3 quick things of note:
- Wideman should be suspended even if it was accidental. 10 Games was enough.
- This is more about the league setting a precidence about "I was Concussed" not being an excuse in future incidents.
- The Text message changes nothing for me. Anyone should be allowed to vent when situations dont go your way behind closed doors. Its really underhanded by the league to try to use that as evidence to incriminate him like he doesnt care, because he obviously does and this incident pretty much ruined his career.
I think the context of the text message is that it was truly accidental and that if there was no injury or if contact wasnt so reactionary then it wouldnt be a story because of the media. Then because the NHL has to defend there Ref's he got over-disciplined.
