There will be no riots in Calgary should Wideman get suspended, I can promise you that.

I know Wideman is a whipping boy and many would be happy to see Wideman out of the lineup. Nevertheless, I think it's harder for most of us to see a player that we are used to as seeing as a good guy and a guy that doesn't have a mean streak as culpable of hitting a linesman for no reason.
If it was someone we didn't know as a player, our opinions of the player would probably be informed by the video we see of him doing but because we already have an opinion about the player, our opinion of the video is biased by our own expectations.
