This was yesterday, but the Freep put up a story about how Yzerman is playing 4D chess with the Blashill decision behind a paywall and I’m not paying for that kind of bucket-carrying.

Steve Yzerman said he’d be quick about meeting with his coach, Jeff Blashill, after the Detroit Red Wings’ season ended. He did not say he’d be quick about deciding Blashill’s fate. This shouldn’t surprise anyone. Yzerman can’t be rushed. It served him well as a player, where he used his patience to set up his explosive attacks
The nature of an NHL season is trial and error.

These “things” I’m referring to can be line combinations, styles of

General manager Steve Yzerman had patched the lineup with no-risk, savvy signings, and a 10-month layoff had distanced the Wings from the calamity that was 2019-20, when they won just 17 times in 71 games and finished in last place, 23 points

They went tough, tabbing two of the hardest hitters – Jared McIsaac and Seider – in their respective draft classes. They went mobile with a trio of strong

It’s that time of the year…again. Is it bad that I’m becoming numb to missing the playoffs? Probably. Am I glad we aren’t floundering in the first round year after year? Definitely. Do I still hunger for playoff action? Without a doubt. The 2021 Stanley Cup Playoffs start today. For fans of hockey, this is

Hindsight can hurt. During the 2016 NHL Entry Draft, Ken Holland traded back on the Red Wings’ first-round pick, moving Pavel Datsyuk’s contract while securing an additional second-round pick in the process. With the extra picks, he drafted Dennis Cholowski and Filip Hronek and used the extra cap space to sign Frans Nielsen. This move

These evaluations can be the difference between a player starting on the opening night roster or ending up on the waiver wire.
