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

William Horcoff’s first hockey equipment didn’t exactly fit. Now 16 years old and already 6-foot-4 and 168 pounds following an 80-goal season in 80 games with the No. 1-ranked Little Caesars U15 team, Horcoff was learning how to play the game in 2012. “We were in Edmonton and it was my first year buying him his first
I have a message for Detroit Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman. Actually, it’s more of a request. Maybe even a borderline desperate plea. Here it is: Please take my money! You see, my wife and I had plans to treat our couple friends to see a Red Wings game this season at Little Caesars
As the 2022-2023 season comes to a close and the NHL playoffs start again without the Detroit Red Wings participating, it is time to honor the outstanding play of three players who battled through the season. The Detroit Red Wings playoff drought has now officially reached seven years, and too much of the chagrin of
[embedded content] Detroit – Honesty isn’t always the best policy in professional sports. But it is right now for Steve Yzerman, even if it makes him sound a bit sheepish, at times, as a general manager. Because when you’re on the outside looking in at the playoffs, as the Red Wings are again for a
Detroit − Four years into his tenure as general manager of the Red Wings, Steve Yzerman sees progress. The Wings won more games this season, improved statistically in the major categories, and were in the playoff chase for longer than they’ve been in recent seasons. But the Wings, obviously, aren’t quite where Yzerman wants them
Derek Lalonde’s message in his end-of-season availability matched what he said when it began: The Detroit Red Wings weren’t good enough. “I will give this group credit,” Lalonde said Friday afternoon, the day after the Wings finished the 2022-23 season with a 35-37-10 record. “I did not see this as a playoff team — where
Detroit — If the Red Wings had simply finished the season around mid-February, being above the playoff cutline and having games in hand, and playing good hockey in many areas, coach Derek Lalonde would have been just fine with it. “We’d probably be talking about me spending my coach of the year bonus already on
Now that it’s the offseason for the Detroit Red Wings, we can turn our focus to the cornerstone of rebuilding – the draft. With five top-50 picks in the 2023 NHL Draft, the Red Wings have a fantastic opportunity to upgrade their prospect pipeline. To kick things off, we’ll conduct a two-round mock draft. No
TAMPA, FLA. — Dylan Larkin brought it up. So did Moritz Seider and Derek Lalonde. The five-game losing streak that ended the Detroit Red Wings’ season with a 35-37-10 record benefitted their draft lottery odds, but that was scant balm for the guys who had just lost, 5-0, unable to muster even a single goal.
When Jeff Blashill manned the Detroit Red Wings bench, he was given a pretty long leash by general manager (GM) Steve Yzerman. Taking charge of personnel decisions was what Red Wings fans were most excited about with the hiring of Steve Yzerman, and by that time, their patience had been running thin for the most
TAMPA, FLA. — Losing their last five games did at least help the Detroit Red Wings’ draft lottery odds. They finish the 2022-23 season with a 35-37-10 record, in 24th place. That gives the Wings a 5% chance to pick first overall in June’s draft, and 5.4% chance to pick second. Teams can not move

Unfortunately, this will be the final postgame article of the 2022-23 season. Although the Detroit Red Wings took us on a roller coaster ride of a season, the reality is this organization missed the playoffs for the seventh straight season. Many of us are expecting a big offseason from general manager Steve Yzerman and the
TAMPA, Fla. — This was how the Detroit Red Wings’ season ended: With a resounding message that they need help scoring. They put the 82nd game in the books on Thursday at Amalie Arena, falling 5-0 to an opponent trying to regain some mojo going into the playoffs. The Tampa Bay Lightning ended a four-game slide
That’s it for another Red Wings hockey season. Game 82, the regular season finale, took place Thursday in Tampa Bay with the Wings falling to the Lightning 5-0. In a game befitting the regular season finale, with one team (the Wings) headed for the offseason and the other (Tampa) headed to the first-round of the
There were specific areas coach Derek Lalonde wanted to see the Red Wings improve upon during his first season with the team. For the most part, the Wings did get better in some important departments as the season came to a close Thursday in Tampa. The Wings will not be involved in the NHL playoffs
TAMPA, FLA. — Fittingly, Derek Lalonde finished his first year as head coach of the Detroit Red Wings where he earned the job.
