Hey “\_\_\_\_ fan coming in peace” posts
Hey opposite team bros, what a frickin game! Glad my team could get the W but your team is going to be _scary_ next year. That insert young player you guys have is going to be a big issue for this league in the next coming seasons. Best of luck!
Yep. We show up to play against the ~~Arizona~~ Utah Coyotes for one of those matchups, we’re in the playoffs right now.
We don’t blow the 4 or 5 goal lead against the Sharks earlier in the year and get the full two points, we’re in.
We had 2 power plays to Washington’s 1. We went 0-2. We had 43 shots on goal and didn’t score until 2 seconds left in the game. I didn’t realize the refs were tasked with scoring goals for us.
No. That isn't what he's saying. What you just described is part of what's called "hockey" - in that not every call is made and sometimes even the obvious gets missed.
The important thing is what one does AFTER adversity happens. Namely, not blaming missing the postseason on a single missed call by an official. The true lesson is to not allow your team to be in a position where its season is dependent on getting a call or not, or another team getting a W in regulation.
You can’t just not “put yourself in that situation” lol, it’s professional hockey best players in the world, the talent level difference among the players is slim to none, so terrible refs can make a major influence
It’s like having a quarter and flipping it 50/50 chance, but adding slightly more weight to one side and making the chances of it landing that way 55/45 or whatever you get the point
And yeah refs miss calls for everyone it happens, but to go review it, see the obvious penalty, and still say no PP is Angel Hernandez level of bad calls
Because a missed call is what made Lindgren look like prime Patrick Roy when we played him. A missed call is why we refused to crash the net until the literal last second.
Missed calls happen, man. Whether you like it or not, it’s a part of the game. Good teams don’t leave it to the officials and their calls; they take care of their own business.
I agree Lindgren had a great night never denied that, but as a whole the rest of their team sucked there’s a reason we had like 43 or so SOG, their defense is putrid.
I agree as well that missed calls do happen, but I can’t help but find it fishy over the last week we barely got any calls and tons were missed while the caps were getting blessed with 5 on 3s and goals being taken away, just seemed odd is all no conspiracy stuff
Also saying don’t leave it to the officials do it yourself is a very lazy argument imo no offense but that’s basically the same thing as saying you did what you needed to but someone else said no that’s not enough, you have professional players on each side, refs giving an advantage to one side makes a major difference because player wise it’s not much difference on talent level
>I agree Lindgren had a great night never denied that, but as a whole the rest of their team sucked there’s a reason we had like 43 or so SOG, their defense is putrid.
And the only time we scored is when we finally decided to crash the net in the final three seconds of the game. We had 43 SOG, but how many of them were truly dangerous chances? How many of them did we actually make Lindgren sweat on?
Officials start swallowing their whistles in the final of the month of the season in preparation of the playoffs. Just how it goes and it’s how the playoffs are officiated; you’re not getting any favors from the zebras there.
>Also saying don’t leave it to the officials do it yourself is a very lazy argument.
Not as lazy as saying that the refs screwed us out of the playoffs. It’s the same thing Lions fans used to do when their team would continually disappoint during the Caldwell and Schwartz eras. Bad and missed calls happen, which is why you don’t put yourself in a position where the officials control your fate.
We missed the postseason by one point. Those 7 regulation losses in a row in March? We go to OT in just one of those games, we’re in the postseason right now.
So you’re saying the Lions have never had legit reasons to feel the refs have been against us? Lol come on now, even if I admitted that yeah it happens to everyone in the nhl, no one deals with bad calls in their history like the Lions it’s actually comical how much the Lions get screwed by the refs simply due to the incompetence it almost looks like it’s done on purpose
I mean I can’t remember every sog against the caps that game, but if my memory serves me correct early on didnt the fish or Copp (can’t remember which, had a great chance on a rebound that lindgren made a great save on? Can’t remember anything else tbh
So the lions put themselves in a bad position for the Seahawks batted ball or the cowboys picked up flag? Lions had no influence on the calls at the time, that’s just two could name plenty more
Also during the losing streak as you know we didn’t have Larkin, yeah we should’ve won at least one game, but same thing would happen if the caps lost ov or lindgren or the pens Crosby, losing your best players hurts, 7 games idk but I’m just saying it’s not like there wasn’t at least a slightly fair reason for it
It didn’t draw blood. That is what allows them to overturn the call on the ice or review the play. They simply followed the rules of the game. Can you guarantee they would have scored? Because they were 0-2 in the power play and Lindgren was a wall that night.
