- We need to talk about what just happened to the Detroit Redwings as we recap both the Philadelphia Flyers vs the Washington Capitals and the Detroit Redwings vs the Montreal Canadiens (again). All that and more on today's NHL hockey video!

I finally decided to pay attention to the Flyers for the first time in 12 years, and this was the thanks I get???
In fairness they were doing really well until their starting goalie got traded to Prison HC
@@notachannel6097 who knew that asking him to keep his hands to himself was too much to ask for
@@notachannel6097 Yo, this was great, thank you sir.
I was so shocked and upset when i heard Hart was a part of the sexual assault scandal back in 2018 because he had one of the brightest futures in the NHL and was turning to be one of the best as well.@@LukeLeonettiUA-cam
The flyers are a joke of a team
The Caps empty net came 9 seconds after the Detroit tying goal so you really can’t say Torts dropped the ball on that one.
Torts and Philly should also have no business scoreboard watching as well, and any player will say the same. They're just focused on their own outcome and that's it. If your team has to rely on others for help, you're not going to get it more often than not.
Washington needed help from Philly, and Philly gave it to them. @@grtoocool
@@grtoocoolyeah rlly funny hearing that, since you guys literally got gifted the playoff spot by refs and the flyers with -37 score
It definitely wasn’t 9 seconds 🤡get educated i was watching both games live and there was at least 30-45 second difference
@@MrRoboman77 Even though the refs had that weird blown whistle when they lost the puck, they let the boys play. Sure it wasn’t all clean but they called it fair. They fucked up the goal and then immediately gave the flyers that tripping call to make it fair. And from then on called nothing on each side.
it was so sad seeing all players on the bench putting there heads down during the shootout bc they knew😔
Hello lol
🙁
They knew at the trade deadline when the garbage patch curse was done.
@@Depressedwingsfan hello aswell lol
You could see on his face after he scored the shootout goal how disappointed he was.
That Detroit goal with 3 seconds left would've been the story of the year had the Washington-Philly game gone the other way, but when your life depends on Philly, you're already dead.
They would have still needed to win in regulation and a Pittsburgh lost.
@@JescaML How? They were a point ahead of Pittsburgh and Montreal was out of it already.
Philly would've won if not for that quick whistle
@@nickfenton2334 that what the second Scenario said penguins would have won as it would have given them 90 points if Washington lost and the wings lost in overtime/shootout it would have also given them 90 points. So Pittsburgh would have won because if regulation wins Detroit had 27 to Washington and Pittsburgh 32
@@Napalmthrower that whistle was anything but quick. It was a mistake, no questions, but there was a decent pause before the whistle.
Seeing Washington beet the flyers and clinch the last spot and then watching the red wings win in a shoutout was heartbreaking
Not the delicious beets.
What’s a shoutout? Oh he means shootout
Nope. Go Caps!
Actually, it was elating, especially the way that went down (including Washington's empty-net go-ahead goal against Philadelphia shortly after Detroit's last-second-in-regulation goalie-pulled game-tying goal against Montreal).
And to borrow a quote from George Peppard, "I love it when a plan comes together."
As a Sabres fan, I struggle to remember what heartbreak feels like.
well atleast we have the draft to look forward to!
I tried to delete my comment out of shame. Is it still really up?
The bills every January lmao
God bless Dominik Hasek
As an Oilers fan, I can only counsel you to wait a onother decade or so, you will be rewarded.
Saw it live, screamed my head off for the Perron goal. Such a brutal finish, but glad to end the season on a high note. Go Wings!
If it wasn't 3am and I didn't have a dog on my lap asleep I'd have screamed at the oshie goal 😩
Although this was not as good as most of Detroit wanted, a lot of people picked the RW to finish 7th, so I would like to re-post what I said back in the first week of October:
Detroit has gone from 39 points in 2020, 48 in 2021, 74 points in 2022, and 80 points in 2023. Based on the level of play, the current roster, and without major injuries (after all Columbus lost 500 game hours due to player injuries this past season), I would be happy with 88 to 92 points. I think that with some contracts ending after this next season, development of prospects, and again no significant injuries, I would hope for 92 to 96 points the following season. Now if those numbers are enough to gain a playoff berth would be unknown. 92 points was enough for an Eastern berth in 2023, but required a 100 in 2022 & 96 in 2019. Just because a team has a winning season is no guarantee of a playoff - ask Pittsburgh whose one loss on last day kept them out of the post-season. Yet everyone is happy with Ottawa having 86 points last season and wants Detroit to be in that position this year.
