James Wisniewski Suspended Eight Games

What i don't understand is how Downie's hit which was at least on the ouck got 20 games and this one where there was no intention of going for the puck got less than half the amount

The overarching theme for me is the fact that the Hawks don't dress a Heavy. Ben Eager is not a deterrent.

To answer your question, me memories says (bad memory) - The hits were about 10+ seconds apart, not much time for someone to retaliate during the shift. That being said, Wiz was in the WRONG!!

Dirty hit by Wisniewski, definitely warranted a suspension. But when I saw it at first, I was expecting 3-5 games. 8 is definite overkill, but he also picked an especially terrible time to throw a check like that with all of the drama and criticism being hurled at the league lately. So that obviously contributed to them coming so hard on this play.
