This one was pretty explicit. Yes, neither expert took a stance that wasn't hypothetical because that's the nature of concussions. Especially when their patient can't remember the incident in question, it all can only be hypothetical.
The point was that Wideman, if he is to be believed, may have intentionally attacked Henderson (and I emphasis this) because of the concussion he received. Not even he could be sure, as he doesn't remember. If that's the case, then we can sympathy with both Wideman and Henderson. However, in that case Wideman should have been remorseful for his actions (even if he didn't recall or have control at the time). Instead he blamed the stupid refs and stupid media...while Henderson's career may be over.

So what you're mad about is that Wideman wasn't remorseful. My take is that since he had a concussion, it could be said that he isn't responsible for his actions.
Lets face it the refs do have a stake in this and with pressure from the refs and under the guise of protecting them, Bettman made his decision. So yeah, in Wideman's mind the stupid refs and the stupid media were out for blood.
