Steve Yzerman has been here before. He’s pulled a franchise out of the gutter and brought them to the top of the NHL, both as a player and an executive. Now he’s at a familiar crossroad in Detroit and last time he was at a similar intersection, he ended up kicking the right Guy to the curb. Can he do it again?
I could go on some long-winded rant about the state of the Red Wings and how we got to this point, but I’m not going to. I could sit here and rattle off hundreds of words about why I think Jeff Blashill is a bad coach, but I’m not going to do that either.
