Blashill Makes His Mark

So what are we looking at here? A stop-gap as we wait for Datsyuk and Helm?

Or is this a "new era"?

Don't answer that, yet. We'll discuss. First, though, you deserve an answer on a trickier, stickier wicket.

It's really very simple and I can't believe you pharmacists haven't figured it out yet. Tick Tock doesn't know how to pronounce Andreas Athanasiou, so he sent him down. Dan Cleary (or "Danny" as the diggers took to calling him three years ago, about the same time he had his last meaningful shift as a Red Wing) stays because his name rolls right off the tongue and right to the press box.
