The NHL suspended Calgary Flames defenseman Dennis Wideman indefinitely after his hit on linesman Donnie Henderson sent the official into the boards Jan. 27. Wideman spoke to the media following practice Thursday, one day after finding out the league had decided to suspend him for 20 games, per ESPN.com.
"Firstly, I want to apologize to Donnie Henderson," Wideman said. "I feel awful about what happened. Hopefully he's recovering and he's going to be back on the ice soon, but I feel really bad about the whole situation. The last seven days have been tough.
