Game Day Updates: Red Wings at Rangers
One down. With a fanbase collectively pleading for signs of a pulse, the Red Wings mostly delivered in Thursday’s victory over the Flyers. It wasn’t a perfect effort, but they started on time, they played physical, they put the game away late. We’ll take it, gladly. The reward? Even higher stakes. Detroit is now tied for the second Wild Card position, with Ottawa holding the tiebreaker by virtue of more regulation wins. The Senators’ win on Thursday was about the only blemish in...
Flyers face do-or-die game with playoffs on the line
The Philadelphia Flyers are making a playoff push that everyone is on board with — well, at this point they are. They’ve been too good to wish for losses to improve the draft pick by a significant amount, so they might as well try to win and get a possibly brief playoff appearance that would give one of the youngest teams in the NHL a beneficial experience. But, with the 4-2 loss to the Detroit Red Wings on Friday night they are now in a place where Saturday night while hosting the New Yo...

Game Day Updates: Red Wings at Flyers
Folks, we did it. We’re Andy Dufresne at the end of The Shawshank Redemption . We’ve tunnelled out, and we’re finally free. We may not look or smell right for a while, but we’re out. It was hell. But we’re innocent. (Sorry for any spoilers of a 32-year-old film.) It’s April. Believe it or not, this was actually the best March the Red Wings have had in the last six years (and the year prior was when COVID hit so… it’s the best in the last seven years): 2020-21: 5-7-1 (11 pts...
The Flyers’ playoff chase is alive — but is it actually worth it?
With another crucial game Thursday against Detroit, the Philadelphia Flyers find themselves on the outside looking in, but nearing the doorstep. A victory against the Red Wings and that pushes them to 88 points. Should they have any semblance of good fortune they had Tuesday night concerning the other four teams in the hunt (Islanders, Columbus, Ottawa, and Detroit) losing, it could put them into a playoff spot. That’s the smaller picture. Others might see this upcoming three-in-four as t...

Insider: Red Wings’ Steve Yzerman May Take Step Back After Season
The Detroit Red Wings have gone into a swoon. 3-6-1 in their last 10 games has left them tied with the Ottawa Senators for 5th in the Atlantic Division, and they're now two points out of a Wild Card berth in the Eastern Conference. This was shaping up to be the year that the Wings finally got back into the playoffs for the first time in a decade. So what happens if they don't make it? Insider Elliotte Friedman, speaking on NHL Morning Skate on NHL Network Radio on SiriusXM, relays ...
Quick Hits: Are the Red Wings in a Culture Crisis?
Hopefully, your emotions (and eyes) have settled if you watched the entire game against Pittsburgh last night. What an absolute toilet show. The Detroit Red Wings continue to display their lack of killer instinct in must-win games. It’s almost like they’re fully content with letting March get the best of them. What the hell, guys? Do you even enjoy playing this wonderful sport? You’re staring at the longest streak of playoff-less seasons in the league, and you just…keep laying eggs? Shame...

Penguins/Red Wings Recap: No one can stop Mantha and Rakell; Pens win 5-1
Pregame The Penguins welcome Evgeni Malkin back from a four-game absence with a hand injury, but they have a scratch so late it doesn’t make the lineup card. Bryan Rust does NOT play tonight after taking warmup, his lower body injury keeps him out so Avery Hayes is in the game in place with the […]

Game Day Updates: Red Wings at Penguins
Just listen to the coach. Todd McLellan is always good for a money quote, and the best one coming out of Monday’s practice, per MLive , was this: “You shouldn’t be trying to extract competitiveness or heaviness out of the players at this time.” That’s exactly it. Out of context, it’s a direct callout to the players. In full context (linked above), it may not have been quite as cutting — he’s answering a question on how to right the ship after a slide, and he talked about how the...
