Red Wings Are a Top-10 Win Percentage Team | Why Do They Keep Falling Apart?
The Red Wings are one of the strangest teams in the NHL right now.
By straight win percentage, Detroit ranks like a top-10 team. But watch the games — or just check the box scores — and you see a team that either plays fast, structured, playoff-caliber hockey … or completely falls apart for long stretches.
In this episode, we break down why the Wings keep swinging between dominant and disastrous, including:
Why their win percentage paints a WAY better picture than their actual record
The standings favor loser points — we don’t. When you sort the NHL by actual wins per game, Detroit sits in the top third of the league.
The goaltending problem that’s draining winnable games
John Gibson allows 4 goals on 1.86 expected against Chicago.
Talbot and Gibson rank bottom-10 in Goals Saved Above Expected.
Detroit has the 6th-worst team save percentage.
This team isn’t getting average goaltending — and it’s costing them points.
Why the Red Wings get tons of possession but no scoring
Detroit is top-10 in:
But near the bottom in:
They generate quantity, not quality — a huge problem for a team missing finishers outside of Larkin and DeBrincat.
What’s wrong with the top six?
Why this might be mental, not just talent
Todd McLellan has already said it:
Detroit still struggles with game management, consistency, and responding to adversity.
They look great when they’re “on”…
…and downright broken when they’re “off.”
Red Wings Rant: Where tirades and impassioned pleas about your Detroit Red Wings finally have a home.
