This won’t come as a thrill many Detroit Red Wings’ fans, quite frankly it will just anger many fans. The fans will always have their favorites. Hence the term fan favorites and Jeff Blashill is not one. I think the compete level the team has shown down the stretch has been the deal breaker and with the team showing the will to trek on without quitting although it’s been a lost season I think has convinced Ken Holland that Blashill deserves to be rewarded.
Something very interesting to consider here, assistant coach Dan Bylsma is under contract for three more seasons and will serve as a security blanket for the organization if Blashill faulters.
