Blake Wheeler On Losing His Captaincy, Leaving Winnipeg, Life In New York And More
#NHL #Jets #Rangers
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!
❤
My Jets jersey still has the big C with Wheeler on the back. Take it or leave it, he was a hell of a player on the ice and a gentleman off it. Hope to see Blake in blue and white again someday
Thank you for the many years Wheeler!! All the best to you and your family!
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.
I watched pretty much every game you played for the Jets and nobody ever came up to you on the street to say you didn't play as hard as you could because they couldn't, you ALWAYS gave 100% Blake. That's a fact! The way you did your job even when you lost the C says everything about your character sir. No Wpg Jet player should ever wear #26 again!
its a shame Wheels couldant retire as a jet, but the team is better now, cheering for the jets tonight to win, but also to see Wheels get a goal
EVERYBODY LOVE EVERYBODY!
You never know
Heyy its telenko
How dare they
Blake will be missed
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 Miss ya Captain Wrench
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 Blake wheeler - a winnipegger
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.
thanks for everything wheels
❤
I hate that no one ever actually says anything in these interviews.
Didn't this man almost SACrifice a testicle for this team at one point?
Twice
@@BM_2002twice how? I thought he literally lost one or it became useless last year.
@@sibbyeskie Game 3 vs Edmonton and the Nashville game last year
best captain we've had thus far
Almost everybody ends their career in New York.
Rangers love former stars in their late 30s, lol.
Wheeler has always been a class act on and off the ice
Tell the NHL I want my Saskatoon NHL team Sask deserves it
I wonder if he’s happy for Lowery that he’s captain
But ya Jets , Wild , Golden Knights , New york need to make 2 round playoffs at least
I'll give it all to Beatrice and Zara then I'll just ask them haha
Beatrice and Zara they Cool I trust them they know I don't care haha Jets
Big zyn guy Blake wheeler
Is he really lol
@@MikeHoncho610 6:48 look at his pocket
So Chevy took the C away against Blakes wishes.
Only time the guy smiles about Winnipeg is after he no longer has to live & play there, lol.
If only he didn't chase Laine away he would be making 8mill still
If Laine's work ethic wasn't crap Wheeler wouldn't have been hard on him
Didnt him and Mark get jealous of Laines popularity, then bullied him off the team.
Laine was a Lazy, Sloppy, Unfocused, Quiet-Quit Prima Donna and needed to be held accountable. Same as Evander Kane in Wpg
@@glenholmgren1218 You're not allowed to criticize Laine, Jets fans still think he's the next Maurice Richard that we let walked.
@@glenholmgren1218You are the only here who are lazy and a diva
@@BM_2002And we are not allowed to criticise the overrated Wheeler because you thought he was the best captain who ever played in Nhl and we left him walked. 😂
