Jeff Blashill on what he expects from his captains The Detroit News
Detroit — When Jeff Blashill peers down at his lineup card Thursday before the Red Wings' season opener against the Columbus Blue Jackets, he’ll see the names of as many as a half-dozen rookies listed. Four of them on defense, perhaps.
“And that’s a lot of unknowns,” he admitted Wednesday. “That doesn’t mean it can’t be great. It just means you’re not sure.”
The same might be said of Blashill as an NHL head coach, at this point.