As a Wings fan, this was heartbreaking. Can gripe and moan all we want about tiebreakers and such, but the Wings ruined their season themselves. We’ll be back, and hopefully this sting jumpstarts the squad next season.
I wish kane was coming back but he prolly wont
This was our chance it'll be another 20 years until we see the playoffs again.
You can't play horrible for a month and expect to slip into the playoffs.
@@MrBacchus18 that sums it up. Wings already had one bad stretch of hockey in December, and overcame it. Couldn’t have 2 stretches like that
They can’t win in regulation and that is what ultimately hurt them in the end.
The future looks promising in Detroit. They never quit on themselves or each other and it took all 82 games to keep them out of the playoffs.
They need to work on their development fast tho because the canadiens are gonne catch up to them by next season already
Delusional...what the hell are you taking about?!?! They quit during the entire month of March!!
Delusional...What the hell are you talking about?!?! They quit during the entire month of March!!
Delusional...What are you talking about?!?! They quit during the entire month of March and most of April!!
@@chip6954Larkin (the literal backbone of the team) was out and nobody played good hockey
That losing stint really screwed them over last month. Damn. Patty Kane would’ve been elite in the playoffs
What a story this would have been. Kane takes them to the playoffs on a shootout winner, after a literal story book last 2 games.
My god, what a beautiful thing to see. Kane came SO close but now he'll be remember as nothing but another fucking loser.
They didn't have Dylan Larkin for 20% of the season...
@@davevandebunte2949 Yes I think that’s well known.
Just an absolute rollercoaster of emotions. Total elation when Perron scores with 4 seconds left to the absolute downer of winning a game in a shootout and it meaning nothing. I'll get over it, but its gonna take more than a few hours to process the disappointment.
Nothing but respect for the wings coming from a ranger fan
I’m an Avs fan, I should hate the Wings out of pure nature, but I was so excited when Perron’s shot went in. That was incredible! Just too bad Washington had to win yet another boring game and ruin the fun. Good luck next year, Wings. Still hoping for that Avs-Wings Final someday!
Avs fan here as well. I've been looking forward to Detroit and Colorado both being relevant at the same time since Detroit moved to the East. I would love them to see each other in the Stanley Cup Finals one day.
We have some solid 2nd liners but nothing like what you have. We're going to need to find a way to pull in some actual star players in their prime if we hope to be more than a bubble team. Easier said than done. The draft and lottery system wasn't kind to us (pair of 4 spots in weaker draft years) during our leanest years.
We'll get to see some fun hockey, but nothing close to 96 though 2002.
As a wings fan I wish for the same
Wings fan here. Agreed! I tip my hat to you guys staying great.
W person
That is such a killjoy end of the season for the Pens and Red Wings
Eh... Crosby still has a few more seasons/cups in him. As a Caps fan, good luck for the next season.
Well they should’ve played better throughout the season 🤷♂️
Exactly. I wish the Pens would've just tanked, we could have used a top 10 pick this year (and the lottery shot, plus a quicker contributor that comes with it) rather than having to trade our 1st to the Sharks.
@@AttilatheThrillaThey were a different team with Ned in the net, wish they would've found out a little sooner, yet Jarry had a good season, for him at least.
Frustrating.
@@AttilatheThrilla in technicality the Caps are 40-42 and the Red Wings are 41-41. Also the Wings have more ROW and a better goal differential.
Bro I’m a die hard hawks fan and just can’t imagine what the wings are going through bc they are the better team than the caps and it just stinks that a team who has a -37 is playing the rangers
Caps are 2-2 against the rangers this season. In the last 5 playoff series, 4 of them went to game 7. It won’t be a sweep
lol the whole reason wings aren't in the playoffs is because they couldn't beat the caps... can you repeat that please?
@@holyspider9206 I know I mean I like the wings and caps but it just stinks that the better team hadn’t gotten in, also the Caps and Rangers got some bad blood so I think the series will be good hopefully
Wanted to do it for Kaner, don’t think he will be back sadly
Especially when Philly should have won with the ref blowing the goal call.
The Redwings end with 41 wins, 41 losses, 91 pts and a +4 goal diff. The Capitals end with 40 wins, 42 losses, 91 pts, and a -37 goal diff. Show this to your friends who don't follow hockey and ask them to guess which one made the playoffs...
Yawn. Win more games.
Yeah so what gives?! Why did that grumpy ass Putin sympathizer's team get in and Detroit didn't?
