NASHVILLE — News? Dustin Byfuglien didn’t spill a whole lot of that today at the NHL All-Star media day at Bridgestone Arena.
Personality? That came flowing out of the Winnipeg Jets defenceman today like it rarely does.
Byfuglien was asked what he thought the difference would be between the NHL’s new regular-season-overtime format of five minutes versus the 20-minute three-on-three games between the division scheduled for here on Sunday.
"A hidden bagger," he laughed out loud, clearly intimating a conditioning conspiracy by the NHL’s coaches.
At his fourth all-star game, Byfuglien had numerous questions about his contract situation during a 25-minute back and forth with reporters.
