Winnipeg Jets fans apparently weren’t done getting their pound of flesh after the end of Connor Hellebuyck’s return to the Canada Life Centre on Tuesday. Devils television play-by-play announcer Don La Greca revealed on his ESPN New York radio show on Wednesday that he was walking back to the team hotel with the broadcast crew as fans yelled at them looking for Hellebuyck, the American gold medalist who requested a trade after 11 years in Winnipeg and was dealt to New Jersey last month. “You felt it, you felt the energy in that building and the hatred they had for — we walked back to the hotel, there were fans following us, screaming at us, ‘Is this where Hellebuyck is?’ Because they knew we were the Devils announcers.
