I feel like they could do studies on how people perceive the intent in this video.
I sit here, thinking to myself "how could anyone possibly believe that was on purpose?". It seems painfully obvious to me that he was gliding off for a line change, the ref began skating backwards, and at the last second Wideman tried to stop up and even jump to the right away from the bench he's trying to get to, and incidental contact was made.
Then we have others in this thread saying "how can anyone believe that was accidental?".
I'll put the suspension @ 0 games.
