Wheeler with the hat as the Bruins roll...
I listened to this game on my XM radio on my trip back from Duluth yesterday and I have to say that I am shocked on Blake Wheeler's play so far, because he wasn't all that dominating of a player in the WCHA. As a Bruins fan I was skeptical of his signing by the Bruins. That being said he is like second on the Bruins in goals.

Wheeler was always a talented right winger, but with the Gophers, he was asked to play center which is outside his natural abilities. Also, if the Gophers had paired him with a legitimate playmaker, he would have been able to show more. Wheeler is very similar to a Ryan Stoa, whom also needs a legitimate playmaker (Schroeder) and needs to play his natural position in order to be successful.
