Scheifele asked about his snub. Has 1.2 PPG on a pretty bad Jets team, the most points of anyone who missed the team. At 32, I doubt he gets another chance at Olympic gold.
Quote:
"Yeah, it sucked. Pretty dark day," Scheifele told reporters after the visiting Jets lost 6-5 to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday night.
"It's hard to think about now after kind of turning the page to this morning. Obviously, it was a tough day. News you don't want. But it just shows the amount of talent in Canada, so many great hockey players, so many great guys."
"I don't know what else I could have done (to make Team Canada)," Scheifele said. "I'm proud of the way I've played all season until now. I think I've probably played the best hockey I've ever played in my career."