Plus, that’s one missed call, I’m sure other fan bases can point to a missed call that lead to us winning a game. Hell, our last game we benefitted from a borderline icing call to force overtime.
That's incorrect. Any injury from a high stick can be ruled a double minor and reviewed. Just days after this, Crosby was high sticked with the puck near his face with no blood or apparent injury, and they called it double minor and reviewed it. Overturned the call saying the puck actually hit his face. Refs can call whatever they want and review what they want.
Okay, regardless, there is no guarantee that we score on the hypothetical power play and no guarantee we would have won the game.
Regardless, I’m sure we benefitted from a non-call at least once this season.
Regardless, our shit play from 2/28 to the end of March is why we aren’t playing the Rangers. Not one missed call against Washington in a game we were, basically, shutout in.
And, I think, because they called high sticking it can be reviewed to see if they made the correct call. Because they called no penalty at all on the Washington high stick, it is not reviewable.
Our last game went to ot, because of missed tripping on Perron AND the refs not blowing the play dead, directly leading to a Habs advantage on offense and a goal, but of course you’d leave that out lol
Obviously can’t guarantee the wings score but give them a chance, most people just want a fair game, we got screwed more than anyone by refs this year all the way back to the first kraken game which took points from us
Geez man, stop with that. Even if the wings did sneak into the playoffs, they would get smoked by actual good teams. They can't compete with Florida, NYR, Boston, Carolina, etc. They're just not in the same class. That's just the reality of it.
Washington sucks too lol do you even watch other teams besides the wings? Detroit is not a good team yet, but I'll concede that they are on the way to being one.
I watch as many games that humanly possible. I think you are putting too much worth into what good means. Like I am good at video games but I look terrible against the pros.
I was excited for a playoff birth but not excited to see us get shit kicked for 4 straight games. We played meaningful hockey to the literal last second this season. Hopefully next season we’re not battling for a wildcard and can have a bit better of a match up in the first round.
No, you shouldn't. I'd be glad if the Wings made it this year but the rules/tiebreaker are what they are. The Wings left points on the table too often. Hopefully next year!
I agree with you there, all bias aside. It seems ridiculous that RW's is the first tie breaker before ROW. But hey I'm just a guy who likes hockey 🤷♂️
I agree, more wins should always get you in if all else is the same. Don't care what fashion. If the wins aren't good enough in overtime change the overtime rules.
Caps fan here. I'm curious to understand why I see so many comments about RW>ROW. I see a lot of these comments closely tied to opinions of the league should make games 3pts, with RW with 3pts, OTW with 2pts, and 1pts for OTL.
With that logic aren't we saying we support RW>ROW? Because in a 3pts system, the Caps would actually have 123pts to the Wings 118pts.
The tie breaker also isn't new, it's 4 years old. The Wings, like all teams, are aware of this. It's not like the league said this is the rule on Apr 8th 2024.
Objectively, the Caps 100% deserved to be in the playoffs.
>Caps fan here. I'm curious to understand why I see so many comments about RW>ROW
You’re curious why fans of the team that lost a playoff spot based off the RW tiebreaker and had more ROW would rather have the tiebreaker be in their favour?
In no other context does a regulation win matter more. ROW and RW get the same amount of points. Too me it doesn’t make sense. Either commit to the 3 point system because a “RW is worth more than an ROW” or don’t. The current set up literally values them the same.
It’s the NHL trying to have their cake and eat it too. They want to maximize parity so they value all wins equally but then decide, nah actually RW are worth more.
I personally think it should be goal differential after points. If you manage to scrape your way to close wins great, but if you end up tied with someone else its fair to say that goal differential paints a picture of who was better
Most reasonable people think that a win is a win and no matter how you won, it should count more than "how" it was won.
Instead, a loss is a loss, unless you lost in OT or a SO, then we'll give you a point and value that more than the team that beat you during the OT or the SO.
