Blake! Wishing you all the best!!
You were my favourite player and always will be!
So nice to see you on the ice.
Wish I could of met you !
Wish you and your family all the best!
26 was a good Captain. Led by example on the ice and his philanthropy. In the locker room? perhaps he said it best "maybe show him (Lows) what not to do".
Rumor has it buff beat up wheels after the 2018 season
His effort on the ice was always exemplary.
Great interview 👍😁
Great stuff IC! Hope you have a good night. Just not good enough to win
God I miss him on the jets
You can tell Winnipeg is emotional for him
Not often the visiting team gets so much attention by Winnipeg sports media.
True. It was tight in there.
More background noise next time
Should we have asked the players to be quiet? Reality is visitors room is small and when it’s a big media draw there’s gonna be noise.
Thought Rangers might have brought him to the backdrop outside the room where coach speaks but team decides that and they chose in locker room.
Sure wish you would still be wearing the jets jersey and have been able to retire as a Winnipeg Jet.
