I'm honestly asking. I don't recall.

Nor do I, but I suspect it escaped the notice of most posters here. The OOT has been a bit of a ghost town this season.
The difference I see in the Weber collision and the Wideman incident is that in the former, Henderson glides right into the path of Weber, who is skating at high speed, and cannot avoid the contact made. I don't believe the same can be said for Wideman, who appears to be skating in the direction of the linesman from the time he gets back on his feet; he has tonnes more time to anticipate. And again, the shot he delivers does not really look like follow through from or anticipation of a collision. It seems more like a reactionary response to the collision.
