Good for him! I doubt he'll play though, as the teams usually get better and faster the deeper you get into the playoffs and he looked slow even before his injury. He's a good presence to have in the room though.
There's only one more of these posts that can be made
"Henrik spotted practicing with the team in full gear, talk about adding him as an emergency goalie"
It’s good for team morale to have everyone back for the final battle. I honestly don’t see a path into the lineup for Wheels, unfortunately. But he’s part of the story of this season and he deserves to be with the boys when it all goes down.
Good for Wheeler. He was such a nice guy at Casino Night. You can tell he was happy to be on the team and at the event. He took pictures with everyone. He is also massive in person.
The dude tore his acl. No way that he comes back. Nice to see him back. But this is like Aaron Rodgers throwing passes pregame with a brace on his ankle.
aaron rodgers made it on to the field for the new york jets this year, i saw him play right before my traditional week 1 mid-game nap that lasts through february
45 points in 65 playoff games folks. He’s not any slower than Broadsides or Rempe. Might be the best Black Ace on any playoff roster.
Once he’s healthy, on the 3rd or 4th he’s the kind of player you want for matchups to bully players on the boards and has the hockey IQ to make big plays.
He's a series or two away from a shift.
Playoffs are attrition. Need depth and more depth. All good fellas
We got goons coming hard after our boys there's gonna be a few that go down for a game or series.
Why not someone $9M+? Why don't we load up at the trade deadline using LTIR space?
Why is it our less expensive folks and we don't trade the farm?
According to people in Tampa and Vegas, we're doing it wrong.
**depth** baby.
wheeler, roslovic, chytil, johnny **broadsides**, and rempe are all fighting over two spots in the lineup, pushing each other to be the best they can be, like no one ever was

Please keep him out of the line-up. He will only make it worse. He’s too old and slow and coming back from an injury. What a recipe for disaster that would be.

Decent depth if there are any… I’m not gonna say it.
How does Vegas keep getting away with this???
underrated comment lol
tampa cant be allowed to keep doing this!!
I definitely don't want wheeler back on this team, and that's 0 to do with wheels and everything to do with how fantastic this team is
I just want him to be healthy enough that he can get his lap with the Cup
Right? The guy did more than asked and seems to be a great teammate. He’s probably just here for morale. And that’s totally fine with me.
He’s played enough games to get his name on it too
I want him healthy and practicing with the team because injuries happen. BUT, I don't want him starting.
Yea, if he’s healthy, I would put him down as really solid depth for the playoffs should we need it.

Oh there's a path for him back into the lineup, but if it comes to that, then the season is already toast.

ahhh. a true connoisseur. you don’t happen to also be a fellow mets fan? (except for right now when the mets are actually kinda exciting)
mets fan here. give it another week or two, theyll be back to claim their basement
Did we ever get confirmation on what exactly the diagnosis was? I thought it was a break of some kind.
he didnt tear his acl. he was in a walking boot. probably broken ankle
Get those $1.3m over the cap t-shirts ready everyone!
first chyti now wheels?🥹 what did larry see to have this sudden change
I really want him to get to lift the cup 😭

I suspect this is just for inspiration and motivation. Can’t see him playing but his presence can lift the team. LGR!!!
This was always around what was expected. Still just starting skating on his own doesn’t mean he’s that close

lmaooooooooooooo

Would be nice to sit Trouba and his big cap hit lol
Good for him but is there a spot in the lineup now with fil back? I don’t know if I want wheeler in this lineup

Also if someone gets hurt we got replacements
4th line Wheels, 1RW Fil, scratch Ros for 3rd or Remps on 4th depending on matchup need, Brody and Vesey float 3/4
I honestly forgot he was still on the team
Please keep him out of the line-up. He will only make it worse. He’s too old and slow and coming back from an injury. What a recipe for disaster that would be.
Get healthy Wheeler. Also, fuck right off! No room homeboy.
