Objectively... one of those is way worse than the other, without the added points of Beckman's immediate remorse + staying with the ref till the trainers came vs Wideman smoking the ref that was in his vision for 5+ seconds, continuing to the bench and showing zero remorse.
Beckman's was as unintentional as it gets, and thankfully the ref in question wasn't seriously hurt, unlike Wideman's play

Little known fact, the NHL was looking to trim linesmen and Henderson was on the chopping block...
