Are we all looking at the same hit? Am I the only one that thinks Wideman got off easy with only 20 games?
What details am I missing here that has CP in an uproar? Cause this is pretty extreme homerism, even for here.[/QUOTE]
I don't think anyone is arguing that he didn't hit the guy. It is the context of the prior hit and what his state of mind was at that time. Bettman clearly takes your position: look at the video, he hit him hard!.
What is interesting to me is whether an arbitrator would accept any of the expert findings. It seems they were dismissed out of hand, for not having the interview done immediately after the hit. Perhaps that is legit, but I would have thought uncontested medical advice should hold some weight (unless I missed something that indicated the NHL doctors looked at him as well).

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
