Blake Wheeler calls out own coach for comments made following Jets' elimination

Following the Winnipeg Jets recent elimination from the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs at the hands of the Vegas Golden Knights, coach Rick Bowness expressed disappoint and even disgust in his players.

At least one of Bowness's players isn't at all happy with not only what he said, but how the situation was handled.

Wheeler was stripped of the captaincy of the Winnipeg Jets just before the 2022-23 season began, with the team opting to go without one for the entire year. Wheeler, who is 36, has one year left on his current contract with Winnipeg.
