Ah yes, expert testimony during the hearing is clearly irrelevant.

For your argument that the concussion can cause agression/momentary lack of judgment, we must be talking about milliseconds here.

Ah my argument? THAT WAS WIDEMAN'S ARGUMENT. At least that presented by the experts hire by the NHLPA. Jeeze. People didn't even read any of the documents but are sure to chime in a lot.

And the things you like to point out don't fully contradict each other - more than one thing can be true

And how does "I don't remember the incident, it was all a blur" and "I remember the incident, I just didn't see him until too late" both argued by Wideman long after the incident took place not contradict one another?

We never see Wideman's eyes. The idea that he didn't really see what was happening seems so much more probable to me than any other conspiracy theory.

While I agree, then why the need to hire two doctors and have them talk about concussion issues, including aggression and lack of judgement?
My issue with Wideman hasn't been the incident itself. If he just said it was an accident I would probably believe him - at least with my Flames homerglasses on like majority of us. However, it was the clear bull#### he was feeding to these doctors, the obvious coaching he had been given, to get the concussion diagnosis right and give him the best chance of "well, if you don't believe it was an accident then I still wasn't at fault because of this..." that made me sour on him. Especially as Henderson's in the hospital and this clown is blaming the "stupid refs and stupid media."
