Except for the fact that collisions often look intentional when they clearly are not (teammate-on-teammate). Hell, even Weber's hit above looks intentional. It wasn't and neither was Wideman's. He didn't see him and then he did. He braced himself. It happens all the time. He didn't see him and then he did.
It was either accidental or malicious. It didn't happen in a vacuum, we know Wideman's character from the evidence of his 800 games played. His character happens to line up with the most logical explanation - it was likely an accident. The director of officiating agrees.
"You'd say different if he was an oiler" is bull#### and often a sign of an argument on shaky footing.
