Although the suspension is a bit excessive, it was the best thing that could have happened to the Flames defense. Hartley for some reason could not figure out that Wideman was the major problem with the Flames PP. All year he was always given the pp role although he never earned it because of his total lack of mobility, and speed. Now the pp is working well and Nakladahl is finally getting his tryout. Hamilton is far superior to Wideman on the pp. the only bad thing is Hartley will not learn his lesson and will put Wideman back on the pp instead of playing him 12 minutes or benching him.
