There are 560,000 reasons why he would say otherwise. But he told the truth and in doing so saves these guys careers.

I dare say that others would not be so truthful in the same situation.

The situation was self-created though. If Wideman swallowed his pride and followed protocol the optics would be entirely different.

How different would this thing be if right after he got off the ice, he went down the hall? Instead Flames trainers look incompetent and he's out 500k