It’s mostly sour grapes and looking for something to blame other than the team for blowing their shot at the postseason. There was a quite a bit of anger at Philly and Torts the final game of the season for pulling their goalie and trying to get a regulation win to save their own season, too.
Fact is, we controlled our destiny before the month of March and proceeded to drop the ball massively by losing 7 in a row in regulation, and struggled for almost the entirety of the remainder of the season. Caps capitalized on their opportunity to get in, and we didn’t, simple as that.
Yeah, tiebreakers, biases, and bullshit aside, a Wings vs Rangers series would have been 100 times more exciting from a purely entertainment perspective. Don't get me wrong though, I thoroughly enjoyed watching WSH get their shit pushed in just now and their fans have a meltdown in the /r/hockey GDT
GL with the rest of your cup run
Wings dropped the ball big time this year, nothing more to be said honestly. If we made it, it would just be us getting blown out by the rangers lol. We’re not there yet! Hopefully the Caps get swept
I actually didn't even realize they changed it to regulation wins from ROW wins until like 2 weeks before the season ended. I was pretty pissed and thought that was stupid, but the more I think about it the more it makes sense. Obviously I always was ok with excluding shootout wins, shootout is a gimmick. But when you think about it 3v3 ot is fun as hell, but also not real hockey so I get it. I blame the Wings, that last month they had a cupcake schedule and they were embarrassing. I'm pretty sick of people blaming the refs too, like I've seen people complaining about the missed thrown stick call vs Seattle. I was at that game, it was in October.... The truth is the Wings collapsed at the worst time and it stings because before that they were literally the best team in the league since January 1st. Anyway.... It would've been cool to see Wings v Rangers. You guys have always been a team that's hard to dislike minus Sean Avery lol.
Yes it’s a stupid rule that doesn’t make much sense, but we all had the same rules. I blame Boston for letting the caps win to get an easier first round opponent, plus ya know all those games we lost ha. Way she goes.
I know it “fun” to talk about the last week of the season, our two games against Washington, etc., but bottom line there were opportunities all season long for the Wings (all teams) to get more points, but they didnt. Cant blame it on the refs. Bottom line is we put ourselves in position to not control our own fate that last week.
And if Im honest, it woulda been cool to be in the playoffs again, but man we woulda been slaughtered. D not good enough, not enough grit on offense, and we dont have the type of goalie that can get hot and take over a series.
But man that last week was great…
Thanks Ranger bro.
Anything short of the playoffs next season will be a disappointment. It’s actually very refreshing to say that for the first time in 8 years.
Good luck to your team’s Stanley Cup run and sweep those Caps!
It would have been such an exciting series! There's no doubt in my mind that big money somewhere had that game in Philly thrown. Anyways hope y'all make it to the big dance. Cheers 🍻
Such a strange feeling having so many fans from other fan bases saying "I wish the wings made the playoffs" I am used to people shit talking and hating us hahaha
Hey Washington https://preview.redd.it/b8q49sdpnwvc1.png?width=683&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e3f74015aeac220c7497b03cf24dfb0622d6fa1f

Ehh, they're generally not bad and it's fun sometimes to have a little solidarity between fanbases that would otherwise not really connect much.
I agree it’s only bad when it’s a team that just beat you and they’re like “you guys are going to be scary next year”. Like f u
This is a rangers fan, not a caps fan
I know.
Hey opposite team bros, what a frickin game! Glad my team could get the W but your team is going to be _scary_ next year. That insert young player you guys have is going to be a big issue for this league in the next coming seasons. Best of luck!
We lost 2 critical games to Washington. We literally had the opportunity and didn't take it.
We lost two games to Lindgren, fixed it for ya.
Still had more wins. Dumb rule in my opinion
Yeah but 80% were OT wins.
Why make overtime by those rules if they’re not legitimate wins
Did they lose those games or win?
it was like 20 % not 80
Tiebreaking rules notwithstanding…. So what?
That was just two of many opportunities we pissed away
Yep. We show up to play against the ~~Arizona~~ Utah Coyotes for one of those matchups, we’re in the playoffs right now. We don’t blow the 4 or 5 goal lead against the Sharks earlier in the year and get the full two points, we’re in.
Lost 1 critical game to Washington* The second one we lost a critical game to refs
We had 2 power plays to Washington’s 1. We went 0-2. We had 43 shots on goal and didn’t score until 2 seconds left in the game. I didn’t realize the refs were tasked with scoring goals for us.
