WINNIPEG — I don’t dislike Winnipeg because of its weather or anything else. I dislike Winnipeg when I’m working because it has no Uber or any other customer-service-savvy car service. Taking the long way in a smoke-lathered cab while the driver is talking or texting on his cell phone makes me wish I was finishing this seven-game road trip someplace else. Nevertheless, I LOVE Canada and the beers will be cold after Monday’s Central Division-clash against the Jets.