@@andrewcrenshaw8093He doesn't play for either team...
And caps had more overtime losses, too. Make it make sense 🤦🏾♂️
@@andrewcrenshaw8093🤡🤡🤡
Boston and Toronto in the first round is going to go crazy!
and be the same ending as every other year!
@@plaserov Your probably right but as a leafs fan I am a bit more optimistic
as a Leafs fan, it's crazy TERRIFYING. That being said, hope they finally slay the dragon
The Leafs have chosen the form of their destructor...
@@CloneGamer34as a bruins fan I think this year will be different lol
As a Michigander, hockey player, and lifelong wings fan, I am just honored to have watched one of the greatest hockey moments on live tv. I will never forget that goal in the 3rd period off the draw. Honestly, to me, watching that last goal was worth far more than a cup victory. It inspired me to never give up hope, no matter the odds.
As a Red Wings fan, I am sad but we did this to ourselves with those losing streaks. Had our amazing moments this season but hopefully will have more next season.
They did it to themselves, you had nothing to do with it
yup if we just went 0-6-1 instead of 0-7-0 after we got that stupid patch we would be in, oh well hope for a better year next year
Considering that EVERYONE said we would be lucky to finish 7th, the end result is sad, but not terrible. Back in the first week of October I said I would be happy with between 88 and 92 points. I still stand by that statement. I think that with some contracts ending after this season, development of prospects, and no significant injuries, I would hope for 92 to 96 points the next season with the possibility of a playoff berth.
finally a smart Wings fans. Im seeing so many people blame it on the Flyers and crying about the Capitals +/-
@@wresling300when real hockey fans know you need to win games in regulation to break the tie breaker.
Torts just made himself enemy #1 between the Pens and Red Wings. How do you manage make Detroit and Pittsburgh agree on something?
I feel like if any combination of things can it's Torts and Philadelphia.
Nah, I doubt the Pens and Wings blame Torts. Flyers HAD to win in regulation, so they had to pull the goalie. It’s not like Torts threw the game intentionally. Philly tried their best - they weren’t expected to even come close to the playoffs this year.
@@OldRustySteeleThe Wings eliminated them when they went to OT.
@@OldRustySteele and I hope they never do again
@@OldRustySteelewith 3 mintues left? plenty of time to still put on offensive pressure without the huge risk of losing the game instantly due to an empty netter, which is exactly what happened. I agree with the decision, just not with that much time left.
Damn. My heart is actually broken right now.
The pens went on a crazy run and fell just short. Watching everything going right for the pens tonight and then the empty net goal, and the final second goal for the wings just broke my heart for the pens.
same, I'm seriously devastated more than most since, a) I counted on my fav team, MTL to win at least one of those games, they were winning both especially the one 2 days ago when leading 4-1, of course they blew it, they didn't risk their chance of doing what they do best, going to overtime after dominating and leading the entire game b) Pens are my second favorite team and because of the Habs losing in OT 4 times in a row, 3 times to critical teams in the race, they, but especially last night removed all hope for the Pens. My third team (out of a top 3) is Edmonton but those games are gonna be so damn late, my heart broke when Perron scored, I felt more bad for Sid than anything when that happened.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Appreciate the wings coverage. Big sad tn
Lesson is not to put yourself in the position where your fate is dictated by somebody else and you can't do nothing but watch.
It's not like the Red Wings did that on purpose, damn.
everyone is upset but the caps had a 5% chance to make the playoffs and worked hard and did it… we beat the bruins 2x and pulled off some difficult victories. some calls may have not been the best, sure, but the caps deserved it. they fairly got in.
Video talks like Caps didn't deserve the playoff spot, very sour tone. Detroit didn't play well enough to deserve a spot, there's nothing heartbreaking about it.
was at work, wanted the caps in cause iont like the red wings. saw the game was tied with seconds left in montreal and tuned in to the caps radio broadcast JUST in time to hear that beautiful Oshie goal. Work of art
LOL, LMAO even
What boiled down to two extremely lucky goals, and the ref completely screwing over Philly with a botched call disallowing the first goal. Tell me you're not a hockey fan without telling me you're not a hockey fan. Poser
Did you just call an empty-netter a beautiful goal…
Exhibit #80956 in the case of Detroit vs. Everybody.
