When I saw this video first I was in shock, that Capitals player Dennis Wideman absolutely buried this official. People saying this was an accident are absolutely out of their minds, Wideman intentionally took his rage out on this official and drilled him from behind. People are saying that this linesman missed the call so he was just coming for payback. People defending Wideman are crazy, I like to see tough hard hits between the players but there is absolutely no need to basically kill a linesman cause your a little angry about a missed call. Wideman should get thrown out of the league for this stunt he pulled even though he apologized this hit was vicious. Wideman said "I was just trying to get off the ice. And, at the last second, I looked up and saw him." He also said, it was "unintentional." I mean I'm not an expert but this hit is not unintentional and saying I didn't see him is a poor excuse. They gotta throw the rule book at him here and come down hard and at least suspend him for the rest of the season. At least.
Why did he do that? The definitely need to make an example when players do stuff like this.
