Wideman Russel is an example

Roberts niewendyk stern had one of the best playoffs ever, but we lost in 7.
But there are much better pairings, long term in the organization's history. I don't know if the Wideman Russel pairing is even top 10 in the last 10 years,

The general tone that I am pushing against is that Wideman was a pile of poo for his whole time on the Flames. He was not. For 20 games plus playoffs he was a hero.
