Both comments (Wideman's and Gulutzan's) are simple snippets. They are basically saying the same thing a bit differently. Of course Wideman - as the person who screwed up - offered a bit of a reason for his errors (I'm still learning the system), while Gulutzan, the owner of the system, simply called them errors.
Seriously, there is nothing to see here.

Then why has Wideman gone from top pairing to 2 straight benchings in the span of 2 games? Because Wideman needs more time to learn this system than 22 year old Brett Kulak? Or Jokipakka? Hamilton?
There are very few coaches or players who are going to bluntly say what they are thinking to the media (e.g John Tortorella, Sean Avery, Bryzgalov). But when tensions get high they start hinting at things to the media and making very obvious implications. You don't make such vague statements to the media unless you WANT them to read into what's being said between the lines. They do enough of that on their own when nothing is implied.
I find it amusing how much you want these direct quotes to be dismissed and swept under the rug.
