Whatever Wideman said after the incident doesn't mean much to me. What he did was completely out of character and attacking an official shows he didn't realize who it was. I can see someone getting the book thrown at them when in the middle of a conflict they attack an official but this was just him skating back to the bench. Sure he smacked his stick on the ice to signal a change but this is just a procedural memory.
