GG is such a moron for STILL giving Wideman top four minutes. This coach is a blind idiot.

Anyone in the 403 area that cares about hockey could tell you he's costing the team.

Is that not interference on Martinook BTW? Wideman wasn't exactly near the puck.

Now I see why you guys rag on Wideman all the time! The pylon picture could not be any more appropriate for that guy!

That's a play that should get him benched. That goal is on Gaudreau and I'm tired of seeing piss-poor effort on plays like that as soon as he doesn't have the puck.
Start of the play was on him, but Wideman got beat pretty badly. I guess you could call interference there but he's not getting that call.

They aren't even rusty as they have outplayed the Coyotes. It's just that the teams bad players are really bad (Wideman) and their best players are bad (Gaudreau).

Chad Johnson is not a starting goalie, and not better than Elliot

Yeah, I was thinking that. I think the only way you justify t is saying it was incidental contact and Wideman lost an edge at the same time. But like I said above, he's not getting that call.

I don't blame Wideman the guy is over the hill and should not be playing regular shifts.

Their winning % when trailing into the second period is .296. As AC pointed out, it's even lower trailing into the third.

Edit: just to be clear, I'm talking about the 2nd goal.
Agreed.

If you can't produce then work your hardest not to be a liability out there at least. I don't like this year's version of Gaudreau as much as the previous two seasons. This guy's playing like a one dimensional quitter.

Why does GG insist on keeping our goalies in when they aren't having a good night? Pull Johnny and put in Elliott. We can't lose this...

I just can't believe management can't find a better option anywhere to be the no.4. How can they not see how awful Wideman is, he's exactly what you don't want in a Dman. Slow,small, not physical, turnover machine. But they keep using him over and over again. I've said it before but you are putting yourself at a huge disadvantage with using Wideman in the top.4 every ####ing night. ####ing insane
