NEW: Red Wings’ latest playoff miss shows team's fatal flaws, as drought reaches 9 seasons
www.nytimes.com/athletic/628...
Thoughts on the Red Wings’ winning weekend, the big game in Montreal it sets up for Tuesday, and whether a win there could take playoff hopes from a pipe dream to plausible:
www.nytimes.com/athletic/626...
Yeah that’s a good argument

Not so long ago, Casey Mize was the talk of spring training. Now he's on the roster bubble, experimenting with new sliders, rethinking his fastball and returning to the pitch that got him here.
"I think I need to get back to using (the splitter) a lot."

NEW: Which Red Wing would make the best (and worst) future GM? Who are the best and worst dressed? And who wouldn't survive on a desert island?
We asked the players those questions and more in this year's team poll:
www.nytimes.com/athletic/612...
Red Wings win it in Seattle. They sweep their four-game road trip, and have won seven straight for the second time in the last six weeks.
Detroit now up to 15-4-1 under Todd McLellan
It would have been almost unthinkable a month ago, but the Red Wings woke up Monday in a playoff spot.
They've won six straight, and are right in the thick of this crowded playoff race: www.nytimes.com/athletic/610...

On a new edition of The Athletic Hockey Show with @mbultman.bsky.social and me, we break down and react to the J.T. Miller trade. Did the Canucks get enough? Are the Rangers back in the mix? How does the rising cap affect all this?
Listen!

The Red Wings roll on. They take down the Oilers in Edmonton, 3-2 after a shootout. A damn good win (especially after trailing 2-0) and a heck of a way to start out a 4-game road trip.
Detroit’s got something going here
There's a list out there on the internet, one tallying h.s. basketball's highest single-season scorers. The name on top isn't a familiar one. It's one that was without a story.
That's where we begin...

What does the Red Wings recent surge mean for their trade deadline approach?
www.nytimes.com/athletic/609...
Tommy Kahnle threw 61 consecutive changeups in last fall's postseason run.
Signed on a one-year deal, he gives the Tigers a needed swing-and-miss bullpen option

Kasper's breakout, Raymond's dominance, and three other improvements driving the Red Wings' surge under Todd McLellan: www.nytimes.com/athletic/609...
Kane will be on this trip to Western CA, McLellan said. Petry will not.
Dominik Shine paid his dues, and then some. He spent 462 games in the AHL, and was considering retiring last season.
But Monday, the call finally came. At age 31, Shine made his NHL debut for his hometown team.
“Something I’ll cherish forever:”

We've got 15 games of data under McLellan so I took a quick look at how each skater's performance has changed under McLellan vs. Lalonde.
Data via @hockeystatcards.com
Model via @domluszczyszyn.bsky.social
📈 Johansson, Kasper, Kane, Edvinsson, Larkin, Raymond
📉 Holl, Fischer, Veleno
He didn’t say, but I think Watson is more likely. They can move someone else to center if needed. We’ll see though.
He did not say but I would have to think Watson is a leading candidate
