It really seemed like Jeff Blashill had been cruising along under the radar. The all-caps calls for his firing have been dwindling since the Red Wings recovered from the brutal beginning of the season and have been kind of fun to watch.
Still painful, but kinda fun, like reluctantly chuckling at your own misfortune after you trip up the stairs and then fumble your keys and then drop your groceries and then bump into the corner of solid furniture and break your 4th favorite glass.
That kind of fun.
Some potential reasons why the fanbase has tapped the brakes?
