Blake Wheeler went through quite the summer in 2010. He worked out a new contract with the Bruins, was the subject of recurring trade rumors and became a husband. Now, Wheeler will get a short vacation in early 2011 as the All-Star break looms. For the respite, he'll be returning home to small-town Minnesota, where he played baseball and football as well as hockey growing up. He spoke to Kathryn Tappen about Minnesota, Boston and maturing as a Bruin over the past couple of years on this week's The Big Bad Bruins Show. See their conversation above.
