Red Wings Reality Check: What the Buffalo Loss Reveals About Detroit’s Hot Start
Description
The Detroit Red Wings’ five-game win streak is over — but the message from Todd McLellan is loud and clear. After a 4-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres, Matt and Mike break down what went wrong, what still looks strong, and what this team must fix to keep their hot start alive.
In this episode of Red Wings Rant, we react to Max Bultman’s latest reporting on the Sabres game, dive into McLellan’s postgame comments about preparation and focus, and examine why structure and pace remain the Red Wings’ biggest strengths — and their biggest vulnerabilities.
From John Gibson’s tough night to the penalty kill’s consistency, to how much Patrick Kane’s absence hurts the power play, we explore how Detroit stacks up against the Atlantic — and why this loss might be the wake-up call they need.
