After taking a hit, and falling awkwardly against the Montreal Canadiens, Blake Wheeler’s season appears to have come to an end. Wheeler was put on LTIR, and will not return to the Rangers lineup without a miracle. With Blake being 37 years old, is this the end of his NHL career?

What is YOUR favourite Blake Wheeler memory?
Besides the memory-lane aspect of this story, this injury is just another piece of narrative that contributes to 'Chevy the Master Planner' type narrative – I mean, it was SLIIIGHTLY controversial to buy Blake out, losing money and then watch as BW plays on the first line of a cup contender. But once again, somehow, Chevy just appears to be the perfect horse trader, just knowing exactly when to hold 'em, when to fold 'em, time the moves, buy players out, wait out other GMs.
To be honest, this is the only past Jets player I keep tabs on, and watch his game. This really does suck…
Wheels and his family have been friends of friends for a long time. He's a true gentleman. Wish him all the best. Such a warrior!
Wheeler worked his ass off to earn the C in Winnipeg. He lost some teeth in a mid-season game against the oilers. That’s how he played. ❤
It's ironic that the Rangers and the Jets have the very same points percentage as of the time of publication.
Closer to retirement
This will be retirement
I absolutely love Wheeler. This really sucks. Personally, I can't see him coming back from this.
He gave his prime years and a ball for this team. Will always be a Jet
News Flash ! Blake Wheeler was done 5 years ago
That was hard to watch. Blake was a big part of the Jets 2.0 and a quality guy. All the best Blake. hope it's not the end of the line.
If this is the last time we see Wheels on ice, this is a very tough ending for his career. I wish him a speedy recovery, man this is unfortunate.
I thought he was playing pretty well the last 10-15 games or so….i think he could have one or 2 seasons left in him…as a 3rd/4th liner on a cheap cap hit
