After a lengthy appeal hearing and review proce s, NHL commi sioner Gary Bettman announced Wednesday that he is upholding the 20-game suspension for defenseman Dennis Wideman for checking linesman Don Henderson into the boards in late January.  In his ruling, Bettman stated that  Marshall Faulk Jersey the decision to suspend Wideman for 20 games was supported by clear and convincing evidence.  Wideman was initially suspended 20 games on Feb. 3 following the incident, which occurred on Jan. 27. The NHLPA filed an appeal on his behalf which was heard by the leagues commi sioner last Wednesday. The hearing reportedly lasted more than six hours.  Now that the commi sioner has upheld the ban, Wideman can still appeal the punishment to an independent arbiter. He has already mi sed seven games as a result of the initial 20-game suspension.  UPDATE:  The NHLPA released a statement confirming that they will appeal to the neutral arbitrator:  We are extremely disappointed but not surprised that Gary Bettman upheld the decision of his staff to suspend Dennis Wideman for 20 games. This decision completely ignores the effects of the concu sion that Dennis sustained when he was Coleman Shelton Jersey  driven into the boards eight seconds before colliding with the linesman. We will appeal to the Neutral Discipline Arbitrator in order to have this decision overturned.  In Bettmans detailed decision, he reveals that the NHLPA advocated that no punishment was acceptable for Wideman because there was no intent to injure and the concu sion he was diagnosed with after the game could have impaired him. The commi sioner, however, outwardly rejected that notion, citing that testimony presented by doctors called by the NHLPA provided speculative and at times contradictory information.  Bettman went into more detail here as to why he decided to uphold the suspension as is:  I am left with the firm view that a significant suspension is appropriate. On-ice officials simply cannot be made the target of a players frustration or anger. As noted above, the NHLPA observed that a reduced suspension is in the realm of po sibility, though the Union  Jared Hocker Jersey did not suggest one. I do not see a basis for a le ser penalty, particularly given the severity of the conduct involved.  On the other hand, I have the authority to impose a more substantial suspension and I an troubled by Mr. Widemans total failure to accept any responsibility for his actions. Indeed, although he made much at the hearing about the apologies he had already made to Mr. Henderson, the sincerity of those apologies somewhat rings hollow given the text me sage he sent to a teammate on February 2  after the conclusion of the hearing before Mr. [Colin] Campbell  that the only problem and the only reason Im here is cause the stupid refs and stupid media. Neverthele s, in light of Mr. Widemans prior exemplary disciplinary record, I decline to increase the suspension imposed by Mr. Cambell, which corresponds to the minimum penalty that would apply if Rule 40.2 were applicable.  Theres a lot to digest there, but the summarized version is that Bettman did not feel Wideman was sincere in his remorse over the incident and had he not had a prior exemplary disciplinary record, the suspension could have been made longer.  Bettman also references a text me sage from Wideman's phone to another player in that pa sage, which makes you wonder how they actually got acce s to it. According to Pierre LeBrun, they were produced as part of the discovery proce s, while Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman .  According to a league source, when asked how Wideman text me sage was obtained, ``Produced as part of the discovery Tyler Hall Jersey  proce s.''   Pierre LeBrun (@Real_ESPNLeBrun)  Part of what makes the text me sage being produced so surprising is that the in the now infamous Tom Brady "Deflategate" decision. NFL investigators were unable to see any of the purported evidence from his phone. Meanwhile, Wideman's text appears to be a significant piece of evidence in this decision by the NHL.  UPDATE:  The Ben Skowronek Jersey  CBA allows for the commi sioner the authority to t.Friedman further explained the proce s by which the text me sage was required. It was not by an official subpoena.  Because this is an arbitration hearing -- basically a private court -- neither side can say no to this kind of a request (more)...   Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC)  Provided information isn't privileged, both sides have to provide written communications from witne ses.   Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC)  Friedman also reported that Henderson also had to turnover his text me sages in this proce s of discovery.  Bettman was thorough in his decision, but it will be interesting to see what happens when this goes to a third party. The layers to this ongoing situation just seem to keep going and going.  Dennis Wideman was suspended 20 games for running into a linseman on the ice.  (USATSI)
