I know what he meant, but Blash needs to work on his sound bites: "We wanted to have five forwards on our bench we were comfortable killing." Hahahaha.

Anyways, I love Blashill's penchant for bringing up something a guy has done at least a year ago. Particularly the ones who are old or just plain bad.

Seriously, why isn't Cleary up? Remember those great plays he had back in 2012?

If you take Blashill literally about that, it makes sense why Andersson is on the bench and not Mantha.

Blashill's five he's comfortable killing
1. Joakim Andersson
2. Luke Glendening
3. Pavel Datsyuk
4. Henrik Zetterberg
5. Niklas Kronwall

We need to play a physical game. Everyone must finish checks.

Absolutely. This season is easily summarized : When the Wings forecheck is going they Win and look like a playoff team, When the opponent forechecks Detroit's backend to death they look awful.

Very generalized, and can probably be said for other teams. Avs come to mind quick. Nonetheless I think it applies.
