For my part, I agree that it sucks that Wideman is in this situation. But if the hearing goes as it seems it will, and the result is a long suspension, I am also of the opinion that this is the right decision. While understanding completely that Wideman may not have intended what happened, it is important that the League not budge from their "no tolerance" approach to officials. The outcome should reinforce how important it is for players to be aware of and responsible for their actions on the ice.
