I agree that hitting from behind is worse, but watch how Weber defends himself. His hands go up and he pushes off, just like Wideman in defence. I'd even say Weber's push look more violent, and that he had more than ample time to hold up before he crushed him. I'd also like to point out the way Hendersons head hits the ice after this hit, he was lucky to get up.
This is definitely a video I'd be bringing if I was Wideman.
