DENVER – Dustin Byfuglien is almost finished doing the time for his on-ice crime.
Byfuglien will sit out the final game of his four-game suspension tonight against the Colorado Avalanche for his crosscheck to the neck of J.T. Miller of the New York Rangers.
“I wasn’t focused on doing it,” said Byfuglien after today’s game-day skate in Denver. “It was just what happened in the heat of the moment.”
Asked if he was trying to deliver the crosscheck to Miller’s back, not his neck, Byfuglien said: “Yeah. He was falling. It’s simple. It’s right on tape.”
Byfuglien has been with the team during this entire road trip that included stops in Minnesota and St. Louis. He has been visible on and off the ice, quick to offer a slap on the back to a teammate in a post-game media scrum and being vocal during practices.
That said, watching from the press box has been driving him bonkers.
“It’s tough to sit there and watch,” Byfuglien said. “It’s not fun. No one wants to do it. But the boys have played good hockey and (getting into the post season) would be huge for us. It’s another thing we’ve been working hard for.”
