There is one pretty clear video...and another (that most, including the NHL, have chosen to ignore) that makes the same incident look pretty different in tone and intent.

Wideman is being tried by gif.

At the end of the day the NHL has made a mess of this situation. A 5-10 game suspension and it would've been over --- but now we're talking concussions, text messages, arbitration. This story isn't going away quietly.
