Nah the disappointment already happened with another team winning and eliminating us between games 81 and 82...

I know. I wasn't keeping up with the NHL, but I tuned in for the last 3 Detroit games to see them win all of them (in OT or SO also) just to barely miss the playoffs.

It wasn’t just that we won, it’s that Washington got in on an empty net goal after Philly pulled the goalie with 3 minutes left in a tied game after Detroit / Montreal had already gone to overtime. The only way Philly would have gotten in was with a Detroit regulation loss so once it hit OT they were out anyway making the goalie pull pointless.
