NHL playoffs 2019: Jets' Blake Wheeler uses colorful language with press after loss to Blues image

Getting eliminated from the playoffs isn't fun and Jets' winger Blake Wheeler made that clear to the media after Winnipeg's 3-2 loss to the Blues on Saturday night. 

"F— off. Please, come on, man," Wheeler said when he was asked what went wrong after the game. "This is a tough trophy to win. Maybe our best just wasn't good enough today. And their best was pretty darn good."

The 11-year veteran's frustration is understandable: he posted just five points (one goal, four assists) in the six-game series after leading the Jets in the regular season with 91 points (20 goals, 71 assists).