Many thought the Caps would be bottom 5 in the league this year. They played well this season and Deserved to make the playoffs. Even so, I can’t believe just how many people are still insulting and trash talking the Caps. It’s outrageous. Sure, I will admit there were some bad calls, but over 82 games, the Caps beat the Pens, Flyers, and Wings fair and square. Give some respect to the Caps, they worked hard and didn’t get in by accident. They were the underdogs the whole season, lost Backstrom and Kuzy, and still managed to get in. I respect that. They got in through straight grit and determination, and though I do admit Detroit would have been awesome to watch in the playoffs, you cannot discount how much the Caps have wanted and worked hard for this every single day.
We shut out the bruins not once twice. Beat Vancouver, beat Vegas(shut them out too)...we've had a rough season with injuries but man they have done well in tough games. Which hopefully sets a precedent for the playoffs 🤞
They deserve to make the playoffs at all ,Detroit had a way better season and did way better things than Washington,caps didn’t even do 💩.Washington has been in the basement all year Detroit has been in wildcard all year, so if you look at the standings one more time unless your blind,Washington got very lucky cause they made it in by being tied with my wings,capitals shouldn’t be there red wings had more wins,don’t give me caps had more regulation wins that has nothing to do with it that’s just a ridiculous rule.
With amazing performances Detroit had and the teams we have beaten,how we beat them and the new improvements,Hockeytown definitely deserved to see playoff hockey again it’s been too long,if you believe Washington deserves to be in the playoffs over Detroit then your dumb a f.
Washington is going into the playoffs and there not a team that is a hungry team anymore,there only hungry for helping ovi get his silly record past Gretzky .happy first round exit
@@cameronfranke8566 someones bitter
Also the same Wings and Flyers collapsed very bad.
@@cameronfranke8566playoff stats don’t count towards career stats they are separate..
I'll never forget this.
You will, one day
Just watched the press conference with torts after the game. He didn’t get the message from Detroit until after the goal was scored. Unfortunate situation for everyone
They can’t win games in regulation and that is what killed their chances.
I love that you are a big star wars and hockey fan, same here man both just great subjects to cover.
Wings fan from sweden here, i watched this in the middle of the night and when Perron scored I got so happy what i had to contain myself from not screaming. I was euphoric and right after.. yeah. This sucks
Wings deserved it more the way they finished..but also can't go on a 7 game losing streak a month before the season ends, so lock up Kane and looking forward to next season fellas
Also can't lose twice in two weeks to your direct competition (Washington).
@@lankancheetah Wings drastically outplayed Washington in their last meeting, but they still lost. That's hockey sometimes.
@lankancheetah even with those games, wouldn't have mattered if they had won 2 or 3 games during the 7 losing streak, would have clinched a while ago
@@giggidy316 or had they not blown the 4-0 lead at home to San Jose and lost in OT. That point would’ve saved them.
@lankancheetah there's a lot of games a point could have been saved, but a 7 game losing streak with a month or so left in the season is the biggest dagger, like I said if they get 2 or 3 wins in the losing run those extra lost points against san jose and all wouldn't matter
Detroit could've made the playoffs had they won one of 2 games vs the Caps in the last 10 games.
They put 45 shots in man. They really left it all out there. They'll be back next season.
@@jpoirier8967 the team might look very different though. Perron, Sprong, Kane, Ghost all UFA. Seider, Raymond all RFA needing major raises.
@@lankancheetah good thing we will have around 36 mil in cap space next year
@@lankancheetah you're right, and maybe that's somewhat of a good thing. I think perron will be back for a year (I both love and hate that) and Sprong is likely a cheap resign considering how the second half of his season went, though I think Berggren could take over for him easily and be less of a defensive liability. Really a tossup as to whether Kane comes back and I could see Ghost taking off. Would love to see them acquire Chatfield to play opposite of Walman or Edvinsson. Regardless, they definitely need a couple of solid UFA signings or a trade (with all of the capital that they have), and especially need to address the goalie deficiency (again).
@@michaelgazdecki they also have to make sure they dont fall into the Sabres trap from last years. High expectations from almost making the playoffs to crashing the next season.
Thanks for the recap.
Heartbreaking to not make it but we've seen the team make a big step forward this season. Can't wait for the next one!
All I'm saying is great season for Detroit to get it down to game 82, but they should have beaten the caps in their final mu against eachother if they wanted to make the playoffs
They had 45 shots
It's tough, they really did their best but it's still early in the rebuild. Next year they'll be even stronger and hungrier. The fact that they got this far has been an exciting bonus for us Redwings fans. 🛞🪽 Lgrw
Yeah and not imploded for the last 25 games of the season. I'm a Wings fan but they squandered an 8 point lead for the wild card. Can't blame anyone but themselves for missing the playoffs again.
