The Wideman 3rd pairing comments come from him being moved to the 3rd pairing when the Capitals went to the play-offs that year.
Wideman had a very hot start that year offensively that year which resulted in his All-Star game and then reverted back to his normal trainwreck defensively so he was put on the 3rd pairing in the play-offs to limit the damage he could do to the Capitals.
