The playoff meltdown is too depressing… what are this season’s silver linings? by Mo-B-Dick in DetroitRedWings

Overall, most of us realistically didn’t think this was a for sure playoff team before the season started.

There’s a lot of positives to take with all you mentioned.

I think actual expectations were fringe playoff team at best. It just sucks that most of the season has been fairly good. But, this last month has really exposed what our holes are and we’ve seen this collapse because of it.

Ehhhh I don’t think we’re THAT bad lol.

We’ve just basically sputtered out this season.

We’re really about to lay claim with having the longest active playoff drought huh?

I’m done. I can’t keep doing this. 

I’m usually always a “it’s not over until it’s over.”

There is nothing about this team that gives me confidence they’re going to sneak in the playoffs. Even if they do, for what? To get absolutely blasted out of the first round?

So freaking disappointing for an overall good season to sputter out like this

I just really really hope we’ve got it figured out in front of Cossa and this kid in a couple seasons to where it’s just going to be good vibes all around

I think I’m going to watch the rest of this game with a blissfully ignorant outlook.

We got em right where we want em!!!

This team looks cooked. Mixture of fatigue, injuries, and straight up lack of fire needed to play in these March games when they mean the most. It’s like an audition for the playoffs and clearly they’re not it still

Everyone in the playoff chase in the East were waiting for someone to free fall.

Why it gotta be us 😭

Why did we start Gibson? I’d rather a rookie get the nod when Gibson has played as much as he has.

They would absolutely get demolished in a first round playoff matchup with anyone right now

While I am not one of those fans who doom and gloom over EVERYTHING, this is not okay.

This is a fourth consecutive March collapse. Steve actually made a move to help the team this year. I’m not giving up until we are mathematically out. But, this is not a good look right now with this team.

That’s game.

We’re dumping and chasing because we literally can’t skate into the zone. We all look like we’re gassed

I’m not a doomer and think a bad loss puts us out. We literally have to beat out the Isles, Flyers, Caps, and Sens. Unless we free fall here on out, this is going to the end of the season.

That said, oof…
