It took place right in front of the visitor's bench. Several players were looking directly at what happened straight in front of them in real time. Their reaction is not typical.

The play was coming back down the ice towards Wideman...it was right in front of a lot of the Preds eyes, but not what they were looking at...

It's slightly surprising that we've only ever seen the oft repeated GIF angle, and a super high end zone view (IIRC these were the only two views shown in the suspension explanation video). It seems the regular centre ice cam didn't even catch it...

Wideman got an unbelievably raw deal and I didn’t care for him as a player. He literally never even had taken a major penalty in his career. No suspensions. No fines. Zero benefit of the doubt with a DIAGNOSED concussion from a doctor and the NEUTRAL arbitrator ruling on his side. Of course this “neutral arbitrator” was immediately dismissed by Bettman.

If anyone has ever watched MMA they should know that concussed people attack the referee literally on a regular basis


Didn’t they also seize his phone and go through his texts? How is he not suing THEM?

Also why on earth would he attack a LINESMAN of all people

Joe blow would saw a looped clip thinks he lost his #### of the ref after a bad call or something. It wasn't even a heated game at the time or anything.

Then there is the fact the DW and the linesman shared a laugh about it a few mins later (saw it with my own eyes) and the linesman dropped the puck and continued the game. After the social media firestorm he was suddenly injured for life. Yes I know these things can come on later...just seems convenient for a guy that they were trying to "retire" ASAP by all accounts.

Bottom line it wasn't on purpose...what is the motive?
