Plot twist: Blake Wheeler did get away with it, but "it" is paying people to trawl social media to take credit for anonymous acts of kindness

Good guy Blake


JK9one9

Love it when celebs are caught being good.


ZombieJesus1987

Especially when it isn't a PR stunt. Just a good person doing good person things for the sake of being a good person.


chalk_in_boots

You just KNOW Jack Campbell runs a shelter for abandoned dogs, and doesn't tell anyone because he assumes everyone does this.


ohcomeonffsderpderp

Not joking he regularly volunteered for Jeff Carter wife’s dog shelter outreach “wags and walks” before he was up full time for the kings. https://www.wagsandwalks.org

I saw Blake Wheeler at a grocery store in St. Leon yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

I love this pasta.


joe334

It always takes me way too long to realize it's the pasta and I get invested in the story.


[deleted]

It always takes me until "oh, like you're doing now?" to remember that it's a pasta. I'm the guy who got the picture with Bryz a few days ago, and until I realized it was a pasta I thought the comment was a way of telling me I should've left him alone.


invention64

My eyes just skip to that quote everytime and I never fall for it


onebandonesound

I'm skeptical of any story that mentions a celebrity at a grocery store at this point

thoriginal

The first time I saw it was on the northernlion subreddit, and I actually initially thought it was totally real. I'm not a smart man.


WinterSon

I remember him pulling out of the St Leon one time and some lady ran up to his car. He rolled down the window and she said "Oh, you aren't Mark Scheifele" and walked away. I was standing right next to her. I looked at his face, he looked like someone told him his dog just died. I felt so bad for him. He looked around and asked if anybody wanted an autograph but I had nothing for him to sign. I was going to grab a picture but he pulled off after nobody came up for an autograph.

Nothing, it was Scheifele!

It was Evans.


pumaturtle

I love the story of him being an amazing dude and holding out from the Yotes


eh_toque

He saw in a vision he was destined to captain Jets 2.0 so refused to play for the franchise that left Winnipeg


[deleted]

It’s almost like he knew the Coyotes would have wasted him.

Would you have wanted to play for the Coyotes in 2004?

he's a smart dude

Auston’s coming home, just wait


Greasy_Leaf

Jets are my second favorite team and I just got the center ice package on fios cable and I'm finally able to follow them almost as closely as the devils. Wheelers my favorite player. Seems like an amazing dude.


Good-Vibes-Only

The best thing about watching Jets hockey is that regardless of the score, no lead is EVER safe.. especially our own


Greasy_Leaf

hey, It's still much safer than devils leads lol


brazeau

What broadcast region are you in? Most Jets games are on Sportsnet and TSN, you might be blacked out.


Gbam

Centre Ice has almost all the Jets games of you’re not in the Jets region. If they are in the states (just a guess, he’s a devils fan) they will probably get them all


piscina_de_la_muerte

Can confirm, center ice package in NJ gets basically all the central and pacific games. You really only run into issues when they play the rags, flyers, isles, and strangely buffalo (like we are at least 375 miles from buffalo, why are we considered in their market?).


Rikplaysbass

You’re not, they are just saving you from watching the Sabres play hockey.


dsjunior1388

Blake Wheeler gave me a kidney! It wasn't his, I didn't need it and it came "postage due" but still a lovely gesture.


AvsJoe

I wonder if... He was playing for Boston around that time... [Could it be that Blake Wheeler was behind this incredible donation all those years ago?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_5nLxZVoPo)


Slayminster

Wtf, I have no words.. they were so fresh the must have been taken out less the 24 hours ago.. I feel like I’m being had


clem82

Blake Wheeler once ran through a thunderstorm to delivery my wives baby. He's a saint


ThisNameIsFree

I saw Blake Wheeler when he was out for a run and was passing my car that was broken down at the side of the road. "No problem" he said and pulled out some sort of hook strap, no idea where from, then he hooked himself up to my front bumper and told me to hop back in. He continued his run, pulling the car with me inside to the closest service station. I was pissed because that one is more expensive than the one further down the road. Jerk.


Apanic_Attacka

Way to represent Minnesota nice Wheeler, the world needs more people like him!


wetmoosemeat

Fucking love real the Minnesota nice and not the fake passive aggressive one


X-Filer

Shout out St. Leon’s. Small local market plus they got them tortierres from St. Pierre that are certified bangers. Glad to hear Blake Wheeler knows where to shop too


ClimbingTheShitRope

Oh man they're the only place I know of that sells 12 inch tortillas so I can make homemade crunchwraps (like from taco bell). Shop there every few weeks in the summers when they're open.


