Their first experience in the NHL’s regular season with three-on-three overtime didn’t end well for the Winnipeg Jets.
And they were sour about it today.
"It’s terrible. It’s a terrible part of hockey. It’s not hockey," Jets defenceman Dustin Byfuglien said this morning after his team lost 4-3 to the Tampa Bay Lightning here Friday night.
"It ain’t hockey. It’s ‘Just let the kids play.’ It’s stupid.
"Just keep it four-on-four, five-on-five. Let’s just play hockey."
The Jets dropped to 4-2-1 on the season when Ondrej Palat scored on a three-on-one rush at 36 seconds of Friday’s overtime.
