And let's not overlook the effect that allowing Wideman to play would have.
Let's say that Wideman was allowed to play during the appeal process. And let's say that the Flames were in the playoff race. And let's say that Wideman was a contributing team to said-playoff-bound Flames. Use your imagination.
Now if the arbitrator took his time and came back and upheld the 20 game suspension? He's not playing in the playoffs now...People would lose their ####ing minds.
