What a pile of crap. So since they "already wanted him to retire", it's ok for a pro hockey player to break his neck? A history of being in the wrong place? What, did a few pucks hit his skates? Sounds like a great reason to absolutely demolish him from behind with a crosscheck.
Can't believe what I'm reading. Wideman should have gotten more than Bertuzzi for ending a career.
