The Malik Report

Grand Rapids Griffins coach Jeff Blashill spoke with WDFN's Matt Sheppard this morning, speaking for nearly 11 minutes and discussing the AHL playoffs (the Griffins defeated Rockford 5-3 last night), the play of Kevin Porter and Andy Miele, his lack of concern about Mike Babcock's situation as it affects his future employment (Blashill is a consummate "in the moment" person), the quartet of Nick Jensen, Ryan Sproul, Alexey Marchenko and Xavier Ouellet, the Red Wings' "needs" as the Griffins may fulfill them (including Landon Ferraro and Petr Mrazek) and the development of Teemu Pulkkinen, Tomas Nosek and Anthony Mantha.

.@jeffblashill said Teemu Pulkkinen was the team's best player on Sunday in Toronto, and scored hat-trick in Game 1 win over Rockford. — 1130 AM WDFN The Fan (@1130WDFN) May 7, 2015 .@jeffblashill with @ShepMatt: "I've always been a guy who is worried about right now ... not what's next." — 1130 AM WDFN The Fan (@1130WDFN) May 7, 2015 Jeff Blashill: "When we play other teams in the AHL, I truly believe we have more prospects than the teams we're facing." — 1130 AM WDFN The Fan (@1130WDFN) May 7, 2015
