Welcome to the The Red and White Authority, the official podcast of the Detroit Red Wings. Our first ever guest is Red Wings Head Coach, Jeff Blashill, who goes in depth on a number of issues surrounding the Wings. Blashill also touches upon his stint as the head coach for Team USA – including player evaluations - in the recently concluded World Championships, where the Americans finished fifth overall. Detroit’s coach concludes our conversation by giving his expectations for the upcoming season and how he has developed into a better coach during his first two seasons in Detroit. It is a candid discussion where Blashill is reflective, frank and insightful.