@@devinporter532 Don't forget that before the season started EVERYONE said that Detroit would be lucky to get 82 points and most likely finish 7th in the division. 91 points and almost in is still pretty good given what EVERYBODY said about us back then.
Exactly. Everyone just forgets that was the most important game that really determined the winner. Plus the Wings had another loss against the Caps 2 weeks before that one
It’s heartbreaking but this team this year proves Detroit is improving and they got loads of solid prospects in their system, they’ll be in the playoffs next year for sure considering they weren’t even supposed to make the playoffs based on what everyone was saying and the fact they lost due to a tiebreaker and were in it all season…they’ll make it
That icing call was BRUTAL, if it had been waived off as it should have been, most of the other drama wouldn't have occurred.
The Capitals won 1 second before the Wings-Habs shootout started, literally, I was keeping track of both games.
I'm super proud of this team, however, you can't lose 2 games to Arizona and blow a 4-0 lead to the Sharks and lose the game and expect to be in the playoffs. Great progression this year! LETS GO RED WINGS!
Losing 2 games to a talented young Coyotes team by a combined score of 8-1 really says it all
The flyers should be fined. Joke of a team.
I'm a Pens fan so obviously I would've loved to see them get that playoff spot, but I was really hoping the Wings would get the playoff spot over the Caps, they're so much more fun to watch and they had such a strong end to the season
It's very funny to see nobody give the Capitals any credit especially over these past few games. Everyone said they wouldn't make it after the All star break because they had one of the toughest strength of schedules in the league and still found a way to win close clutch games, Backstrom was forced to retire, they sold at the deadline and lost two top 6 forwards in Kuzy and Mantha and still found a way to play through that, then at the end of the season we lose 2 of our top 4 D in Sandin/Jensen and the calls up killed it and didn't fold under pressure. Everyone considers this a heart break because Crosby played great the past month and Detroit made heroic comebacks to save their seasons, but maybe if the Pens didn't reach a point in the season where they looked like they had a chance at Celibrini and if Detroit didn't lose 8 games in a row getting outscored 31-12 they wouldn't be here in the first place and I see nobody discrediting either of these team for this. As a caps fan the Rangers are the team I least wanted to face because the capitals suck against fast teams with elite offensive fire power as everyone can tell by their goal differential and they do way better winning close games against teams that get their wins playing good defense lile the Hurricanes/Bruins so I really waned the Caps first round MU to be either of these 2 not the Rangers.
They said it was done. They said Ovi only had 8 goals in 43 games, the team looks old, we don't have Backy, and Kuzy was playing like a minor league player. But no, despite all the adversity and the toughest second half schedule, we defy all odds and made it. It's a win for the team regardless of what happened in the next few games against the rangers. The young players look good, Coach Carbery is excellent. I remember it was reported that Ovi immediately called Coach Carbery and asked how do we get back into the winning circle after his hire. Well, this is how. Caps are still fighting for sth after 82 regular season games.
Too long; didn't read. Caps don't deserve any credit. They still suck. Go Rangers.
@@pv2xeek Maybe you guys will continue your tradition of beating the Capitals in the playoffs and still never being able to win a cup.
@@ryuhoshi2774 lol not a Rangers fan. Caps still suck. Enjoy getting swept in the first round with your 40yr old forward and -30 point differential.
Pens must be heartbroken as well - they saw everything happen without being able to do anything about it
Detroit won anyway so it wouldn't even have mattered if the caps lost.
I’m glad the Pens didn’t make it. They were playing really well at the end.
Why do people keep talking about whether Torterella knew or not? Why would he care? He's focused on the game in front of him and the team he coaches. And his two options are: 1) go to overtime, 100% get eliminated or try to win in regulation and have a small chance at making it. Why should anything else factor in? It's not his concern whether Detroit or the Caps make it in. He doesn't coach them.
If your team is eliminated, you don't send your goalie to the bench in a tie game. Think back to the last time a team pulled their goalie when the extra point wasn't a necessity and you'll be thinking for a time longer than I care to assume. Nothing to blame Torts for, but it's a guarantee he doesn't pull the goalie and subject his team to an early exit from the last game of the season if the regulation win doesn't make a difference. It's just the way the cookie crumbles.
