I feel bad for Corey Hirsch and Brent Sopel (although both of them seem to have gotten their life together).

Exactly, maybe Wideman is dealing with personal problems, if that's the case I would be empathetic but he seems to have a healthy family and has done very well for himself. I'm not going to feel bad for him after learning he is moping around and needed to be talked to by the coach. He should be grateful for what the Flames have given him and how they stood up for him last year and got him paid for 10 games he missed due to the suspension.
