Dennis Wideman's season started like any other season. Play top four minutes alongside Kris Russell, hang out on the power play, constantly shoot pucks wide because his name is literally Wide Man.
But things went wrong. Coming off of a career season in which he scored 15 goals and 56 points (both career highs), his shooting percentage dropped from 8.7% to 2.7%. He scored just two goals and 19 points (both career lows) through 51 games.
And that isn't even getting into the entire fiasco that came about when he got concussed and collided with linesman Don Henderson, who hasn't worked since that day.
