Optional skate, but that's 100% expected.

Red Wings determined to respond with grit, passion

Don't know if anyone saw this article on nhl.com, but apparently Blashill worked them like dogs at practice yesterday.

So coach Jeff Blashill made quite a statement himself at practice Monday. It wasn't a bag skate. It was harder. The Red Wings did 2-on-2 battle drills the width of the ice, 1-on-1 protect-the-puck drills in the zones, 2-on-2 quick-change battle drills with the goals moved up to the tops of the slots. They did sprints the width of the ice in between.
Blashill blew his whistle. The players huffed, puffed, hunched over, dropped to one knee, dropped to two.

If the 30th ranked (at the time) offense in the league can drop 6 and 10 on us in two games, I'm afraid of what an actual good offense like Winnipeg will do

If Winnipeg scores early it will be interesting to see how the fans at the Joe react.

That said, I expect a solid game tonight, even if it's a loss.

Going to get spanked, tonight. Saw the whipping that Winnipeg put on Ottawa, the other day. If Anderson didn't come in, it could have been a 10-spot.

Might get lit like a Christmas tree then again maybe we won't. Is Frk back? Would make sense since no call up since the Wilson trade.

I have never in my life hoped we get annihilated, however I really want us to lose 6-0. I've had enough of him , ready to move on. It's evident they don't listen to him and don't compete for him.

Unless we keep getting blown out by 5+ goals blashill isn't fired until the offseason. If this is truly Holland's last season, the new GM will fire blash.

So I'm kinda hoping for a loss to get us lower in the standings, but not by a huge margin

People that think canning Blash will do anything positive for this team are in for a rough surprise. We have the worst roster in the league. What's the point?

This pre-game interview by Holland comes off as so delusional, he says the Wings need to compete for the playoffs so that Mantha and Larkin will want to stay here. Yeah, I'm sure they're super excited to get smashed in the playoffs.

The two coaches that would likely replace him suggest otherwise. Torchetti had really bad teams at 500 really and had a winning record with Minnesota. Nelson had a trash edmonton team playing hard and a little below 500
