Wideman Suspended 20 Games

This happened a while ago, but we now know that Dennis Wideman is suspended for 20 games for  checking an official from behind. Since Wideman has no history of doing anything like this he probably got lucky on this one. When Wideman took a hit from Nashville winger Miikka Salomaki and wasn't happy since there was no penalty on the play so he went after the linesman. Wideman has clamed that it was unintentional, but I'm sure everyone else did. I think this choice is right since, if Wideman did the same thing to a player and injured him, the consequence would have been severe as well. Wideman also just drove right into the ref without slowing down or do anything to prevent the hit. Do you think it's too severe? Will Wideman do something like this again? What is next for him? stay tuned....
