Icon48 NHL suspends Wideman 20 games. UPD: Bettman could take to next week to decide appeal

Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie
20 games for Dennis Wideman.

General Fanager @generalfanager
Wideman will forfeit $564,516 in salary with his 20 game suspension #Flames




Eric Francis @EricFrancis
#Flames GM Brad Treliving respectfully refused to comment on whether the Flames will appeal. Team trying to get its head around suspension

John Shannon @JSportsnet
NHLPA and Wideman still deciding on appeal. Expect a decision later today.

Calgary Flames @NHLFlames
Calgary roster update: #Flames granted non-roster status for Dennis Wideman. Micheal Ferland has been activated from the injured reserve.

Wideman on non-roster status means he will not count to the 23 man roster limit while suspended.


NHLPA @NHLPA
The NHLPA has filed an appeal with the NHL on behalf of Dennis Wideman following today's suspension


Appeal discussion starts at post 451.

I think they got it right. There is just too much speculation about what happened, and in the end the League has to protect the officials.
