Jeff Blashill says the Red Wings are considering using Anthony Mantha on the PK this season. He’s been repping on the PK in a couple practices so far, which could give the Red Wings an interesting element in that phase of the game with his length— Max Bultman (@m_bultman) January 4, 2021
Troy Stecher made a 35 road trip to move from Vancouver to Detroit — it was him and with his Bernese Mountain dog, Phoebe. Stops in Montana, Minnesota and Madison along the way to break up the drive.
“She was a trooper,” he said. “I couldn’t be more proud of her.”— Max Bultman (@m_bultman) January 4, 2021
Vladislav Nametnikov talked today about playing for the same team as his uncle, Slava Kozlov, whose photo is among those on the wall in the Red Wings dressing room. pic.twitter.com/4YHItSX1ib— Mike Foss (@MikeFossWXYZ) January 4, 2021
Former #Canucks D Troy Stecher was a part of a @DetroitRedWings Zoom availability today. “I feel really comfortable here. They’ve made me feel comfortable. I’m excited to get things going. It’s been fun going to work every day,” he said of his new teammates.— Steve Ewen (@SteveEwen) January 4, 2021
Stecher relocated last month, driving from Vancouver to Detroit with Phoebe, his Bernese Mountain dog. It was a 35-hour trip that he split up over several days, including a stop in Minnesota to check in with Brock Boeser, who was also a Stecher teammate at North Dakota.— Steve Ewen (@SteveEwen) January 4, 2021
Asked how Phoebe handled the trip, he said, “She’s a trooper. I couldn’t be more proud of her. But there was no way I was coming out here without her.”— Steve Ewen (@SteveEwen) January 4, 2021
