Blashill Is Back

Unread post by Bryce »

Steve Yzerman has confirmed that Jeff Blashill will return for his sixth season as head coach for The Detroit Red Wings.

This tells me that they are going to have a lot of young players and it most certainly is going to be another poor on ice effort dubbed as a "Rebuilding Year."
New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

Incredibly long time for him to have lasted regardless of the lack of talent.

Why not? Do you really blame Blashill for Holland's incompetence? Is there anyone that can immediately turn the team around?

You don't fire someone just to fire them. You have to have a plan. Whatever next season looks like will dictate whether Blashill is a long term solution or a stopgap.

Jeff Blashill needs to be fired even know no matter who the Redwings coach is would have a hard time with the roster.

Since Babcock's departure, the Wings under Blashill have done nothing. The Wings waited way to long to rebuild and not Blashill's fault but the optics say another mediocre season on the horizon.Not a positive to be able to fill seats at the LCA.

I was really surprised that the Wings didn't go after DJ Smith an asst. coach with Babcock in Toronto before Ottawa took him.I think Smith would have been a good fit and a new voice in the room.

Disappointed...
