from Dana Wakiji of the Wings' website,
Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill has spoken to the league but captain Henrik Zetterberg has not.
The Wings are ready to move on from Saturday night's disappointing 3-2 loss in Florida in which Panthers forward Jonathan Huberdeau scored with 7.7 seconds left in regulation.
The entire team believed that Huberdeau had interfered with goaltender Petr Mrazek but the league ruled that it was not enough to wave off the goal.
"I talked to them today and we got to make sure, our goalies have to make sure they're as strong in the crease as possible and we got to make sure from an offensive standpoint that we get to the net hard," Blashill said. "We still got to be real careful about the blue. That's all I can go on is what I've been told. Tomas Holmstrom called, he'd like to come back and play, so that was interesting."
Blashill was kidding about Holmstrom of course, but Holmstrom lost more than a few goals during his career because of a goaltender interference call.
After the game, Justin Abdelkader was beside himself as he had had goals waved off for what he believed to be far less contact with the goalie.
continued with more topics like the power play and tomorrow's opponent, the Boston Bruins.
