I voted suspension. Not because I think it was malicious, but because you have to discipline any sort of abuse of an official, regardless of intent.

I think he only gets 1 game as a reminder to the players that the act, purposeful or not, cannot go undisciplined.

But Wideman got rocked, was skating back to the bench and he was clearly suffering from some ill effects. Hes infront of the opponents bench, cant focus, cant think, just trying to get to the bench and he see someone coming, knowing hes vulnerable, gets his hands up and pushes who ever was coming at him, trying to get to safety.
