Green text? A workplace free of violence?
You tell me the last time an NHL player stopped in the middle of play to help an opponent or official and then I'll blame Wideman. It never, ever happens. Ever.
Not to mention Wideman did apologize and if anything him not stopping the play and embarrassing himself shows he didn't think it was a big deal. Honestly, imagine how much he gets ridiculed if Henderson is fine and he takes a penalty. We'd have mercilessly ripped him a new one for being a ##### and an idiot for taking a too many men penalty.
