LAS VEGAS — It’s not the type of question you usually hear in an NHL dressing room.
But inquiring minds certainly wanted to know Friday what Winnipeg Jets captain Blake Wheeler thought about being tickled by Vegas goalie Marc-Andre Fleury. The strange play happened in Game 3 during a scrum around the net.
“Well, I didn’t clean my ears that day, so joke’s on him,” Wheeler said. “I had no idea it happened. At breakfast (Thursday) somebody showed it to me. Like I said, this league’s getting weird. It doesn’t bother me, I thought it was funny.
