The Detroit Red Wings have been eliminated from playoff contention and the streak is over. We knew this day would eventually come. It still feels weird that it’s here, even though we have known for months this was the year.
I did not pick this team to make the Playoffs at the start of the season, but again it still feels weird. This is the first ever Stanley Cup Playoffs that I will watch that did not feature the Red Wings.
We can look back at all the great years. We took many for granted. When they would lose in the first round in the mid 90’s and early 2000’s we would get mad.
