Didn't Wideman serve 19 games when his suspension was reduced from 20 to 10?
The NHL rejected his appeal and then the PA went to independent arbitration for an appeal but that took so long it was mostly a waste of time (except for the loss of pay).
So if a player gets one or two games in the playoffs and they appeal, it's a waste of time. The NHL will either immediately reject it or delay anyway.
