Yesterday we talked about Jeff Blashill’s plan for this Red Wings team being based on speed. This is what he said about his vision for the team’s identity.
“We’ve talked about our identity being relentless and fast, being competitive and detailed. In the fast part obviously speed’s a factor but it’s not everything. It’s mentality, not just how fast you skate but how fast you play, so we try to play as fast as we can and transition hockey. I think that’s our best chance to have lots of success based on the team we have.
