Ottawa lives. Did not see that coming about 15 minutes ago.

Philips deserved better.

Here's everything we know about PWHL Detroit so far, plus some other things on hockey in the city, women's college hockey, and much more www.shapshotshockey.com/p/the-pwhl-h...

I've babbled previously about symbolism and all that and while I would have liked a PWHL team in Detroit sooner, I kind of love that - given how (or, Howe) important Number 9 is in Detroit hockey history - Detroit is the league's ninth team.

Stupid Stat of the Day: The Red Wings are winless all-time when closing out their season on the road against a 1990s NHL expansion team. #LGRW #RedWings https://www.detroithockey.net/2026/04/15/ssotd-panthers-vs-red-wings-4-15-2026/

Stupid Stat of the Day: The Red Wings are unbeaten all-time when visiting Eastern Conference teams on Mondays in April. #LGRW #RedWings https://www.detroithockey.net/2026/04/13/ssotd-lightning-vs-red-wings-4-13-2026/

This is the 4th time since March 1st where the Wings have held the lead in the final 10 minutes of the game and have gone on to lose. Absolutely unacceptable way to end the season

I'm kind of glad this is at home so the Wings get booed but I don't think it matters to this team at all.

So when are they announcing PWHL expansion?

Stupid Stat of the Day: The Red Wings are unbeaten in regulation all-time in games played on a Saturday in April against a team from a place that starts with "New." #LGRW #RedWings https://www.detroithockey.net/2026/04/11/ssotd-red-wings-vs-devils-4-11-2026/

Stupid Stat of the Day: The Red Wings are unbeaten in regulation all-time in their first game after a shootout loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets that goes more than the initial three rounds. #LGRW #RedWings https://www.detroithockey.net/2026/04/09/ssotd-red-wings-vs-flyers-4-9-2026/

Since 05-06, only one other team has ranked in the top-2 of their conference as late into the season as DET did this year (Jan 25th, 2026) and failed to make the playoffs 2015-2016 Bruins ranked 2nd in the East with 12 games to go and finished 4-8-1 to miss the playoffs on a tiebreaker…to Detroit

Shhh... Wouldn't want to be an outside influence.

How in the hell did two Jackets take each other out 3-on-3 and Detroit fail to take advantage?

Perron got tied up but there was no chance of a call at that point in the game.

Stupid Stat of the Day: The Red Wings have never missed the playoffs in a season where they beat the Blue Jackets in a home game in April that wasn't the last game of the season. Detroit has never... #LGRW #RedWings https://www.detroithockey.net/2026/04/07/ssotd-red-wings-vs-blue-jackets-4-7-2026/

Man, the Monday after the weekend that the Wings just had is a hell of a time to get a call from one of their ticket reps. Give them the day off, Chris.

This freaking team...

This freaking team...

Stupid Stat of the Day: The Red Wings are winless all-time in games played on Easter Sunday afternoon the day after a game against an Original Six opponent. #LGRW #RedWings https://www.detroithockey.net/2026/04/05/ssotd-red-wings-vs-wild-4-5-2026/

One of the things about this stupid team that lives rent-free in my brain is how last year, so much was made about how they clearly missed David Perron and that was part of why they had such a horrible start. Really, David Perron was the missing piece? Okay then...

Congrats on your final career goal, David Perron.

I feel like the difference isn't just the timeline. The Leafs tanked hard, got their new core, handed them the keys and said "Go do it" and they failed. The Wings wandered in the wilderness, built something of a core, eventually handed them the keys and said "Go do it" and they replied "Do what?"

And, like, if this was a young team that hadn't figured out how to win yet, some of this would be acceptable. But how many years have we been told that overpaying for vets was necessary to show the team how to win and then they seemingly _don't show the team how to win_?

This post has been rattling around in my head for 20 minutes and I think the problem is that this team never acts like they're embarrassed. McLellan will come out angry after a loss but the players are always like, "Welp, I guess we've got to be better" and then _not do it_.

Fans shouldn't wait until the end of the game tomorrow, this team should get booed coming onto the ice.

Stupid Stat of the Day: Every time the Red Wings have earned a 4-2 win on April 2 (4/2), they've followed it up with a win over the New York Rangers on April 4. #LGRW #RedWings https://www.detroithockey.net/2026/04/04/ssotd-rangers-vs-red-wings-4-4-2026/

Couch conversation about how Tomas Holmstrom wasn't allowed to stand at the edge of the crease because it obstructed the goalie from doing his job and Sean Avery wasn't allowed to wave his arms around like an idiot because it obstructed the goalie from doing his job...

Didn't even need to run over Ersson.

Stupid Stat of the Day: The Red Wings are winless all-time against the Philadelphia Flyers in games played on the second day of any month. #LGRW #RedWings https://www.detroithockey.net/2026/04/02/ssotd-flyers-vs-red-wings-4-2-2026/

10/10 weekend in Hockeytown 💯 Here's what you missed at the 2025-26 PWHL Takeover Tour presented by Ally in Detroit! 🎥 youtu.be/gHagBG3dy0w

Curious to see how much playing time Augustine gets in GR in the final games of the season. Griffins have the division locked up but could still battle for first overall in the league. Cossa's been struggling. Might be an opportunity to throw Augustine in and see what happens.

Stupid Stat of the Day: The Red Wings are winless all-time in games played on the road on March 31 in seasons when they have a losing record in the month of March. #LGRW #RedWings https://www.detroithockey.net/2026/03/31/ssotd-penguins-vs-red-wings-3-31-2026/

I've never been more convinced that this team is going to miss the playoffs and then win the lottery with a pick they traded away.

"We want a team" chant breaks out as the attendance is announced for today's #TakeoverTour game in Detroit.
