In Red Wings Land

Red Wings done for season but Steve Yzerman has much work to do – Mlive

If a change is made, a couple of Yzerman’s former teammates would be among the candidates to take over – Gerard Gallant and Lane Lambert. Gallant was fired in January by the Vegas Golden Knights. Lambert, an assistant coach with the New York Islanders, has never been a head coach in the NHL.

According to Golf Digest, Mantha is the best golfer in the NHL with a stunning +3.2 handicap. For non-golfers, that means that his average score is better than three strokes under par.
