The NHL has been consistently inconsistent with suspensions so I would hope by now fans are past being infuriated as it seems like such a waste of energy to be outraged about something that you know was coming and was out of your control. I don't think it's ridiculous at all as it was a dumb and potentially dangerous play by Wideman. As I have said before the only issue I have is that it came after a big hit and if you really wanted to take it to legal avenues a case can be made that it can't be known if he was truly of sane mind when he committed it. That said the NHL is within it's rights to suspend him for his actions regardless.
