Detroit Red Wings forward Anthony Mantha discusses his communication with coach Jeff Blashill this season. Recorded Tuesday, April 10.
As Anthony Mantha prepares for the offseason, he does so with a renewed understanding of how important he is to the Red Wings’ rebuilding plans.
Mantha met Tuesday morning with head coach Jeff Blashill in his office at Little Caesars Arena. Blashill’s message to Mantha: come back meaner, because it will make a bigger impact.
“He said more grit,” Mantha said. “That’s something I’ll have to work.”
To that end, he’s going to explore boxing.
