This is what hockey is all about, people. Spring is in the air, which means playoff hockey is right around the corner, which means we’re about to see some blood, sweat, and tears out on the ice. I’m talking intensity through the roof as teams make their playoff pushes.
Yes, the Detroit Red Wings are in last place in their division, but this is about preparing for next season. Coach Jeff Blashill took a puck to the face last night and to teach his young team what it takes to succeed in the NHL, he rubbed some dirt on his bloody face, got stitched up and kept coaching.

You don’t see this kind of stuff in the NBA.
