Wings’ Blashill ‘100 percent’ confident of playoff return | The Detroit News
Gregg Krupa had a sit-down with Blashill and the Red Wings' coach talked bluntly about improving in the NHL, his defense, and the last two years' arbitration negotiations. Don't let the headline bug you, he doesn't really spend that much time talking about the team's chances of making the playoffs (and I don't think anybody would want a coach who would sit down with a reporter and say "I think we're going to stink" anyway).
Honestly, it's a decently promising sell from Blashill because it includes an admission that DeKeyser isn't capable of anchoring the first pair, which has basically been one of the team's biggest problems the last two years.
