhawks into the boards and glass and Seabrook being out on his feet before toppling like the pin that is last to go down on it own. The hit could have been called one of three penalties: Elbowing since he hit him with the elbow, charging, since Wisnewski left his feet, or interference because Seabrook never touched the puck in that playing segment. It was a nasty hit and I agree with the 8 game suspension handed out by Colin Campbell and the NHL. The part I don't agree with is Chicago Blackhawks' coach Joel Quenville's comments after the game.

Quenville has the rare ability that whenever he opens his mouth, he gets dumber than the time before. This is not the first time Quenville has been in my cross hairs for making stupid comments either.

Quenville said that it was the most dirtiest hit in hockey history. Let me channel my inner Edge here, WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONGGGGGGGGGGG. Where this was a questionable play to make it is far from being the biggest cheap shot/dirty play of all time. Here are some of my examples of dirtier plays, 1994 Canucks vs Stars series up to the point where Bure made Churla his bitch with a flying elbow. How about Steve Moore on Markus Naslund, Gary Suter on Gretzky during the '91 Canada Cup. The list goes on before I would declare that the dirtiest hit.

If you are wondering what the other time was, it was early on in the 2003/2004 NHL season when Todd Bertuzzi obliterated Barrett Jackman with a great hit and Quenville said that it was a dasturdly hit that had no place in the game. Watch the highlight you numbskull, Jackman had his head down and Bertuzzi flattened him.

Since I am on the topic of headshots, here is my way of thinking to get it so these don't happen so often. The players wear soft cap elbow and shoulder pads, instead of teaching players to turn away so that the opposing player can only see your numbers, teach them to be more aware on the ice, and take out the worst rule in hockey, the instigator, the rule has no place in the game of hockey and it will make players think twice about going after star players, did anyone ever go after Gretzky the way they can go after Crosby? No, because if they did they would have to deal with Semenko, McSorley, Beukaboom, and about another half dozen players.

So, if you want to get headshots out of the game, try implimenting that and see what happens, oh wait, hockey will become to popular and Bettman doesn't want that, that just leads to more teams being in Canada.
