Wideman totally planned getting hit and knocking his face into the boards. He then proceeded up the ice with his head "down" so he could "accidentally" smoke a linesman in the back. It was all a clever rouse as he knew it would be reviewed by the league. His weak attempt to jump out of the way and act surprised were all planned after getting up off of the ice and skating to the bench.
He is a wiley veteran after all. He should now be called CraftyDog.
