Detroit Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill wants his team to be harder to play against, play with an edge, compete from the opening faceoff to the final horn.

He wants to see “Sixty Minutes of Hell” during the regular season.

That’s the motto Blashill has adopted during training camp, one that’s emblazoned on T-shirts players are wearing while working out.

It’s borrowed from former Arkansas basketball coach Nolan Richardson, who preached a “40 minutes of hell” playing style that pressured opponents all over the court and resulted in much success for the Razorbacks in the early 1990s.
