Sharks: Cold, dark Winnipeg is worst NHL city to play in

If the San Jose Sharks had their way, they would've skipped Sunday's game against the Winnipeg Jets.

That's because Tomas Hertl, Justin Braun, and Tim Heed all consider Winnipeg the worst city in which to play, per NBC Sports California.

"I think it's Winnipeg cause every time it's so cold and dark there," said Hertl. "I don't like it there."

Meanwhile, Braun feels the city's infrastructure is lacking.

"Winnipeg. Dark. Cold. Hotel is a little questionable," said Braun. "Internet doesn't work ever. I don't know if they have wifi there yet."

The fact the Jets thumped the Sharks 4-1 on Sunday - just after the video was posted - likely didn't change the minds of the players.
