Speculation: Zetterberg clashing with Blashill?

[Run the Jewels]

These guys broke Rick Carlisle getting fired and were very early on the Harbaugh to Michigan news. So I think this is worth posting.

Over the last couple weeks it became abundantly obvious through our reporting that the “Swedish Mafia” led by Zetterberg had not only played a part in lineup decisions but the team’s captain made it clear to his teammates that it was HIS voice that should be listened to and NOT Blashill’s.

...these comments didn’t come from a player disgruntled with Blashill. This information is coming from a player who was happy Blashill got the gig when Mike Babcock left and, if anything, FEELS BAD FOR THE GUY.

Now, keep in mind that Blashill was already viewed by some in that locker room as “Blashcock” or “Babshill” so the last thing he needed was his team’s most respected voice to emasculate him on a regular basis.

Unsubstantiated and rumor mongering. Did they have this power over Babcock too? Because he did the same ****. Something tells me, "yeah right."

I find it hard to believe Zetterberg wanted Andersson on the team simply because he's Swedish.

Correct. This is not considered a legit source considering how serious these rumors are, and until we find anything of substance to substantiate these claims, we are not going to dedicate a thread based around these allegations.
