Yes, I am mad that a thug of a hockey player may have ended the career of an official and was not remorseful of it. How could you not be? If he had a concussion, or if it was strictly an accident, that's still a disgusting, classless attitude. Again, if we take what Wideman said at face value, the best case scenario is he doesn't know what happened. It could be an accident, he could have lost control like his experts argued. He doesn't know, yet he refused to take responsibility at all, instead blames the stupid refs...as their colleague is in a hospital.
However, I don't quite believe everything Wideman said to the experts which means I think he is lying on top of the above.
The thing is, this is a Flames player we're talking about on a Flames website. On the other hockey sites, the stance on Wideman is very much different. Calling him scum is the norm really.
