Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press answers some fan mail,
First question is in regards to Jeff Blashill...
HSJ: The Wings are playing better this season than last season, even though it doesn’t show in the standings (they’re 15-17-6 with 36 points, while last year after 38 games they were 15-16-7 with 37 points). There’s a better atmosphere in the locker room. Their 1-7-2 start had a lot to do with injuries — look at when the turnaround began, it was when Green joined the lineup after battling a virus. My sense from talking to people in the organization is they like the job Blashill is doing.
