Tony With Jeff Blashill

Jeff Blashill (left), with Tony Pertile (right) at the USA Hockey Arena in Plymouth.

     I recently met Jeff Blashill at the USA Hockey Arena in Plymouth.  Jeff Blashill is currently in his 5th season as Head Coach of the Detroit Red Wings.  Coach Blashill appeared to be scouting when I met him, but he was really polite, and super cool to talk with.  He was more than happy to pose for a picture, and we both agreed that the Detroit Red Wings have a lot of good young players.  We shook hands, and I let him get back to work.
