[ThisIsAnOutrage]

Well, there's only one way to right this situation: the entire league has to replay all games that took place during the 9 games Wideman missed, but should have been eligible to play in. That way the Flames get the choice of icing Wideman, and the whole league has to play the same amount of extra games so there is no unfair advantage going into the playoffs.

Obviously this won't happen, but it does help to underscore what a ****show the NHL is when it comes to this sort of thing. Suppose the Flames were a team that missed the playoffs by two points this year? Shameful, embarrassing garbage. This is an outrage.
