Easily one of the worst captains in NHL, if not the worst.
thanks for everything wheels
Almost everybody ends their career in New York.
Great interview, thanks Christine! Love Wheels, best Jets to lace em up for us. Going to be weird seeing him in Rangers white and blue, instead of Jets colours!
Only time the guy smiles about Winnipeg is after he no longer has to live & play there, lol.
As a Jets fan, I loved watching him play and I appreciate the fact he did so much in the community. Thank you Blake!
Big zyn guy Blake wheeler
Thank you for the many years Wheeler!! All the best to you and your family!
Didn't this man almost SACrifice a testicle for this team at one point?
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 Miss ya Captain Wrench
So Chevy took the C away against Blakes wishes.
I hate that no one ever actually says anything in these interviews.
Wheeler has always been a class act on and off the ice
Didnt him and Mark get jealous of Laines popularity, then bullied him off the team.
This was an amazing interview. It was a definite surprise to see Blake Wheeler as a New York Ranger back on Saturday when I was watching the Canucks vs Rangers game on TV this past Saturday night.
What a lame-ass interview.
Manitoba was lucky to have Wheeler. Thanks for your time bud
as a huge Jets fan, definitely appreciate all that Wheelers done for the team and the community! Thanks Wheels for all the memories
Thank you for a good interview. Wheels, you will always be our captain; it is hard to see him as a Ranger. You will always be a WPG jet in our hearts and the community. Jets forever.
If only he didn't chase Laine away he would be making 8mill still
