Wha???? Wideman drove himself home after serious injury?

[Icelevel]

On 1200 tells story of his leg injury. He was in shock getting back to room and then removing gear. He thought he had to get his car back home and get ready for practice next day.
So he drove home and came in next day and only THEN decided there was a problem?

No doctors?? Staff? Hello?
Says he thinks he made it worse driving.

Someone please tell me I missed something.

He knew what happened to the last RD on the team that tried to charge an Uber to the company card.

Ha, I thought the exact same thing when I heard the interview.

Just keeps getting worse never ends with this cancer of an owner.

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

Is this the injury where Malkin fell on him? No one evaluated him? Huh?

#Melnykout needs to start badgering the NHLPA

I'd love to see the Ottawa Senators become a sticking point in the next lockout.

No Boro?

He said nothing about being evaluated, he drove home using his left foot, slept on the couch, woke up the next day and went to the rink for practice. Never any mention of an evaluation until at least the next day.

Yeah the one when his leg bent off his body and left him unable to walk straight.

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

Seeing how much water Boro carries for the team, surprised he didn't carry his D partner back home.

My friend ran into Melnyk in the Dollar Store and Melnyk told him that Uber is too is overpriced and also may count against the cap.

 

[Multigrain]

What team would let that happen?

He was there trying to get a better deal on hockey equipment for our players, wasn't he?

Wonder why all the Senators blogs haven't picked up on this yet.

I'm sure the training staff spoke with him and went through their procedure. The part your missing is how Wideman obviously was trying to hide the extent of the injury. The point of him telling the story wasn't that to shame the organization rather to describe the pain of the injury.

Yeah I get that he wasn’t trying to shame the organization. That’s not my point though. My point is that had anyone looked at him properly he would have gone to the hospital and not be left to drive himself home.
I mean we all watched it happen. It did not look good. At all. And it wasn’t. Season ending injury.

Wideman felt he was fine to drive home and even practice the next day, that right there is pretty telling of his mindset following the incident. I couldn't tell you whether Wideman actually felt alright, or he was intentionally hiding how he felt but the training staff can only do so much when a player leads them to believe he is fine, I'm sure they went through their procedure and were planning to reevaluate him the next day.

This is yet another example of making a story out of nothing to shame melnyk and the franchise. I get it things are bad but not everything needs to be blown out of proportion. Try and keep a level head for a moment.
