Red Wings’ season ends in heartbreak. What’s next may be even harder

New York Times  

The Detroit Red Wings did everything they could Tuesday. By the time Patrick Kane skated back to the Red Wings’ bench after scoring the shootout winner, Detroit’s fate was already sealed, in perhaps the most painful way possible. Washington’s goal on the empty net, however, sent the Capitals into the playoffs, and the Red Wings to a crushing end to their season, missing out on the postseason courtesy of the regulation wins tiebreaker. While Detroit’s final late-season games showed tremendous resolve, they only needed to fight so hard because the Red Wings gave up four or more goals in each of their last four games — a problem that they may have outscored in these instances, but that reared its head all season. So as this dizzying, thrilling, heartbreaking Red Wings season comes to a close, the only thing tougher than moving past Tuesday’s letdown is the task that now lies ahead of general manager Steve Yzerman: Not leaving next season up to chance.
