The calendar flipped to March… and so did the Detroit Red Wings season.
For the fourth straight year, the Red Wings fell apart when it mattered most. What once looked like a playoff team — built on health, momentum, and elite goaltending — completely unraveled.
This episode of Red Wings Rant breaks down:
The illusion of early-season success driven by health and hot goaltending
The drop-off from elite to “just good” in net with John Gibson and Cam Talbot
Back-to-back embarrassments vs. the Philadelphia Flyers and Pittsburgh Penguins
A major disconnect between Todd McLellan and the locker room
Why Dylan Larkin and the leadership group are running out of answers
We also dive into insights from Max Bultman on how Detroit’s season unraveled — from the Simon Edvinsson injury exposing depth issues, to special teams collapsing, to a team that simply stopped showing urgency.
This isn’t just about losing games.
It’s about a team that, right now, doesn’t look like it cares enough to win them.
And somehow… they’re still in it.