@@icedo1013 u just missed the entire point the comment talked about.. He doesnt care that they were already elminated nor does he care at the moment. Hes focused on his game entirely so he wouldn't know. He did what he had to in order to give the Flyers a chance.
@@icedo1013 Regulation win was the only way the Flyers had a chance. How about you read up on it before commenting?
@@icedo1013 dude the point of his comment was saying he doesn't care about the wings or caps....He js cares about his own team. read the comment before replying
It just makes the tears much more sweeter.
red wings fan here; i’m a very young fan but i’ve been a red wings fan the whole time i’ve been a hockey fan (about 8 years). this is the first season where i’ve paid very close attention to the wings. going through the highs (like january and february) and the lows (most of month of march) was a lot of fun and kept me on the edge oft seat; especially the last few weeks. this is the best season we’ve had in 8 years. it absolutely sucks to end like this but we’ll be so back next year. LGRW. 🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙
Detroit can’t seem to win games in regulation and that’s what ultimately hurt them in the end.. when there’s a tie at the end of the season. The tiebreaker goes to regulation wins that has no overtime and no shootout wins included.
Either way, any of the 4 teams that would've clinched would get destroyed by the Rangers.
Pit made me uncomfortable as a Rangers fan
@@EckhartsLadderwish the Isles were gone as well
@@EckhartsLadderSame here. Crosby found the fountain of youth lately.
@EckhartsLadder they blew a 3-1 playoff lead in the 21-22 season
Sutherland's 🗑call (assuming we're ignoring the butterfly effect) eliminated 3 other teams. I don't understand why the rules aren't set up for overturn nonsense like that. I empathize big time with Wings fans on this one. Was really cheering for you guys to make the playoffs, as a Leafs fan.
so caps win because of refs but a terrible icing call isn’t the reason the red wings won? the hypocrisy
@@alankleich639 no no, that was a 'fortunate' call
You would never be able to overturn a call like that since the other team could always argue they stop playing when they heard the whistle
@@snacktastic2302 and the early whistle was a fortunate call what’s your point
@@alankleich639that was an icing…like of the textbook variety
I'm both a Red Wings and Canadiens fan. I was happy to see Hutson playing so well already and Slaf getting his 20th goal of the season... I put my pride as a Habs fan aside to see the Red Wings through to the playoffs, and when Perron scored the game tying goal, I started jumping up and down like a maniac, unaware that the Caps would score shortly after. Seeing the Wings be eliminated like that, it's gonna take a while to get over it. But I believe the future is bright, both for Detroit and Montréal.
As a Wings fan all my life it is heartbreaking, it sucks to get so close but miss out on the dance. That said we (the Redwings) had the opportunity between Feb 29th to March 12 to take our fate out of other teams hands, and place it squarely in our own hands. Bravo to the teams that made it! I wish for safety for each player and that each team puts in the performance that in the end, they can look back and say the left it all on the ice. We will see you next season :)
even more interesting was a preview of the first round, Toronto should start freaking out.
I love how Boston didn't even try to play tdy lmao
As a Pens fan, I'm sad we're out, but knowing the Red Wings tied it with 5 seconds left andwinning, only to be out genuinely hurts,
THAT'S what hurts you? You're a Penguins fan, but your team losing hurts less than a rival team not making the playoffs? You should be celebrating this. Fuck Detroit. Fuck their entire team, all their fans, and their entire city.
They had to win in regulation with both a Washington and Pittsburgh lost.
Seeing detroits season end is like thanos smile while watching the beautiful sunset.
The Detroit Redwings really took "heartbreaking" to a whole new level! 😅
as the leafs fan i agree the refs this year are all shiiii they should be all replaced
This is so sad man, feel so bad for larks.
Imagine being detroit. needing a win AND needing washington to lose. and learning during the overtime, that it doesnt matter anymore
NY and Carolina in the second round again this year… that series is going to be a banger.
“Egregious” is exactly what I said after that early whistle. LFGR.
The puck went 20 feet in the air. The goalie made a clutching motion as if he had the puck. Watch the video. The ref blew the play dead based on what he saw. It was the right call.
@@Dick_Z_Normas Definitely the right call just a really unlucky break
Honestly, when it comes to who gets in the playoffs. The nhl should do waht the mlb does and have a tiebreaker game with the hone team being the team who won the regular season tiebreaker. That would mean we'd have game 83, Detroit @ Washington, friday night. Winner makes the playoffs.
