Tiger Gino Brash Ryp Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Dennis Wideman just can't seem to stay on the ice. The Calgary Flames defenseman was hurt in the immediate aftermath of teammate Michael Frolik's goal Wednesday night. Wideman collided with Joe Colborne near the boards, moments after Frolik gave the Flames a 2-0 lead in the first period. The Flames later called Wideman's ailment an upper-body injury and announced he wouldn't return. It was his third game back after sitting out 19 contests while his 20-game suspension for hitting linesman Don Henderson was appealed and ultimately reduced to 10.

swflyers8 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Karma? Quote It was later revealed that Wideman had also suffered a concussion on the Salomaki body check and refused treatment by the Flames' training staff, in violation of the NHL's mandatory head injury protocols.[9] How is this karma? He had a concussion. He has never been a dirty player. I guess a Canadian thing with you guys. You just hate each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is karma because he was found to have deliberately targeted an official, then launched a spurious appeal which was always going to find in his favour due to the inconsistent rulings of the NHL in previous instances. The official will miss the rest of the season and won't have $m health treatment from a rich team, he'll be down his local doctor's getting tablets and sitting in a dark room at home, while his family tries to get by on his sick pay from his job that pays him 1/50th of Wideman's salary. Now he's been taken out by his own team-mate. That reeks of justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only did his opinion indicate that Wideman's contact with the official was not premeditated and largely affected by a concussion he attained on the hit prior to contact with the official, but that Bettman's analysis of the incident was lacking in every area of his argument for the 20 game suspension. Why do we need an arbitrator to have to intervene and state the obvious. Maybe its because Bettman thinks he is GOD NHL but now we know he is just a humorless napoleon wannabe. Now Bettman's appeal is spurious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have no idea about the severity of Wideman's concussion. Your history with concussions has nothing to do with anything. If there was a way to prove that Wideman's actions were not concussion related the NHL would have done so. The rest is all opinion. You don't believe that someone with a brain injury wasn't fully aware of what was going on in his surroundings. I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't like to see a person assault another person at any time, especially when the other party can't see it coming. Wideman assaulted someone from behind. It was a very cowardly act. It displays no courage or honour to attack someone who is unsuspecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It displays no courage or honour to attack someone who is unsuspecting. It was said as I posted the fact, that Wideman had a concussion after the hit he suffered. When he skated back to bench he had no clue where he was. It was similar to the Kapanen hit, the Toews hit. If your brain is scrambled, how do you expect him to know where or who he was at the time. As far as your last line, hmmm, I can remember a certain Canuck player who displayed no courage or honor when he attacked a guy who was unsuspecting. Yet most still defended him and wished him the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
