PFH Podcast - Episode 25 - Déjà VuOn this episode, we do a little bit of venting about the Red Wings dropping out of the playoff picture after two huge regulation losses to the Bruins and the Senators. We chat about some of the dire team statistics since the Olympic break, and ask the biggest question of the season: can this season still be considered a success even if the playoffs slip away?
