from Shawn Windsor of the Detroit Free Press,
...here are the Wings, two games from season’s end – they finish with consecutive games in Columbus this weekend – pushing themselves all over the ice as if there were something for which to play.
Actually, there is.
Don’t forget this.
Whether contracts or momentum or pride or love of the game, this group is fighting. Again, Blashill deserves some credit for this.
It wouldn’t be a stretch for Yzerman to extend Blashill’s contract another season or two. It’s not like the Wings are going to compete for the Cup anytime soon anyway.
