Disappointment, optimism and votes of confidence were hot topics as this season’s Detroit Red Wings met one last time.
Today saw the Wings clean out their lockers and pose for a team picture. Marian Ilitch opted not to attend, as it was the first one since Mike Ilitch passed away in February.
It was an emotional day for many, as the disappointment of missing the playoffs for the first time in 26 seasons was emphasized by the Wings gathering just two days after playing their last game ever at Joe Louis Arena.
