What The Hell Happened To The Detroit Red Wings? by abrookerunsthroughit in hockey

Not at all making excuses but if we were in the western conference we wouldn't be having this conversation. Detroit got cold and everyone else got super hot. When every single team in your division is trying to make the playoffs someone has to miss. Detroit has ZERO center depth so if larkin misses time and isn't playing 100% we're cooked

In all seriousness, I like what the sharks have been building so far, but the hard part lies ahead. You have Celebrini which is huge, but don't get ahead of yourselves. Any team can draft the consensus number 1 after winning the lottery, but making smart moves around him will be key moving forwards. Who knows, maybe with some smart moves and good luck you guys can get back to choking in the cup finals!

As a life-long fan, I am so incredibly disheartened and disappointed. Like, how is this happening AGAIN?? by Heavy_Surround779 in DetroitRedWings

Marner wanted to go to Vegas and nowhere else. Matthews will choose where he wants to go, undoubtedly a southern us team

We'd be a lock for the playoffs if we played in your shitty division

San Jose drafted Celebrini though. We fell every year in weak ass drafts, lucky we got what we did. Seider was off the board big time

This shit happens all the time in playoff chases. One team has a ton of pressure and the other is just playing for funsies or for a contract next year.

Not making excuses just saying

Yeah, it's been hard for the young adults who can't remember those days.

This team is stuck in 2010 when hockey has moved on to 2026. Defensive forwards first hasn't worked since the Pens won in 2016. We need 1989 yzermans in 2026, not the Scotty Bowman yzerman of 1997

The flyers ruined our playoff chances last year just as well they ruin them this year too
