OctoPulse podcast: Yzerman, Lalonde review season, William Horcoff interview

Ted Kulfan talks about the Red Wings' season-ending news conferences with general manager Steve Yzerman and coach Derek Lalonde and William and Shawn Horcoff are the interview guests.

Kulfan said the team's season was a "step forward" despite missing the playoffs for a seventh consecutive season, tying the franchise's longest playoff drought from 1970-77.

"Points wise, it was a mild disappointment," Kulfan said on the podcast. "I think I had them pegged at 84 or 85 points but like Derek (Lalonde) has been saying these last couple of weeks it's going to be difficult to evaluate this team because it's almost like two completely different teams.
