The hit Wideman took was hip to hip along the boards, but it spun him around face first into the glass. Good hit, bad reaction. If Wideman had a concussion, why did he finish the game? Doesn't the NHL have a concussion protocol in place for things like this?
Meanwhile, Captain Chaos (AKA Ovi) is sitting out the All Star game to nurse a pesky lower body injury; he's been replaced in the lineup by Evgeny Kuznetsof - deserving lad that he is. I'm glad Ovi has the sense to pull himself out of the game.
After the break, the real push to the postseason starts.
