Has the seat cooled? When the season started, Jeff Blashill was listed as a coach who could be among the first to be fired in the NHL. Starting the season 0-7-2 did not help his cause. The recent play of the Detroit Red Wings has definitely cooled the fans screaming for change.
First off Blashill was supposed to be the developmental coach and one to help transition the rebuilding Wings into a younger more athletic team to regroup for another run at and in the playoffs. That is by and large precisely what he is. He seems to understand his roll in the organization.
