The Red Wings’ official announcement of the Alex Tanguay hiring is below with some very good background on the hire. The best news out of this is the relative offensive and power play numbers Tanguay’s prior team were able to put up, considering the new guy is here to replace outgoing Dan Bylsma as Jeff Blashill’s assistant. Bylsma was famously in charge of a Red Wings power play that has been laughably bad for years.
It’s not entirely clear whether Bylsma’s “mutual separation” from the team was a result of the ass-bad numbers his special teams put up or a loss of patience with the opportunity to become the team’s interim coach, but either way I’m glad he’s gone.
