I really have no idea why Sportsnet keeps putting Francis on air. I was extremely shocked when he made a few appearances on Satellite Hotstove a few years back. There must be better analysts (and when I think of analyst, I somehow can't get myself to think of Francis as one) out there. Better writers out there.

He has been 'ok' at times, but he has also been utterly unbearable too often.

That play looked totally innocent. He got tripped, then slid into the boards lightly. How the hell did he get injured from that? Sucks for him. Terrible season. Hope he can use that as motivation to rebound next season.

Sucks for Wideman, especially after sitting out for 19 games, but this is really the best case scenario for the Flames. They can continue to evaluate Wotherspoon or another prospect.

Curse you Don Henderson and Gary Bettman!

What a conspiracy!

Bettman is a Lizard-man who is a member of the Bilderberger Group!

Giordano gets a season-ending arm injury and then signs a big, multi-year extension.

Now Wideman, also heading into the last year of his contract, mysteriously gets a season-ending arm injury too?

Pretty fishy.

Wideman will just have to play out the rest of the season as the hot-dog vendor across the street from Bettman's office in New York.

For reasons.

Treliving on 960 says 50/50 Wideman will require surgery. Meeting with a specialist tomorrow.
