I dont get the outrage.

Wideman has had what, 750 NHL games without a suspension?

So all of a sudden, after all that he chooses to take some aggression out on an official?

This has nothing to do with Wideman, its politics, and I dont mean that in a tinfoil hat kind of way.

If Wideman had a concussion the NHL is in trouble. If the ref was crap the NHL is in trouble. If the Arbitrator got it wrong the NHL is in trouble.

So in short: The NHL is in trouble.

This has nothing at all to do with Wideman, hes just an unfortunate but convenient scapegoat but at the same time, you cant just let this go.
