Wtf was Dennis Wideman thinking cross checking that ref??

Id say it's safe to say he probably wasn't thinking at all at that point.
No need for that kind of stupidity in the game I hope they don't go easy on him or refs everywhere will suffer.

Bullshit he didn't know what he was doing 'cause he was in a daze. He's not even that kind
of player. He played with the B's and he rarely hit anyone with his purse... I hope they give
him 10 games at least. You cannot have that kind of thing in the game! This isn't the 70's!

The fans will always vote for the underdog. Baseball has this happen from time to time
so if the NHL doesn't like it they will have to take the vote away from the fans.

Bullshit? I agree with you dude he was pissed that he got hammered and didn't get a call and was pissed.
If they gave him a life time ban I'd be ok with it. Spoiled kid syndrome the only thing he didn't do was stomp and grunt

You could see him extend his arms after the hit FROM BEHIND!!!! Worst thing I've seen in a looooong
time. Not since the 70's when ref's would get punched during a scrum. AND THAT WAS BY MISTAKE!
That's why they started letting them go until they were tired out.

Definitely, you could see he was pissed about the missed call and the N.H.L. is trying to
minimize the backlash by saying he was concussed. I don't believe that at all.

I just heard they are punishing Calgary too because he was told to follow the concussion protocol and refused. So his argument to say he was dazed goes out the window.
I don't think it should matter that he is a first time offender. He could have easily went around the linesman. In fact if I were the nhl I'd give him more games now for opening his mouth. Has an appeal ever resulted in more games? He's a vet he should know the stripped shirt means stay away.

yep! that's the replay angle where it's crystal clear it was intentional.

Yes, he refused but I'm not sure of the rule about that. Is the team responsible for dragging
him off the bench? Something stinks here. There was an article on ESPN that the concussion
protocol was followed and he refused. I may be wrong here but the rule doesn't make you
pull the player off the ice but they want to change that so if the person judges that there could be a
concussion the player CAN'T refuse treatment. I really think the nhl is trying to cover it's ass
so they don't get sued.

it will be like the nfl where the player doesn't have a say in the matter. which is good for both legal reasons and for the ultimate health of the player in the end.

Pro athletes are not the brightest bulbs in the pack. Dumb people need to have others step in for their own sake. That's why everything in the world needs safety gates and captain obvious stickers.
If the team Dr told him to follow concussion protocol and go to the quiet room or whatever he has no right to refuse. If anything the team could void his contract ala mike Richards. Or at the very least give him a team suspension too.
It has always amazed me that pro athletes always seem to not be held to the same workers comp protocols or even the same laws.

They have looked real solid... Dallas is looking esp good this year as well. Not to mention the Hawks as per usual

I've been saying Dallas and NYR, the Rangers haven't come through so well but Lunquist is
dangerous in the playoffs. Dallas defensive structure scares me a bit. I'm waffling on them..
It takes a great offence to overcome a so so defence in the playoffs.

i just hope the nbc sports app on my roku is fixed by playoffs... The effing thing hasn't worked like all year. The nhls transition from nhl gamecenter to nhl tv this week was such an epic fail... Was so mad tues because it didn't work for shit either lol but it seems to be working now and the picture is really crisp