Would be so cool
MLB doesn't do game 163 anymore
Was the tight race right down to the last game amongst 4 or 5 teams not exciting enough for you? If the regular season isn't enough for a team to make the playoffs, too bad. It's just a cash grab by these other leagues in my opinion.
There is a tie breaker stupid. It’s called regulation wins. No overtime and no shootout wins. Detroit has 27 while Washington has 32. Detroit cannot win in regulation.
I felt so bad for them.
I was really hoping Philly would pull off the win.
I like Ovechkin,and am glad he gets in, but i always cheer for original 6 teams in situations like this
I'm a Rangers fan also, but after last season losing in the first round, I never count anyone out, especially lower seed teams. Florida barely squeaked into the playoffs last year and they went all the way to the Finals. Playoff hockey is always a different kind of hockey
Exactly. There are no easy opponents in the playoffs.
As a wings fan i can’t even be upset. We had our chance, we played the caps 2 weeks ago and lost in regulation 🤷🏻♂️
I am just numb inside.
That's because you have very few pain receptors inside your body.🤓☝️
I don’t get how Detroit missed the playoffs, they had more wins than Washington. It just goes to show how messed up the points system is in the NHL.
Lifetime 30-year-old Detroit native and Red Wings fan. May have been a heartbreaker last night but all of the mistakes I’m seeing my team make we weren’t going to stop making them if we had made the playoffs and would have probably had a first round exit. It was an interesting season to see if we were going to be taking a step backwards or a step forward to being a consistently competitive team in the league. I would say we moved forward this year
Feel worse for Sid and the Pens. The man carried his team so far this year. Still elite at 36 years old but the team couldn’t get there. Detroit has a future. This may have been the Penguins last chance
Any reasonable Red Wings fan was honestly happy to have meaningful games this deep into April. They better get the bags ready for Raymond and Mo!
Looking forward to a Rangers / Oilers Cup final!
Neither of those teams Is making the finals bud
Rangers, yes. Nyet to the oilers.
To be fair, the refs missed a guy hopping off the flyers bench during a 2 on 1 break for Washington
you saw that too eh?
The Wings tying goal should have even happened with that ridiculous icing call
Pulling the goalie AFTER detroit was already in ot is dumb
They didn't know that on the bench...
Hah hah, suck it Wings!

Yes, I'm still salty.
At least Detroit had a way better season than Philly 😂 ,we beat you more than you beat us,Detroit should be the one in the playoffs,with the amazing performances we did and the new improvements we definitely deserved our season to continue.
At least our goalie isn’t a rapist 🤡
Why are you laughing? You just admitted to being a Flyers fan.
I went from total elation, running around my house screaming like a lunatic, to being stoic and nonverbal for 2 days. They had chances to lock down the WC spot and blew it, but those last two games were top notch hockey.
Man those last few games were beyond exciting to watch regardless of the season outcome
That tiebreaker rule is so stupid. It should be total wins instead of only counting regulation wins. Now you have washington getting in the playoffs instead of detroit despite them having more losses.
Bet you'd have a different opinion if the shoe was on the other foot
Why would you punish the team that won MORE in regulation? Win at 5v5… there’s no 3v3 or shootout in the playoffs.
maybe detroit should have played better when they played the caps
You had less points. Yzerplan failed
@@holyspider9206 I guess I can kind of see why, but at the same time you shouldn't be rewarding a team for losing either.
The officiating this year has been a dumpsterfire. It needs to be corrected.
A lot of heart, unfortunately the team needs size and speed. Hopefully sour taste at the end of this season will carry over next year igniting more consistent play. I'll be a Wings fan for life, it's all I know after 52 years of following them. Thanks boys!
My family has had season tickets for capitals since they started in dc. For the first time in my life, thank you flyers
I'm a Caps fan, and while I do agree the officials were extremely lazy tonight, both teams had quite a few penalties that were not called that could've affected the game just as much as the unallowed goal did. Sometimes things don't go how they should, but realistically there were probably many bad calls in earlier games this season that affected the standings just as much as the Caps/Flyers game. It's part of the sport (unfortunately). Detroit, I can't believe how hard you guys pushed for that final spot! It was fun (and nerve-wracking for me) to see your determination to acquire every point you had the chance to get. Now to the playoffs!
*Whelp! Looks like it's time for me to root for the 'Canes this playoff season!*
The call about the vertical puck was not egregious. You don't like it because it helped eliminate your team, but they blew the whistle normally, because everyone lost track of the puck... It bounced off a player when it landed, so according to the rules, no goal. It was a perfect call.
