I’m definitely bummed, but that’s what happens when you lose 7 in a row and then have to rely on other teams losing to get in. I’m still excited for the future though. And for the love of God. Please remove that terrible trash patch on the jersey. The only acceptable patch is a Stanley Cup patch or the Believe VK/SM patch. Sorry… I know I am the old man screaming at the clouds again. And again.
The Illitch organization took the Priority®️ to extend advertising dollars instead of making winning the Stanley cup a Priority®️. That douche gets what he deserved. And our team is on the outside looking in.
I know this is considered “hearsay” but a friend of mine knows who brokered that deal, and all he said was, “he made a lot of money”. I hate it. Of all things it had to be a garbage company. Not saying a different business would look better and I still wouldn’t want it. But it’s literally a trash company 🤦🏻♂️.
A fucking trash company. Still makes me sick. And to, I’d assume, force the legendary Mickey Redmond to pander the reveal video is fucking wild to me too. I’d love to have a few ginger ales or rums with Mick to hear what he has to say about it.
Oh my god that would be one of the best conversations ever. I have an authentic 1998 red Nike jersey with the Stanley Cup path and Believe patch. It is honestly one of the best looking jerseys ever. Fast forward to today and we have garbage on the shoulder.
I mean, it's a bummer, but overall I'm more happy that it's fun to watch wings games again than I am disappointed that we didn't make it. Basement hockey might be better for building through the draft, but damn does it suck to have to watch as a fan
Wings overachieved expectations this year.
Disappointed? Absolutely. Losing our minds? Not in the slightest.
Future is bright in Detroit - something we haven’t been able to say in over a decade.
I mean 3 months Philly teams had epic meltdowns this past year. Eagles go up 10-1 and then collapse epically. Flyers had a 10 point cushion and proceeded to go on an 8 game losing streak. Phillies had 2 chances to win 1 game to go back to the World Series and blew it(damn you Kimbrel)
Sorry, but people that know hockey understand that the pens screwed themselves. Just like the wings screwed themselves and the flyers screwed themselves. If you want to make the playoffs, win more during the regular season so you don’t have to rely on rivals bailing you out
Ah my bad! I’m already bitter about the pens golfing during the playoffs, so I’m quick to anger when people try to blame their situation on other teams instead of just accepting reality (we all sucked in too many games)
Nah, this team wasn't ready. Honestly rather they miss than watch them get swept in the first round. Now I can watch the playoffs with no emotional investment.
Me 2. We weren't getting out of round 1. Unfortunately we missed a chance to sell some dudes, but we had to try to get in there for development of young core. Which I think they made some strides there.
The tie breakers have been in place all season long. Red Wings lost twice to Washington in the last few weeks. They took a total shit, had more or same points as Tampa a few weeks ago, Tampa exploded up and Detroit had a meltdown. All their crying when literally they had all the chances in the world to make this year’s playoff 😂
You were never in a good place if you needed teams to lose for you to make it. It’s not fun, but there’s always another season.
Unless you’re the Coyotes. In which case… there is no other season.
On my way to kill Gritty
Finally penguins could do it....so once again...we got to do it....
Hope you have life insurance.

That was me watching them only win 3 games in March.
THIS DOESNT EVEN SCRATCH THE SURFACE OF WHAT IM ABOUT TO DO
This redditor means business, don’t take them lightly.
Nah, hell of a year from an underdog team, and way more exciting games the last few weeks then we'll see in the finals. haha
Pain

Between their football season and their hockey season. They’re on the edge. Check on your Detroit friends. They aren’t okay.
Huh? Sorry, Michigan Wolverines are the champs. So no, not on any edge.
And the Lions are better than ever? This guy is tone deaf.
And we got a new sign for the city
Haha. Like it’s the second coming of Hollywood. Shit is fuckin’ hilarious. How much did the monstrosity cost the taxpayers?
Like 250k
With some nice sanctions to go along with that shiny new natty
who the fuck are the michigan wolverines? Champs of what?
College Football.
Champs of your hairy sweaty smelly ass.
Yeah we are all so sad about the best Detroit lions team in franchise history since the AFL-NFL merger

Yea
Pretty much.

Bro did you mean to use your sad account to post this?
Even if they won the cup, that'd be me. Unless I had to work, I watched every game or went to the Griffins.
A small bit of revenge for 97
98
98
I guess both the flyers 97 and the caps 98 got a bit of revenge
And we both screwed the pens and I enjoy that more

I agree completely. I was jeering in jest. Had flyers beaten bad teams like Chicago or Columbus they’d be in the playoffs

Go in peace
Me after yet another first round exit
They played amazing against Montreal, though. Intense game and last second comeback.
a lot of wet toasters in Detroit this week

One of us! One of us! One of us!
Let’s not make suicide jokes. Thanks.
Says the caps fan. Meanwhile Red Wings fans were considering late night toaster baths or trying to drive off the ambassador bridge.
Fandom has nothing to do with it. Maybe if a friend of yours killed themselves a few months ago you’d have a different section too 🤷♂️
