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...
Well maybe it's the leagues fault for having them on the ice. It's not like linesman need to be on the ice. They could call icing from lifeguard stands at the blue line and drop the puck their as well.
