In Detroit's final 20 games of the season, 8 of them were vs. non-playoff teams (CBJ was the best of them, no others was close).
They went 2-5-1 (0.313 pts %), dropping 11 points to lottery teams (incl. 0-3-0 vs. 25th place FLA in that span).
Missed playoffs by 8 points. #LGRW
New episode is here, post-Red Wings season finale. Come commiserate with us, it's all we have left.

Latest episode of the @wingedwheelpodcast.com is almost up. Slow to edit. My soul, spirit, and body have been battered, I guess.
Not a season recap episode (waiting for post-season pressers) so buckle up for some unstructured reactions to what we watched last night. π #LGRW
Red Wings really capping off this season in the most fitting way possible. 5-0 Florida just over halfway through the game. #LGRW

The Detroit Red Wings held a lead with 10 minutes to go and went on to lose the game 5 times this season.
4 of those games have happened since March 4th. #LGRW
(credit to @prashanthiyer.bsky.social for digging this up)
All you can do is laugh lmao
Even if you take the most conservative interpretation possible and just flip the late blown lead vs. FLA (+2 points), take MIN to OT (+1 point), & not blow the late lead vs. CBJ (+1 point), that puts the Red Wings in a playoff spot.
Choked it all away. #LGRW
6 games in the last 35 days where the Detroit Red Wings either threw away the win or had absolutely no excuse to lose.
Aside from their (very real, significant) roster issues, these were games that THIS version of the Red Wings should've won. 10 points. All within their control.
Copp breakaway opportunity in overtime, looks like it was broken up last second.
Onto the shootout. #LGRW
Columbus ties it with 16 seconds left. Headed to overtime.
Ottawa is going to win in regulation, by the way. #LGRW
Greaves with a big pad save to stop Raymond on the breakaway. #LGRW
Red Wings start the 3rd tied at 2, elsewhere the Sens & Lightning are also tied through 40 minutes.
Wins of any kind, regulation or not, matter most for Detroit - won't catch Ottawa in RW, just need more points. #LGRW
ASP turns the puck over behind the net and the Red Wings can't scramble to recover in time, Columbus goes up 1-0 early.
Bad start! #LGRW
Putting Kane's penalty aside for a moment - need to state the obvious that Detroit shouldn't have been in that position to start. Another game of self-inflicted wounds, unravelling at the first sign of adversity, & putting themselves behind the 8-ball w/o margin for error. #LGRW
They don't - Kaprizov scores on the power play for the hat trick.
No idea what Kane was thinking. Devastating, unnecessary turn of events. #LGRW
Kane takes a bad, bad penalty late in the 3rd. Detroit needs to survive this. #LGRW
The Detroit Red Wings are an unbelievable hockey team in every sense of the word. Down 4-1 entering the 3rd, tied it with 5 minutes left. #LGRW
Minnesota strikes twice within the first 1m25s to take the lead. Detroit's advantage wiped away in a snap, on the back foot now with stakes as high as they've ever been. #LGRW
mind-numbing playoff race
Wings head into the 2nd intermission down 2-0 to one of the worst home teams in the NHL, a team already eliminated from playoff contention that recently managed only 10 SOG vs. the severely depleted Senators.
Would be embarrassing if Detroit can't get a result here. #LGRW
DeBrincat is so clutch. Easily the MVP of the forwards this year. #LGRW

Pittsburgh makes it 4-1, redirect in front off of a point shot. Penguins regain their 3 goal lead over Detroit. #LGRW
