I agree with mike. There are no moral victories in hockey. Playoffs every year or bust. Top 50% make it. Come on, even a blind squirrel gets a nut once in a whileš¤·āāļø
Utter collapse… down the stretch. Sign Raymond to 3-4 year deal, Sign Mo tighten the blue line… find a goalie for now.. (ours don't cut it) inconsistent goaltending, defensive and offensive play. Of which offensively DeBrincat was a goose egg as well… 11 points better but still not good enough.. HC will still be here (sadly) but he'll at least finish his term, hopefully he finishes his contract and leaves quicker than he came! #GoWings. #RantOver
We have bad contracts also: Holl, Chariot, and Copp. We have cap room to get a good goalie but that will only come via trade which requires picks and Stevie doesn't like to do that.
I'm gonna be pissed if the Wings don't have a new head coach next year. Lalonde needed to be fired during the first losing streak If they don't make the playoffs next year, it's time to find a new GM
Our season ended when Larkin got injured and the team went on that disaster of a losing streak which killed our season. We were up 9 points ahead in the wildcard spot! I know Larkin is very much the heart and soul of the team but the fact that none of the other veteran players could step up and lead the team to at least 3 or 4 wins during his absence is just not good enough. It looked like they were all waiting for the other guy to do something. Sometimes teams lose their captains for a while but most don't self implode like we did. I feel like Lalonde has to be looked at as well as he failed to adjust with Larkin's absence.
Hereās the facts: if at the start of the year you say: weāre gonna get 91 points. Have stars emerge, but just be 1 point out of a playoff spot. Iād say it sucks but Iād take that not knowing how the season goes.
But when they were 9 points in a playoff spot, comfortable, and then to completely choke like they did and lose a playoff spot nobody seemed to want near the end. Then yes this season is a failure because they were a playoff team and choked, miserably
I think the Red Wings now know without any doubts where they are weakest and what they need to fix. I think they didn't make a move at the deadline because they wanted this team to sink or swim and evaluate the results. Stevie said he thought they were good enough to make it in, but that's just the public comments, I bet in truth they wanted to see how they would play and go from there. Now, the question is, will the Red Wings go get the players to fill those weaknesses and needs or not, and will they make adjustments to how they coach or not?
PATHETIC way to clinch the playoff capitals. What a bunch of participation trophy lucky bums lol. If only the wings didnāt blow ONE of those games in that horrid stretch. My passion for hockey is at an all time low rn. Capitalsā¦. Itās almost shameless how this made it. We NEED a goaltender.
The 7-Game Losing Streak in March Cost the Red Wings a chance to the playoffs. That is why I am calling this season a Failure. Steve Yzerman should have made a Coaching Change during that Stretch. They need help on Defense and an Upgrade at Goalie for the Short-Term.
This team has improved every year under Yzerman. It's still a failure considering the collapse yet a success with the continued growth. Raymond grew. Larking grew. Edvidsson grew. Next year is pkayoffs or bust.
Tell me you are a casual without telling me you are casual Velenti. š literally only respect his opinion on football because he actually knows what he talking about when it comes to that. But hockey? Dude is an asshat when it comes to hockey in my personal opinion.
Just too funny. My Caps traded everyone they could at the deadline and only cared about cap space and draft picks and make it in over Det and Pitt who went all in last summer lol. We will be dispatched quickly but for the first time in 3 years we have a bright and interesting future. When year started we expected a top 5 pick
The Red Wings performed as they were expected to if you look at their record they are a 500 team 82 games played 41 wins there are 500 team and you got a 500 team result. Theyāve taken a lot of steps towards their future this season, but to act like they were a guaranteed locked in playoff team was delusional from the get-go. Their expectations were to compete for a playoff spot at the end of the season and they played all season like a 500 team mostly 4-5 game winning streaks with seven game losing streaks off and on
This team doesn't have the cap space to do much. After Seider and Raymond's extensions we may have at most 14 million. That doesn't include extending Veleno which he shouldn't be. 14 million to sign 4 forwards and a goalie. How far is 14 million gonna go. If they won't play the prospects, this team is gonna be more of the same next year.
Habs fan: it's hard to express it but we knew that our playoff run would end basically…. at the beginning of the season lol š š . But kinda sucks for you guys. You won back to back the last epic 2 games (the shootout looked like nobody gave a shit) and torts fucked it up for all you guy's. Not just you but Pittsburgh also. Listen i know the frustration about the wings and their 7 8 loss streak in march but like i said I'm a habs fan. I know what it is to be frustrated for my team. Wish you guys best of luck next season. Oh and Phoenix won which is a victory for us š¤£š¤£š¤£.
Everyone seems to get pissed when I say this, but missing the playoffs by 1 game and staying put at the deadline is a terrible, terrible look. There HAD to have been a SINGLE player that could've helped us win ONE more game.
āBreaksā and āLuckā are parts of the game, so stop that bullshit. Otherwise, yes. The Wings fucked themselves this spring. Keep Ghost and give Kane a 2 year deal for $5 mil a year. Heāll take it. Free Agency is the big one. Cossa is not ready, Reimer is gone, Lyon is not a clear #1. Sign a good goalie and a couple D-men.
A significant number of small to mid-level moves need to be made. They only had 2 wins all year where the goalie āstoleā a game. Holl, Fabbri, Chiarot, Husso need to be moved. You have Berggren and this yearās first to help facilitate.

jake walman????
7 game losing streak after the trash patch
That meltdown in March did them in

Evindson looks legit and Raymond could easily score 40 next year if they add an offensive minded defensive

This team needs a defense bad!
Iām old enough to remember the shows at the beginning of the season when Mike was saying if they just miss out on playoffs he wouldnāt freak out

Fire lalonde asap & add GRIT & TOUGHNESS & GOALIE

I think they go backwards next season

Mike right on the money with Lindgren. That horrible goal differential is on Kuemper.
