or Wideman could have simply collided with the ref like you would have it that was your team mate maybe? raise his stick up to protect himself sure... it was the hard follow through that was the problem...
The NHL suspended this guy for 20 games! 20! People act like its some that happens all the time... it does not.
Find me one other incident. One. Where a player does something remotely like that to an official, where the puck isn't even close to either of them...
I definitely agree with the first part of you post though
