Some Wings fans will hate it but I don't mind Blashill. You can't possibly look at the rosters they've had since 2016-17 (the first year they missed the playoffs), and think they had the talent to make the playoffs. This year's team was also significantly better than last year which is important. A lot of people criticize him for the extremely defensive style the Red Wings played this year, but this team did not have the scoring to go goal-for-goal with hardly any other team. He was coaching the style that would result in the most wins for the team. Another important thing about him is that the players still seem to be playing for him despite the results. Every time the Wings got blown out this year, they followed it up with a win, or at least a much better performance.
Also, Bylsma is not being brought back and he was our assistant coach that ran the PP (which was at 11% this year).
