Not even a Wings fan, but I’ve been cheering hard for them the past few days. This was nuts.

Would’ve been such a great story if Wings were able to get in. Too bad Flyers are garbage. Honestly not even mad though, they did everything they could in the end.

I’ve been a big red wings fan this week only. I entered Ape Mode in that last 7 seconds. My condolences real Red Wings fans. That was a doozy

I know it’s the overtime points system, but holy hell is it crazy that a team with more wins isn’t making the playoffs as a wildcard.

The narrative was there for the wings to bad Philly sucks lol

“WINGS HAD MORE WINS!”
Wings also had more regulation losses. Team is on the upswing and rebuilding nicely. It was an ugly last couple weeks chasing the second wild card, plenty to look forward to for Wings fans.

Imagine if they hadn’t lost three games to Ottawa.

Should the NHL have the Caps and Redwings redo their regular seasons in case it was a big fluke?
No disrespect to the Caps, I’m a firm believer that Washington getting into the playoffs is a huge fluke and robs the Wings of truly accomplishing what their capable of. I’ve spent the last few minutes in pure disbelief and it just doesn’t make sense to me. I’ve spent the entire regular season watching the Red wings play mediocre hockey it’s just not fair.
If the Redwings lose again I will face that the Caps deserved the WC2, but I am just 100% sure it was a fluke and does a big disservice to the state of Michigan and the NHL.

The last week has been an emotional roller coaster 🎢… absolutely amazing end to the season with a huge letdown. LGRW

Watched the Wings this past week for (multiple games) first time in years. Defense needs work and PK. Make thise better and stay healthy and next year they’re a lock.
Too bad Philly wasn’t totally eliminated so they wouldn’t have pulled their goalie. F Philly

I’m so confused. Wings have 41 regulation wins. Caps have 40. Does that not mean wings make the playoffs?

Never think that mid season, mind numbing game in mid January, where you blew that 3rd period lead and lose in OT, isn’t important. Every single point is important

So close. Too bad, the franchise deserves better, especially with Larkins effort lately. Hopefully they can make some big signings this summer and I hope Kane and Debrincat stay

I am not okay

That extra point needed to get in the playoffs, when you think about it. All the games lost in OT/SO or by 1 goal, all they needed was 1, just ONE freaking point…

Red wings also imploded at the end of the season. Go Caps

All I’m hoping for at this point is the caps to get absolutely embarrassed lol

Detroit shoulda won more games in regulation. I feel like it would’ve helped…

Accurate. Last 2 games were crazy comebacks, you could argue that they shouldn’t have been in that positions but, man that excitement was awesome while it lasted

Too bad we didn’t beat the caps and pens. Did it to ourselves
PenguinsExArmyVet
Wings didn’t deserve the playoffs Really poor goaltending and defence all year long and The GM did nothing to improve the team all year
DiggWuzBetter
I’ve got no horse in this race, but can’t help but feel that of the teams who were truly down to the wire for that last wildcard spot (Caps, Red Wings, Pens), the worst team of the three made it in.
The Pens especially could’ve given the Rangers a legit challenge IMO. Maybe the Caps surprise me, but they just seem kinda done to me, I expect the Rangers to win this series pretty comfortably.

Flyers did them dirty pulling the goalie in a tied game when they were already eliminated.

This GIF you use. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Why is Detroit not in the cup playoffs over Washington ?
Tied on points but Detroit has more reg season than ins than wash ?
Upper_Enthusiasm_511
Maybe if Detroit had learned how to win a game in 60 minutes instead of 65, it’d be a different discussion. But they still couldn’t pull out a regulation win today.
