I do think he was VERY dazed and disoriented, but that really doesn't make this situation better. It really just transfers the blame, as what were the Flames doing putting him back on the ice after getting his bell rung badly enough to have lost his marbles like that? I don't have a detailed knowledge of the concussion protocol, but that kind of situation merits investigation by the medical staff, and it looked like they just put him back out there.

It definitely
does make the situation better - for Wideman.
And that is what the discussion is about
: should he be suspended?
Whether or not he should have been subjected to concussion protocol is absolutely irrelevant to this discussion.
