    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

    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

    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.
