Russell has been good in his sheltered role though, and Brodie has been a machine is his shutdown role. Keeping his head way above water even though he has been put in really tough spots.

Great post. I think both you and Moon may be on to something with Wideman. I can't be the only person that has noticed that the team defense has been poor since he arrived last season (obviously not solely his fault) and since he's been injured the Flames have given up 5 goals (Ducks) then 1, 1, 3, 1 goal against. There has been no clip in the last two years where the team has kept the goals against this low. I realize one guy doesn't account for all of team defense but the team has played much tighter in his absence.
