Morrissey still fuming over missing wide-open net vs. Panthers

People watching the Winnipeg Jets play Thursday night likely noticed defenceman Josh Morrissey gazing up to the rafters of the MTS Centre after flubbing what looked like a gimme goal against the Florida Panthers.

Morrissey had joined the rush and was streaking to the net midway through the first period when he was spotted by right-winger Blake Wheeler, who connected on a perfect pass. With Panthers goalie Roberto Luongo caught out of position, Morrissey fired the puck and then threw back his head in complete disbelief when it sailed wide left.