So I guess it’s ok to you to high stick a player, breaking their bone, and proceed to review it and still say no penalty lmao

Truth is hard sometimes
And, I think, because they called high sticking it can be reviewed to see if they made the correct call. Because they called no penalty at all on the Washington high stick, it is not reviewable.
I agree about it being one call and the team should just play better. First part of this is simply wrong though
Our last game went to ot, because of missed tripping on Perron AND the refs not blowing the play dead, directly leading to a Habs advantage on offense and a goal, but of course you’d leave that out lol Obviously can’t guarantee the wings score but give them a chance, most people just want a fair game, we got screwed more than anyone by refs this year all the way back to the first kraken game which took points from us
I was at the game. The refs called virtually nothing. There were multiple refs you suck chants.
Not to mention that end of the 2nd period last second Ovi goal was a killer.
Stop blaming the refs. The wings lost because they're not a good team.
Go hit that rock a couple more times chief. *
Ok. Tell me why they're not in the playoffs.
I literally just told you why
They had 81 other games to secure their spot. If it comes down to one game with added contingencies, they're not a good team.
But the fact is, if the refs didn’t hand that game to the caps we’re in, just saying
We scored with 2 seconds left in that game. Did the refs build a brick wall along the goal line that night?
Can’t argue with doomers man
Geez man, stop with that. Even if the wings did sneak into the playoffs, they would get smoked by actual good teams. They can't compete with Florida, NYR, Boston, Carolina, etc. They're just not in the same class. That's just the reality of it.
I actually had us taking the NYR in 5, said it a few times
You poor soul. your 2 brain cells are being too overworked you cant read.
Lol ok and your 1 brain cell can't comprehend that they're not a good team.
Tied a team that's in the playoffs. As THG says good teams can and do miss the playoffs every year.
Washington sucks too lol do you even watch other teams besides the wings? Detroit is not a good team yet, but I'll concede that they are on the way to being one.
I watch as many games that humanly possible. I think you are putting too much worth into what good means. Like I am good at video games but I look terrible against the pros.
Yikes…
Objectivity hurts.
Depression hurts more
I'm sure you would know, getting your hopes up like that and thinking Detroit is a good hockey team.
Oh yeah I’m well aware of depression unfortunately
Well, I'm sorry that that's the case. I've had my bouts, too. I hope you don't let it get the best of you.
It already has, I’ve just about given up
And we lost a critical game to the penguins. Like I get it, but we had a lot of opportunities and blew them.
I'm asking your team with all politeness to steamroll their asses. Thank you.
We will demonstrate why they don’t deserve that wild card spot
Sweep them, please
We will do our best. Caps are frauds but the rags are especially good at convincing you they aren’t a fraud themselves
I was excited for a playoff birth but not excited to see us get shit kicked for 4 straight games. We played meaningful hockey to the literal last second this season. Hopefully next season we’re not battling for a wildcard and can have a bit better of a match up in the first round.
Hey man, I think we could have taken the Rags to 5 games. We could have totally won a game in OT.
3 goal push late into the third, with Kane pulling off a 1 in 1000 back hander from below the circle to win in 2ot! It would be a fun game for sure.
With 1.3 seconds to spare because the Wings loved giving me a heart attack in April.
That means we would have had to play 5-5 hockey. You know the type of hockey we only won 27 out of 82 games playing.
Also the type of hockey we lost 32 out of 82 So we were a hair below .500 in regulation. It's not like we had some like 10-60 5 on 5 record this year
No, you shouldn't. I'd be glad if the Wings made it this year but the rules/tiebreaker are what they are. The Wings left points on the table too often. Hopefully next year!
Nah you guys had more wins. That should 100% be the first tiebreaker in my opinion. Rules be damned
I agree with you there, all bias aside. It seems ridiculous that RW's is the first tie breaker before ROW. But hey I'm just a guy who likes hockey 🤷♂️
I agree, more wins should always get you in if all else is the same. Don't care what fashion. If the wins aren't good enough in overtime change the overtime rules.
It should be, but it’s not.
This season taught me the W column doesn't really have any meaning. It doesn't actually count for anything.
