Widemans track record should absolutely play a role in how much they want to give him the benefit of the doubt, and his potential scentence.
For the record, I don't buy his dazed and head down and didn't see him excuse. He looked wounded at first, but he'd had his head up for avenue before he hit the ref. Looked to me like a guy who got stung, was upset about it and had a tantrum when his route to the bench got blocked. He needs some sort of suspension cause he was unable to control his emotions and it resulted in him intentionally contacting an official. Have to be able to control your emotions.

How does who the charges are laid against change the charge? Minors? Sure.
And of course intent alters the length of sentence, but in either case he's guilty.
The video removes any benefit of doubt, as basically the entire hockey world minus 40% of Calgarypuck has already explained.
