Random Red Wings Notes

[Polish-Hammer]

I think that might be point percentage, not win percentage.

Keep in mind Blashill's numbers are heavily inflated via shootouts and loser points.

His actual win percentage is at 41.3 %

Its not really fair comparing total point percentage across different eras without taking into account for overtime points. Loser point inflates the numbers of current generation.

Keep it mind the league went from averaging .500 to .560.

A more fair comparison is take ROW - L/OL - T/SO

Even with the advent of 3 on 3 OT will also affect numbers of ROWs. Just look at point percentage in isolation isn't fair.

Gordie Howe played baseball too? Played for Saskatoon 55's. Had endorsed gloves for both sports.

Howe and Al Kaline were friends. Gordie went to old #BriggsStadium to take batting practice with Tigers ️

Looks like a Rangers might get Yzerman instead of the dumb Red Wings !

Report linking Yzerman with Rangers job casts doubt about him returning to Red Wings

Chris would be making a stupid mistake.

That is the alleged source of the Yzerman to Rangers rumour so..... well draw your own conclusion.

Let's be honest, nobody knows what Yzerman is doing next except Yzerman.