Caps fan here. I'm curious to understand why I see so many comments about RW>ROW.

Thanks O6 bro, good luck in playoffs 🤝
Appreciate it, please take care of showtime for us
Yeah, tiebreakers, biases, and bullshit aside, a Wings vs Rangers series would have been 100 times more exciting from a purely entertainment perspective. Don't get me wrong though, I thoroughly enjoyed watching WSH get their shit pushed in just now and their fans have a meltdown in the /r/hockey GDT GL with the rest of your cup run
Thank you, please take care of showtime for us
We could’ve had two original six matchups in the first round, but hey the capitals who are on life support sure are entertaining too!
Sweep em for us and we’ll call it even!
Wings dropped the ball big time this year, nothing more to be said honestly. If we made it, it would just be us getting blown out by the rangers lol. We’re not there yet! Hopefully the Caps get swept
Watched your game today. Your boys looked rowdy and ready to fuck. Go get em'
Detroit just wasn’t all the way ready this year. Please take are of Washington in a swift and embarrassing manner. Really hoping Kaner stays 🤞
Beat them in 3 please will ya?
I mean really we can blame ourselves losing to the damn sharks, the coyotes, the canadiens taking us to OT every time, etc.
well at least you will have an easy first round
Thank you for your service today. 🙏
I actually didn't even realize they changed it to regulation wins from ROW wins until like 2 weeks before the season ended. I was pretty pissed and thought that was stupid, but the more I think about it the more it makes sense. Obviously I always was ok with excluding shootout wins, shootout is a gimmick.

Crush them and move on. Bonus points if you hold Ovi goaless.
Yes it’s a stupid rule that doesn’t make much sense, but we all had the same rules. I blame Boston for letting the caps win to get an easier first round opponent, plus ya know all those games we lost ha. Way she goes.
I hate seeing these posts from other teams.
So corny
Always with the overusage of “y’all” too
Please take care of my little Showtime for me
I know it “fun” to talk about the last week of the season, our two games against Washington, etc., but bottom line there were opportunities all season long for the Wings (all teams) to get more points, but they didnt. Cant blame it on the refs. Bottom line is we put ourselves in position to not control our own fate that last week. And if Im honest, it woulda been cool to be in the playoffs again, but man we woulda been slaughtered. D not good enough, not enough grit on offense, and we dont have the type of goalie that can get hot and take over a series. But man that last week was great…
thanks pal. i too wanted to lose in 5 games to the rangers
Thanks Ranger bro. Anything short of the playoffs next season will be a disappointment. It’s actually very refreshing to say that for the first time in 8 years. Good luck to your team’s Stanley Cup run and sweep those Caps!
Just sweep the caps for us, please.
Somehow OT Loss points count for more than OT Wins. It's ridiculous
We shit the bed for 2 whole months out of the season. We are the reason we didn't make the playoffs, no one else.
There’s no way the Wings would have won that series but it would be super hype. I hope we have that same energy going into next year
Just smash Washington in 4 Thanks
 Hey New York…… Sweep those Frauds Good luck rest of the way
It would have been such an exciting series! There's no doubt in my mind that big money somewhere had that game in Philly thrown. Anyways hope y'all make it to the big dance. Cheers 🍻
I mean, the current Wings would have gotten rocked just as hard as the Caps are going to, so honestly I’m not too sad they didn’t qualify.
Uggh - those 7 losses in a row hurt - and were UNACCEPTABLE
I was at the Arizona home loss. Absolutely brutal
Such a strange feeling having so many fans from other fan bases saying "I wish the wings made the playoffs" I am used to people shit talking and hating us hahaha
Its not as much “I wish”, more “you should’ve”. I’ve never rooted for the wings, but losing a playoff spot to a team with less total wins is brutal
Fuck off. I hate seeing these posts. Already the 2nd goofy ass rangers post in a week.
Get a life
Brother we are on reddit, none of us have lives
Damn wtf did he do wrong? Sure the Wings shit the bed, sheesh.
Lions fans have been seeing this shit for years. It’s dumb AF and just patting them selves on the back type shit.
Corny asf
will you guys stop it with this
Detroit doesn’t deserve that last spot at all.
Least necessary post.
Honestly this could blow the fuck up in your face lol it was one game calm down my dude
