They’re making it too easy now.
And that’s the hard part for Jeff Blashill when it comes to his future as the Red Wings’ head coach.
Yet even if it feels like he’s fighting a losing battle on multiple fronts now, with another embarrassing defeat on everyone’s mind and a fanbase itching for something different near the end of the coach’s seventh season in Detroit, Blashill insists the message won’t change. It can’t change, he says. Not if this franchise is going to get through this tedious rebuild and back to the playoffs, where the Red Wings once made a happy home.