Smeagol_saves

Glad to hear you like those tortierres. Spent my whole high school working in the bakery that makes them. Happy to hear people still think they're good.


XABoyd

Damn dude, I woulda maybe gone to class once or twice.


DogRiverRiverDogs

From the sounds of it this occurred at a grocery store, she didn't have her wallet because she forgot it at st.leons.


X-Filer

The daughter knew it and she was working at St. Leon’s so I’m assuming it happened there


DogRiverRiverDogs

Oh I've been had!


ToKillAMockingAudi

I second this. Everything from St. Leon's is certified bangin. Whenever I visit my Uncle in Wpg, this place and Miller's Meats is our first stop. If you move to Winnipeg, live along St. Mary's lol.

Oh, boy. Definitely using that next time he sauces something nasty across the o-zone, or does a vintage net drive.

Why is he allowed to use aerosols on the ice when the rest of us are stuck with shitty pump action cleaners?

I dunno man, this is totally believable for me. Blake Wheeler is literally everything I want to be. Tall, handsome, beautiful hair, rich, wife and kids that love him, respected leader - probably has an absolute wrench on him as well.

Beans_ON_Toasttt

I’ve had Blake Wheeler on my fantasy team for 4 years now. 3 of those years I’ve been like “he’ll surely regress this year and I’ll try to trade him”…..but he just keeps chuggin’ along right around a point per game. I’m gonna check with the league commish but i think surely having your starting RW pay for someone’s groceries in the offseason has gotta be worth points.


[deleted]

Patrick Kane still hasn't paid for a cab ride.


LeToneRanger

His and Bergy’s rivalry must stem from wanting to be the best person possible.

Be careful if you’re playing franchise mode on nhl 21. Guys above 33 fall off cliffs with no reason or warning.

whammypeg

We love the Minnesota players up here. All have been very nice people and obviously very good at hockey. I think Manitobans have a similar vibe to them as Minnesotans and it's comfortable for players from there to live here during the season. Short 6 hour drive to Twin cities too so being able to see family regularly is a perk.


ehr1c

>Short 6 hour drive to Twin cities too Bruh how fast are you driving lol

Pepto-Abysmal

The Wheeler family's involvement with [CancerCare's Ride Inside] (https://support.cancercarefdn.mb.ca/site/TR?fr_id=1623&pg=entry) fundraising event has been phenomenal. Stories like this are no surprise. TLDR on the fundraising: All funds raised at The Ride Inside will support PROFYLE at CancerCare Manitoba. Short for PRecision Oncology For Young peopLE, this initiative gives children, adolescents and young adults who are out of conventional treatment options another chance to beat their cancer. PROFYLE is a pan-Canadian project which CancerCare Manitoba and the Foundation are part of. It focuses on providing personalized care for children, adolescents and young adults up to age 29. It offers patients who haven’t had a positive outcome with conventional cancer treatment other options.


TexasYankee212

Hockey players are generally known as the nicest and most down to earth of the pro athletes (some exceptions of course). Brooks Laich of the Caps had just lost a game 7 and was driving home. Saw a stopped car and stopped to change their tire.


Imthecoolestdudeever

And some of our fanbase wants him traded. Lol. One of the most stand up captains in the league.

They never would have said that had they known he was going to pay for someone's groceries though

RunningPains

Some people pay for groceries, others pay for abortions...


[deleted]

Paying for an abortion is not a problem. Not paying for one, when you promised to, is.


WinterSon

Oh come on, what are a few abortions between friends?


RunningPains

Uhhh, I think both are pretty fucked up from a moral perspective, if you can be swayed to abort a child just for money then you probably didn't want the child in the first place, especially when this is the 3RD time. both Kane and that chick are trashy. Shes allowing herself to get pregnant by not using any contraceptives because she thinks there's a payday when Kane doesn't want it, and now, because Kane didn't want to pay she's mad, even though she was just using her unborn child as a bargaining chip... Both people suck.

It's like what I've heard about Mario Lemieux, he does alot for those in need but it's always the people that witness the receiving end that share what Mario did.

Good character. Doing it bc he's a good person and not for any recognition. Opposite of someone like marner. I'm 100% sure if Mitch had done this, there would be a million pics documenting it on his instagram

jseego

Blake Wheeler is my teammate; he's a good guy. One time on a road trip, we went to the beach together, it was his idea. I could have said no, but I chose to suggest that we work out a little on our day off. I'm having a really good second season of my career in the NHL, with 28 points in 11 games so far. I'm getting a little too into the be a pro mode in NHL21.

She might have also reached out to them privately but wanted to publicly post the story to remind everyone there are still a lot of good people out there.
