There are more positive things being said about the Wings in opposing teams' subreddits. I love this forum, I think there are a lot of intelligent people and the moderation is on point but lately, it's been so negative. Do you guys realize that we at currently complaining that we don't like the WAY that our team clinched for the 24th year in a row? That's ridiculous and entitled and spoiled. This team is not "average at best" they are better than average as proven by their record this year. I have not been alive long enough to see them miss the playoffs. Think about that and then put yourselves in the shoes of literally ever other team and try to imagine behaving the same way as you are now. It is 100% understandable to be critical of aspects of the team play, but to claim the sky is falling after every loss or bad goal is completely absurd. I'm sorry, I love you guys but it's disheartening to see so many "fans" express more hatred toward their own players than they do to the Hawks. We're better than this. /endrant

You are my hero. Seriously, people, can we have a little perspective? We lost a game, in overtime, to one of the best teams in the NHL, despite outplaying that team for the majority of the game. And that point continues a playoff streak that goes back to when, like, half our team wasn't even born yet. There are teams in today's NHL that didn't exist when we were making the playoffs every year. The goal of the regular season is to make the playoffs. Period. There is no extra credit for finishing higher in the standings or with bogus "momentum." You don't get an extra game or two head start in your first series. Once you're in, everyone is on even ground and anything can happen. We accomplished our ONLY goal for this regular season. Cherish that. And buckle up because I think the Wings can surprise some people, goaltending notwithstanding.

*playoff butt pats*

This!

100 %

When you can't tank it, you must spank it.

Don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya. Boston needs fans I hear.

Babcock and Smith were just seen in the locker room by the press.

This is beyond depressing here. 24 straight years in the playoffs. I'm gonna try to enjoy that by not reading anything else here because 29 other teams would kill to be a fan of that first sentence.

I enjoy the cantina atmosphere.

WOOO! Cats get it back! 4-2.

"Subban trying to catch Helm" Don't blame yourself P.K., faster men than you have tried and failed.

I was 21 when the Wings won it all in '97. The dead Wings era is still in my memory. I hope this streak is all a lot of you will ever remember. Playoffs!

This is part of the reason why I went elsewhere. This place really has turned into Mos Eisley Spaceport of Wings fans.

Heck, I am starting Mrazek for the playoffs if its my choice. The kid is a winner at every level he has played at. If the Wings are going to crash and burn this year like 90% of LGW members think they are, may as well put Mrazek in so he can learn a tough lesson about the playoffs and come back stronger next season.

That phrase is like erotica to me

3....2.....1....HAPPY PLAYOFFS!!!! Thanks Florida!

We're ******* justified.

It wasn't pretty, but an amazing accomplishment.

I don't care what that hit it should be stopped

Get the extra point. I don't want to play the Rangers.

Lots of asterisks on this page

It hasn't been fun for a while.
