By now you've probably seen footage of Calgary's Dennis Wideman skating toward his bench and giving a vicious crosscheck to veteran official Don Henderson right before he got there. Henderson had his back turned and never saw it coming.
I'd never seen a player do anything dirty like that to an official in more than 50 years of watching hockey. Not only was that appalling, but so was Barry Melrose saying on ESPN that in his opinion Wideman didn't do it intentionally.
Huh? What exactly was Melrose's watching? Wideman should face a lengthy suspension and Melrose shouldn't be on the air anymore because his credibility is shot.
