Oh Dennis Wideman. He’s been quite the story for the last year. It’s no secret or surprise that Calgary Flames fans aren’t exactly very fond of Wideman. I feel like I could talk for hours about him.
Last season in January of 2016, Dennis Wideman had a bit of an altercation, if you will, with an official. Basically, he got checked hard into the boards and when he got up and made his way to the bench, he looked to cross-check an official. In the NHL, touching or fighting an official is completely hands-off, which I completely agree with.
