				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.
