I would have taken a 4-4 over a power play in that situation.
You just DO NOT let your goalie get run over like that without doing anything about it (in Wideman's case, he backed away from the guy).
If I am MacDonald and I see my team isn't doing anything, I would just tell them to eff off after the win. Two games in a row and both times no one does anything for him, he must totally feel like a part of the team.
Like I said in the PGT, if this was Kipper, would we have seen a different reaction from the Flames? Also, is this whole penalty thing an excuse because I am sure that this would not be happening when we had Regehr, Phaneuf, Warrener and when Sarich was a big part of the team.
