Late yesterday, Detroit Red Wings head coach Jeff Blashill was named to the Ferris State Bulldogs Athletics Hall of Fame in their Class of 2020.
But what does that mean for the Detroit Red Wings?
You got it; not much.
Blashill is in his fifth season with the Red Wings, posting a 104-105-37 record, only making the playoffs once, where the team lost in the first round.
The public relations spin here is that he posted the sixth-best winning percentage (0.567) of any first-year Red Wings coach in history. It’s a laughable stat that screams desperation.
