For the first time since the NHL put a franchise in Detroit in 1926, the four U.S.-based "Original Six" teams - Detroit, Chicago, Boston, NYRangers - will all miss the playoffs in the same season.
Wild. Are a pt vs the ducks. Or a blues/flames losing any of their remaining 3 combined games from getting in.
Normally a WC spot at the final hour is pretty blah. But very pumped about this season.
Everything was building towards next year and beyond with all the controllable talent plus the massive contracts of Parise and Suter finally being off the books.
This year was all gravy. And doing it with so many injuries is even more incredible. Probably get pasted 4-0 or maybe gentleman sweep in round 1. But idc.

That's what happens
Not NHL, but 2026 #1 overall pick Gavin McKenna did this yesterday.
