Part of the problem I have with it is not the actual suspension itself, but the lack of suspensions for other people who have pushed officials, punched officials and all that other stuff.

It's pretty black and white in the rule book, touching an official is a minimum of 10 games, whether intentional or not. However, that's never actually enforced.

On the same night as the Wideman incident, Milan Lucic punched a linesman in the face. No discussion of a suspension whatsoever.

The lack of consistency is what I find annoying. I'm not saying that Wideman should not have been suspended or that 20 games is too much. Where are the other ones.
