USA's Byfuglien on World Cup: 'I didn't enjoy it'
Dustin Byfuglien: Not a fan of the World Cup of Hockey.
The hulking American defenseman joined his Winnipeg Jets teammates at training camp Monday, and didn't mince words when asked about his time in Toronto with Team USA.
"The experience and everything that went on. It is what it is," he said, according to Sportsnet's Sean Reynolds. "You know, I didn't enjoy it."
The Americans went winless at the World Cup, losing all three of their games. They were eliminated from semifinal play after two contests.
Elsewhere, David Backes is at Boston Bruins training camp, and he's still upset about Phil Kessel's now-infamous tweet:
Just sitting around the house tonight w my dog. Felt like I should be doing something important, but couldn't put my finger on it.

Backes chimed in Monday:
Asked about his reaction to Team USA tweets, Backes says that if he weren't picked for a team, he'd remember he's still American
