Speaking of playoffs and this team going forward, several of the players seem to think they could return to playoff hockey as soon as next season:
‘Next season’: Red Wings confident of quick return to playoffs
“Our goal is to try to get back there next year. Give ourselves a chance to get back to the playoffs.” (Helm)
“Next season,” said Abdelkader, of how quickly the Wings can re-enter the playoff picture. “We’re real close as a team. We’re going to have some young players who’ll get an opportunity to play on the team. We’ll have growth from within, (if) veteran guys maintain their levels (of production), young players will an opportunity to play and help the team,”
“There’s not a lot of difference,” DeKeyser said. “If you swing some of those one-goal games, just score a few extra goals here or there, your special teams improve a little bit, that all can make a big difference and add up points, for sure.”
I know they're not really going to say anything contrary to that, but it's better to just not comment, rather than appear so delusional.
I hope the Red Wings make a push for the playoffs next season and get swept in the first round just to taste your angry tears.
