The player coming on for him was already on the ice, meaning that Wideman has to get off quickly to avoid a too many men call.

In fact, Wideman treats it exactly like he believed the whole thing was an accidental collision at the time. I think he's more likely to stop and check if it was somehow intentional.

Like I've said, EVERY PIECE of evidence, other then the video, suggests that the whole thing was completely accidental. Wideman's reaction to the whole thing is most key. Wideman would have acted differently had the true story been anything other than he explained it immediately after the game last Wednesday.
