At about the same time Byfuglien was leaving for the Minnesota woods, then-unsigned and unhappy sniper Patrik Laine complained in Europe about his long-standing deployment on the Jets’ second line, telling a Finnish reporter: “With the merits I have, somewhere else I’d have an opportunity to play with the best players. There are top lines and then there is our line.”
In his second day with the Jets, Sbisa accidentally injured Laine, who immediately left practice and missed two games, although Winnipeg coach Paul Maurice insisted Laine’s medical condition was pre-existing. Top defenceman Josh Morrissey also missed games after colliding during the pre-game warmup with teammate Bitetto.
“I was having dinner with Sbisa last night and it was kind of what we were talking about — everything we’ve been through, even pretty much within every single game. You stay in it long enough and you just fight long enough.” Little was due to be released from hospital on Thursday, but his absence from the Jets is indefinite.“The traumatic part’s over and then you see where you’re at and you go from there,” the coach said after the Jets practised. “He’s in good spirits. One side of his head’s bigger than the other. But he’s good.”“It’s been a great challenge,” Maurice said.
