I really think something was on the verge with Blashill but then we went and won that Winnipeg game and that earned him at least another 15 games of equity.  Sad. 

Hahaha I don’t doubt this. Loyalty. The only people talking about Blash being on a short leash are media. I bet he at least finishes the season.

Kenny's too smart to do fire Blash AT THIS CURRENT TIME.  IF we were to fire Blash, then we have a new coach with a clean slate with a year (or two, or three) to prove themselves.  Like or hate Blash, I don't think with this current roster that a new coach is going to be able to improve/"move the needle" enough to make this a clear indication that our primary problem was bad coaching.  A new coach MAY show improvement, but IMO not enough improvement to vindicate our talent level/bad roster.   In addition, if a new coach is put in place, then in the interim, the focus really become our roster and he's 100% solely responsible for this aspect of the organization.  It works to Kenny's advantage in this final year of his contract to have the fans/media questioning the coaching and not the talent/roster he responsible for.

Playing this out a bit further; If Kenny does get an extension at the end of this year (or knowing the Ilitches, before the end of the year), Blash is done.
