Bet all the refs are sympathizing with him too. What a joke.

The Flames too, huh? Wideman effect confirmed.

yeah, no offense, but things like that don't happen in hockey. Linesman and referees aren't part of the game...

While one can argue about the amount of money being sued for and whether the organization ought to be a defendant, at the end of the day, Wideman's actions outside of the rules of the game caused it to happen.

so i get suing Wideman... i don't get 10 million (stemming from the medical issues cited) nor naming the flames organization as a defendant...
