Confirmed Signing with Link: [MTL] Chris Wideman signs with the Canadiens (1 year, $750k)

Guys, this is Chris Wideman not Dennis Wideman. How many more “Montreal likes abusive players” shit will be spewed? At least get the player right.

Just kidding, they’re both abusive.

 

[Shad]

Wait all he did was that Uber video? Lol who cares.

From UFC championships to the Canadiens blue line. Is there anything this man can’t do?

it's still lockeroom cancer imo. nothing we need and add that we are out of captain for leadership.... doesn't look good rn.

Montreal going all in on high character

 

[Agalloch]

My guess is Luke Richardson knows him well. He was head coach in AHL when Wideman played for Binghamton.

as a #7 it's fine, we needed a defenseman,

Petry - edumnson
Chariot - XX
Kulak - Romanov
Wideman

if Savard rumors are true it's a pretty suspect defenseman and gives me some worry as to what the hell Berg and Co are up to but that's par for the course the past two weeks.

I expect another d-man and we go with 8.

Savard, Wideman and another one.

 

[Unspecified]

THE Chris Wideman? KHL top defenseman Chris Wideman? How can Montreal afford him?

I thought Chris Wideman the MMA guy until i realized he spells it Chris Weidman.

 

[nucksauce]

Controversial Canadiens

 

[Langdon Alger]

Weber’s replacement

 

[sens13]

lol wideman barely did anything. not to mention duchene and other players were also involved yet he's the only one who gets the blame

We're a very rich organization.

What Wideman did was the average guy equivalent of complaining about your boss with coworkers while having a night out with them. I'm sure most people have done it they just weren't recorded or famous.

The comparisons to Mailloux is crazy, and the comparisons of either of them to Voyonov is even worse. Cause you know that man viciously beat his wife.

Id be fine with that but I dont think thats whats going to happen

 

[overlords]

The Athletic article on Wideman is actually really good. Goes into detail about how he was essentially scape goated and blacklisted from the league cause of that Uber incident. Nice to see him make his way back tbh.

The 'Uber Incident': Did a secret video destroy an NHL career?

Yikes that uber driver is a piece of shit.

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

The guy who pushed a ref or the guy who said some shit in Ottawa?

He not pushed ref, he delivered hard, clean hit.

 

[abo9]

You lot thought I was crazy. But here we are lmao

Via: LHPMD to Montréal



Remember a Panthers fan calling me weird for throwing out random names.
Sorry I follow hockey outside the NHL i guess

Small gamble I guess for a guy who lit it up everywhere but the NHL - except that looks like it was a rough ride after the uber incident (5 teams in 2018-19 lol?)

Is his teammate Damir Zhafyarov legit as well? Could sign him in the same package

I guess that means no DeAngelo in Montreal? Since Wideman would be the 2nd offensive defenseman

I'd love to see it though. Crash course 101 on rebuilding a D on the cheap.

 

[Agalloch]

Why not ? We have no depth in the AHL for our d-men.

 

[Captain97]

He not pushed ref, he delivered hard, clean hit.

And is a different person that was Dennis

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

What Wideman did isn't that bad but boy Montreal loves players with some dark clouds over them.

Character they said in Montreal I remember.

 

[BlueOil]

be interesting to see how much his game drops off in the nhl
