that's the fantasy team selected by writers of nhl.com, doesn't mean anything.

 

[TheRocketFlash]

That's correct, just as the title and post suggest...

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

Wheeler and Helle should be picked, but the entire team should go to work on their 3 on 3.

 

[WolfgangPuck]

Well deserved. Chef too if he wasn’t injured

 

[Monkey D Luffy]

Kina hope Helle doesn't get picked. I feel like it might be like the home run competition for goalies.

[Yukon Joe]

Well good on WHeeler and Hellebuyck! Well deserved for both of them.

Wheeler's never been an All-Star before, has he? It's always been one of Ladd or Buff since the Jets return (except for Laine last year).

 

[Afterburner]

Right on good for Wheeler and Helle, well deserved

 

[LucianoBorsato]

Congrats to probably the 2 most deserving Jets (besides Scheifele). Avgard is not gonna be pleased Laine and Armia weren't picked

Jets had the day off but Blake Wheeler spoke about his All-Star selection at the hotel in Chicago.

Great for helly...

After last year.

Wheeler deserves it!

 

[Hobble]

Question is whether Wheeler plays C or RW?

 

[WolfgangPuck]

Congrats to probably the 2 most deserving Jets (besides Scheifele). Avgard is not gonna be pleased Laine and Armia weren't picked

Must be pleased about Rinne selection
There’s a Finn on the team

 

[Skidooboy]

Wheels DESERVES this! sio happy for him and wow!

 

[Channelcat]

Wheelers worked very hard for this. Congrats!

 

[Evil Little]

Two players each for the top four teams, one player each for the bottom three.

that's the fantasy team selected by writers of nhl.com, doesn't mean anything.

Happened to be the team, too.

 

[AlphaLackey]

The "lowest hockey IQ in a hockey captain in history" and the "mentally unstable fruitcake who's rapidly collapsing at .921 and falling and has fallen all the way down to .923" both selected to the all-star game? Imagine that.

 

[Jets 31]

GOOOOO GOOOOO !! And Wheeler . Maybe we will figure the 3 on 3 thing after this .

 

[Brominator]

Helle becomes the first Jets goalie (1.0 and 2.0) to be named to an NHL all star team!

 

[KingBogo]

Congrats to Wheeler and Helly. Both well deserved!

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

Wheeler is having a great season. He should be in consideration for some awards at season's end.

I bet Mark Messier decides Mark Wheeler deserves his award, in the stupidest award the NHL has.

 

[SoCalJetsFan]

Kudos to Wheels and Helly - well deserved and will actually make the event worth watching

 

[Afterburner]

So awesome and so deserved for Helle and Wheeler
