The Winnipeg Jets found the perfect cover to get away from the dire scenario that faces them for Wednesday’s Game 4 of their first-round Stanley Cup playoff series against the Anaheim Ducks.
The Ducks lead 3-0.
After a few of his teammates answered questions about their predicament today, Jets defenceman Dustin Byfuglien appeared in front of reporters after his team’s morning meeting and chose to answer every question he was asked with the phrase "we’ve got to stick together as a team."
That matter was brought to Jets head coach Paul Maurice. It's entirely possible he welcomed the distraction and decided to spar with reporters over Byfuglien’s choice.
