If wideman is mailing g in efforts in practice, why in the blue hello do you want him mailing in efforts in a playoff push. It makes no sense to prefer wideman today over Andersson. I'm not saying Andersson is the answer but holy man, just in attitude and effort alone there's a difference.

Give me the excited kid eager to prove he is worthy who's playing very well over a vet on his last legs limping put of a career.
Let's be clear here: there are no "reports" to this effect. A poster passed along assertions by a severely jaded reporter regarding Wideman's poor attitude that have since been pretty much completely debunked:
