While some other professional head coaches choose to alienate fans by voicing their political views, Red Wings coach Todd McLellan is taking a different approach.
It's a polarizing time right now on the political landscape, especially in the hockey world where the American national anthem has been booed by pockets of frustrated Canadian fans in response to threats of tariffs on goods north of the border from US President Donald Trump.
The good news is that earlier today, it appears as though progress has been made on the issue of tariffs; President Trump announced a 30 day delay on said tariffs, while Prime Minister Justin Trudeau conversely announced a major investment in border security with a focus on drug trafficking.
I know why you're asking me that question and I have my personal opinions on the political landscape but I'm gonna keep those to myself and I'm gonna separate that from what we were all here for and that is the entertainment value of a hockey game.
It's the diplomatic answer for McLellan to give, as whatever his views are would likely clash with the views of at least half of the fans who support the Red Wings.
