If any Detroit players didn't receive the message the Wings roster was wide open, they certainly did after the first five days of training camp at Centre Ice Arena.
In what can only be described as agony on ice, the Red Wings were put through a rigorous on ice and off ice regime, which left player's exhausted, but aware this is a transitional year in Detroit.
Head coach Jeff Blashill has repeatedly said the Red Wings need to be tougher to play against, they need to make the opponents feel miserable for a full sixty minutes.
