from Adam Proteau of The Hockey News,
Whatever plan Blashill has isn’t working, and his players aren’t buying into it. Since the NHL shut down for a month in mid-December, Detroit has gone 9-14-3. They’ve lost 11 of their past 17 games (6-10-1), and in that spiral, they’ve been outscored 85-57. They’ve allowed five or more goals in nine of those games; they’ve surrendered seven goals in two of those games, eight goals in one of those games, 10 goals in one of those games, and now, nine goals in one of those games.
This can’t be allowed to continue.
