The Flames coach was asked about sitting someone like Wideman, a veteran commanding millions in pay.

“My message is very clear — we’re going to carry 23 bodies,” said Hartley. “And (Wednesday), it’s not like we had three kids sitting. We’re going to keep playing our young players. But, again, always remember — it has always earned and never given.
“You want to be in the lineup for every game for the 82 games, you’ll have to show up for the 82 games. Free ice time doesn’t exist in Calgary.”

Glad to see that management is holding players accountable for their play. The fact that we are sitting our highest paid D man in only game 2 shows to everyone that if you don't play and give your best every night their will be consequences.
Respect.
