Predictions regarding Blashill's future?
My prediction: he's done. Should've been dismissed a year ago.

Re: Predictions regarding Blashill's future?
I think they "promote" him to the front office. He's been a good soldier for the organ-eye-zation, first in Grand Rapids and then in Detroit.
It is time for new voices behind the bench.

Wellllll... la de frickin da
Re: Predictions regarding Blashill's future?
60/40 that he's done. It depends on if Yzerman has someone he likes better. The team improved from last year, but the offense needs to improve. I don’t see a homerun hire, but given the results, it's crazy that Blashill is the third longest tenured.
What's more pathetic: harassing an old man who is paying to do a radio show or supporting a grifter like Trump?

Interesting theory, and depending on the role, I might have no issue with that.I think they "promote" him to the front office. He's been a good soldier for the organ-eye-zation, first in Grand Rapids and then in Detroit.
Gerard Gallant is probably on the short list to succeed Blashill, if Blashill indeed is removed from his head coaching duties. Gallant's track record as a head coach is a mixed bag (more good than bad), and he does have the extremely impressive distinction of taking the Golden Knights all the way to the Stanley Cup Finals in their inaugural season.
The way the Florida Panthers treated Mr. Gallant was shameful.

Re: Predictions regarding Blashill's future?
Ken Holland fucked over this organization so bad...
Choosing Howard over Mrazek AND feeding bullshit to lapdog beat writers about Mrazek was terrible.
Also, signing the likes of Abdelkader and Nielson to long term deals really hurt the franchise.

Re: Predictions regarding Blashill's future?
I won't miss him. I cannot pretend to predict what the Wings will do. Getting rid of Mantha was a shock for me.
They/them, non-binary and proud.
Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

Fire Jeff Blashill been saying that for years Stevie Y should hire his guy now and get rid of Hollands lapdog Blashill.

Re: Predictions regarding Blashill's future?
Blashill is back, and I like the decision: https://www.nhl.com/redwings/news/jeff- ... -324799146

Do you really think a new coach would have changed the timeline?

Maybe; maybe not.
Chris Ilitch is cheap; that much I know.

Re: Predictions regarding Blashill's future?
Blashill had an expired contract. How is giving him a new contract cheap? There would have been no penalty for bringing in someone new. The decision was Yzerman's.MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Tue May 18, 2021 7:53 pmMaybe; maybe not.

Re: Predictions regarding Blashill's future?
Why does Blashill still have a job? All this does is delay the rebuild.

Re: Predictions regarding Blashill's future?
It's cheap because Blashill was only making $1.6 mill a year, and this appears to be a short term extension at similar money.
Any big free agency signings for either the Wings or Tigers lately?
