Catch Hirose, Hronek and Blashill below after today's skate.
Normally I would put one video before the jump, but today the videos include an emoji or whatever you call it and it messes up my rss feed.

Game day notes from Dana Wakiji of DetroitRedWings.com,
If you look at Taro Hirose’s statistics at Michigan State and since’s he’s played in the NHL, it’s obvious that he is a pass-first forward.
In three seasons at MSU, Hirose had 116 points, 83 of them assists.
In his 10-game stint with the Red Wings last spring, Hirose had six assists among his seven points, which included an assist in each of his first five games.
This season, Hirose has two assists in eight games, both on the power play.
Currently, Hirose has four shots, tied with Trevor Daley (in four games) and Valtteri Filppula (eight games) for third fewest on the team.
Christoffer Ehn has two shots in six games and Madison Bowey does not have a shot in four games.
“I think it’s just trying to attack a little bit more,” Hirose said after the team’s optional morning skate at Little Caesars Arena. “The first couple of games I was a little too passive, not enough zone time. But now I’m feeling better out there. I had a couple of chances last game. I think I had that opportunity to score, so just continue to improve each game and just try to get some more stuff toward the net.”

About Abel to Yzerman
Welcome to Abel to Yzerman, a Red Wing blog since 1977. No other site on the internet has better-researched, fact-laden and better prepared discussions than A2Y. Re-phrase: we do little research, find facts and stats highly overrated and claim little to no preparation. There are 19 readers of A2Y. No more, no less. All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature. Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that. Your suggestions and critiques are welcome: wphoulihan@gmail.com
from the Vancouver side.
