For whatever reason, he's lost his mojo and IMO that's why the Flames PP is as horrible as it is.

I have zero problem with Wideman on the PP. I agree that's why he's here, 5-6 dman and PP quarterback. That doesn't mean the only play has to get it to him and shoot. He's got a good shot but so do the other 4 guys on the ice. Gaudreau is one of the best in tight. Monahan has fast release from the slot. Gio can rip it. Brodie is Brodie. Hamilton has power and can control the puck down low. Bennett drives to the middle. There is high end talent on this team, we should not have a terrible power play and we should not have a one-look play to our depth defenseman like it's 2012 Tanguay to Iginla. Every damn time.
