This whole argument is ridiculous, There is no way Wideman did this intentionally. Even if he was angry about the hit why would he hit a linesman and not the ref? But thats not even the point. The point is this happens all the time on the ice, either you are looking down or at the bench or you are watching the play and you misjudge the line someone is taking, and you don't realize until its too late. Then all you can do is try to stop or get out of the way and brace yourself for impact, which is what Wideman did, and now its getting blown way out of proportion. Theres a reason the broadcasters barely seemed upset about this at all in the video because it was clearly a mistake and it happens sometimes.
