  1. Time to move on from wheeler and schieffle . Same shit every year. Enough is enough

  2. Sad bc he did have a decent series however its not about him! The team as a whole was as Bones said disappointing and DISGUSTING!

  3. Pretty easy to see why he had the ‘C’ stripped from him. Zero accountability. Nobody believes the team wasn’t fully aware of how Bones felt about their collapse and failure this season.

  4. Sorry Blake but it absolutely needed to be said the way Rick said it. He was asked his comments and he gave them as he saw it rather than making comments that hide the real issues going on. Nothing wrong with that. I think his comments were spot on, from what I was seeing anyway.

  5. Does Blake think the fans do not have eyes? Bones just said what everyone saw.

    I also see he is back to not wearing a Jets hat and promoting his own bullshit.

  6. What an absolute baby. Grow up.

    I love Blake Wheeler. I do believe he’s given everything during his time here. But the game has passed him by.
    Is he worth 8 1/4. No. But if you take his contracts as a whole and average them out over his career it’s value for money. Deployment was the issue. Not talent and effort.

    But these comments are the delusions of a man who has lost touch with how the real world works.

  7. His interview bothered me – later in the interview he was asked if Bones let him know his feelings in Jan/Feb/Mar and he said “I don’t know”. Everyone absolutely knows Bones had into them at least a little down that stretch. No judgement on this, but if being a dad is the most important thing, retire.

  8. Blake Wheeler is one of the reasons why the Jets tanked, as well as a few other players. What a self centered jerk. When you don’t perform, there are consequences and if you can’t take criticism, maybe it’s time to hang up the skates. Oh wait, he has a big fat guaranteed contract so why be accountable.

    Bones said what needed to be said and the slackers needed to be called out. This problem started long before Bowness, and he had the balls to call them out.

    But we all know what happened to Wheeler’s balls.

  9. Down vote me to hell but he’s trying to stick up for his mates that are probably feeling pretty bad. Hate to break it to you guys but he doesn’t give a fuck what the fans think. He cares about his mates.

    That being said bones had every right to go up and make an honest statement after the loss.

  10. I find it funny that he is pretending like he didn’t know how Bones felt and or it wasn’t conveyed to them when it clearly was even back in Jan (this wasn’t the first time Bones came out like this to media either as he did so after the break though not as candid)

    Let’s just move on from this core, enough is enough, doing the same thing over and over expecting different results and all that, insanity.

  11. JEKYLL AND HYDE, JERTS OR JETS you never know who is coming to play on any given night! I truly believe not appointing a captain this year was a BIG mistake! Players didn’t have anyone in the trenches leading and kicking their deserved asses! 55 with an A, the laziest Jets, would you listen to him!? The on ice leadership was NEVER there this year and needs to be resolved. Lowry for Captain would be a WICKED start. My 4 cents a forever fan…GJG!

  12. there’s a lot to be said about the benefits of an “us against the world” mentality, but Blake takes it too far, and seemingly puts his own coach, and maybe even some of his own teammates, in the “the world” category when things aren’t going great and there’s even the slightest bit of blame coming his way. Closing ranks is counter productive when you’re excluding & dismissing people you need to work with to succeed.

  13. Morrissey also said he didn’t agree with Bowness’ comments. I think Bowness has lost the room. And tbh Dallas fans said when he got the job that he was going to do this (blast the team publicly with no internal support).

  14. No more hiding behind closed doors where you helped toxicity run rampant that lead to an insanely fucked up room Wheels.

    Suck it up and looking forward to walking you in a couple seasons.

  15. Gahhhh from the highs of the WCF to blowing it up with only disappointment in between

  16. Well I didn’t like how you handled it during the game, Wheels. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

  17. These guys have put themselves above the coaches for long enough. It’s not their place to judge his response to their shitty play. Not even shitty play, CONSISTENTLY poor effort for almost 50 games.

  18. Comes as a complete shock, because Bowness went into the room every time they shit the bed after the all star break and said great effort boys! Seriously?

  19. Wheeler just exposed himself in this interview.

    Clearly he’s been an issue with leadership. Bones called it exactly what it was. The truth hurts.
