Wheeler rips Panthers' ice, suggests playing in parking lot
by Craig Hagerman from on (#3A5PV)
With the topic of Seattle expansion running rampant, Winnipeg Jets forward Blake Wheeler instead made the case for a club to relocate Thursday.
After the Jets visited the Florida Panthers, Wheeler criticized the ice conditions at BB&T Center, suggesting the game should've been taken outside.
"We'd be better off going out to the parking lot and playing roller hockey," Wheeler said, according to Brian Blessing of SportsbookRadio.com.
Of course, the hot climate in Florida tends to be a catalyst for poor ice conditions.
