Is this hit intentional?

Recently, Dennis Wideman had his suspension reduced from 20 games to 10 by an independent arbitrator.

ESPN
 
In the summary of his decision, Oldham wrote: "Wideman did not, in my opinion, 'deliberately strike' [linesman Don] Henderson. I do not believe that in his concussed state, Wideman could or should have anticipated that his push would cause Henderson to fall and bang his head against the boards sufficiently hard to put Henderson also in a concussed state."

Based on his conclusion, there should have been no disciplining of Wideman.

Linesman Don Henderson has not worked a game since he was hit by Dennis Wideman.

However, Oldman concluded that the NHL should not have gone beyond the 10-game minimum suspension specified in Rule 40.3, which states that any player who deliberately applies physical force to an official in any manner, when physical force is applied without intent to injure, or who spits on an official shall be automatically suspended for no fewer than 10 games

It looks pretty deliberate to me...

Tbh, that clause is weird. Applying deliberate or negligent (and if this wasn't deliberate, it was bloody negligent) physical force to an official in any manner when a significant injury results should probably be 20 games. The fact that there's even a lesser level suspension available because a player "had no intent to injure" isn't like anything I've seen in any other league.