The NHL is absolutely incredible. What a season this has been.
As a caps fan my heart was in my ass for the last half of that 3rd period. So glad we won but good god it was stressful.
Same. It was the most stressful game of the season so far.
No pressure no diamonds baby -RG3
@@fromhereon yessir
@@utah9112glad we got through it
Selling at the deadline and being in a retool and still making the playoffs with a first time coach and -37 goal differential is insane. Couldn’t be more proud.
You forgot refs missing many calls in the last few games to help Washington.
@@deannaray1726 They don't ask how. They ask how many. And at the end of the season, we have 91 points and 32 RWs, that's how many for you.
@@deannaray1726 cry some more 😥😢😭
Patrick Kane to his agent: “I’ve made a serious mistake..” 💀🤣🤣
I mean to be honest, the call between Washington and Philadelphia you're talking about at 2:30 is 100% correct according to the rulebook. The referees are not making a bad call whatsoever, however, the rule reaaaaally needs to change this upcoming season. Yes the referees are human and they can lose sight of the puck. But if it somehow ends up in the net after the whistle, and no more "deliberate action" has been done to further move the puck into the net, they should really be able to switch it up to a good goal. This isn't the referees fault, it's the league and rulebooks fault.
I know the caps are gonna get absolutely hammered against the rangers but as a Washington native I can’t help but chuckle at all the mayhem this has caused
Remember last year when the Bruins were going to sweep the Panthers? Yeah me too. We are 2-2 this season against the Rangers. We'll see what happens but there is always people like you ready to discount teams. Playoffs is a whole other beast. Sounds more like you are jealous.
@@TPGRiT Just want to make it clear that I am a caps fan, not sure why I wrote the comment like this but I’m not jealous of the team I root for lol
Let’s not talk about it. Had it been any other team against the Caps, they wouldn’t have pulled the goalie with the game tied. Makes me sick to my stomach. I hope the Rangers sweep them
Definitely biased as a caps fan, but there's something at least to be said about how players react (or don't) right after the whistle is blown on the no-goal call. Either way, I agree that it's an unacceptable whistle there.
Man the Wings had me rooting for them these past couple weeks, some sick last minute goals and OT wins to keep the dream alive. Hopefully Larkin and Raymond can carry their play over to next season
Sad we missed the playoffs, but glad we proved everyone wrong who said we'd finish behind Ottawa and Buffalo this year 🥹
I’m honestly more sad that the Penguins didn’t get that spot. The capitals??? Seriously bro that sucks I really would rather see Crosby in the playoffs over Ovi, fucking Boston man they had to win against penguins and then lay a fat egg against the caps the day after
WHOMP WHOMP
Probably strategic bc redwings beat Boston a lot this season.
@@kylemurawsky4310 caps had the only two shutouts against Boston this season tho lol
Cry somewhere else
Yeah i agree, i wanted to see crosby and karlsson in round 1. Don't imagine any of the teams in the race for that last wild card would make it out of round 1 anyway though so whatever
The intensity that will now be brought to bear by the Red Wings during every regular season game, next season and on, will be something the league will have to fear as long as this core is together.
Every point counts and that's why I love the NHL! Down to the last game. A few roster adjustments that actually pan out and the Wings will be in next year.
Yup Detroit can’t win games in regulation and that is what hurt their chances
-37 goal differential and Washington snakes their way into the playoffs
They beat Detroit twice in the last 10 games. They earned that spot.
@@lankancheetahthanks the refs!!
And Detroit couldn't win in regulation. OT team. Whats your point
Torts did that to spite the team that eliminated them … with all the coaches, and assistants, on the bench in the Sky boxes, you cannot tell me that they weren’t following the Detroit-Montreal game in real time, you can’t tell me that Torts and his staff weren’t notified immediately. I wish someone could prove it, and if true, ban that POS from the NHL.
Who pulls the goalie with 3 minutes left in a must win game that’s 1-1, and you don’t even control the offensive zone. Get the puck in deep put it on net, force a face off. What he did ? Either vindictive or stupid …
You really think the coach who banned their players from viewing ipads mid game would be watching another game in the midst of his team fighting for a playoff spot? Listen to yourself, torts does not go by the norm. I would bet money that torts didnt gaf about what was happening in MTL during his game. Again philly NEEDED the regulation win, torts had to make a desperate play with his goalie and the sooner the better it would have been.
Will there be a bracket challenge league this year ?
I can't believe the caps are in the playoffs. What a season.
