Winnipeg is far from the most exciting place on Earth but I'm kind of surprised by comments like these from the traveling team.

How much time are they really spending in Winnipeg that makes it worth complaining about? They show up, get to the Hotel, eat, sleep, practice, play, cool down and leave.

So Winnipeg may not have much to offer, they just spend more time there. I know some teams budget more time spent in places like Vegas or New York or wherever.

If these comments came from the players who live in Winnipeg I could understand that a bit more because they actually have some downtime, but thats about it.
