VANCOUVER — Conspiracy theorists fishing for something on Dustin Byguflien got no help from head coach Paul Maurice here Wednesday afternoon.
Byfuglien and some of his teammates spent part of Tuesday — an off-day for the NHL club — hauling in some monster sturgeon on the Fraser River.
The defenceman didn't play in Edmonton on Monday because of a lower-body injury and, according to Maurice today, won't join his teammates as they take on the Canucks on Thursday night.
Many in the Twitter world are taking issue with the club's most recognizable star — always a catalyst for consternation among Jets fans — wearing hip-waders and posing with what appears in photos to be about a more-than-two-metre, prehistoric-looking sturgeon.
