I've been going back and forth on whether or not to still release this (it was 98% complete after game 81). This style of video is normally reserved for playoff seasons only, but I spent way too much time on it to just let it go to waste, so I've decided to upload it anyways. Player highlights are in the works, expect them to come out sometime in late May. Also, I need to address the questions about game 82... Something went wrong with the recording during OT, which would've caused an upload delay regardless, but that crushing "just got eliminated" feeling we haven't felt in years started to kick in at that point and I needed some time to get over it. If there's still interest, I suppose I could get around to that game, but the OT section will be the TSN feed.

This was the most excited I was for a wings season in years. If anyone thinks rebuilds are add water instant contender, never happened. Yzerman is cleaning up Holland’s mess and making this team what he did with Tampa.

You are the greatest asset a KZfaq consuming wings fan could ever hope for. Thank you!

0:43 one of the best moments of the year can’t lie

We Love You Awood

11:14 😭😭 I love Lucas Raymond

Game 81 was just magical, will remember that for the rest of my life - thanks as always AW 👍

Red Wings 23’-24’ MVP: Ken Daniels’ voice 🐐

The wings should be paying you at this point lol. whenever i miss watching a game this is the first place i look. Whenever i want to see an epic complilation of the magic man, this is where i go. Stay solid Mr. Awood40 and thank you for all your hard work making these videos

Lucas Raymond has good boy 31 goals 41 assist 72 points this season for Detroit

What a great year from Raymond. Excited to see him next year in the playoffs.

I think the month of october was some of the most fun ive had watching this team in some time.

As heartbreaking as the end of the season was and how these are normally for playoff years, I thoroughly appreciate this video. This was one of the most entertaining years of red wings hockey since the prime to late Euro Twin days (obviously lol). I have followed your channel since 2010 (I was 8 years old), so seeing this video made me insanely excited and I'm also INCREDIBLY stoked for the player highlights. Thank you, as always, for all these highlights of the team I grew to love so much. You're a one of a kind channel.

Ugh... So many memorable moments that I'm going to remember forever as a Wings fan but such a bummer that the year didn't end with a playoff appearance.

Maybe wasn't a playoff year but I'm SO excited to see these videos back and hopefully they're back for GOOD.

Best season of hockey I've seen in a long time. Never forget when a Seattle player just threw their stick into the middle of our pass, and it wasn't called a penalty.

I haven’t even watched this yet but I’m SO EXCITED to lay in bed tonight after I get my little girl to sleep and watch this!! You’re the best! Thank you so much🤜🏼🤛🏼

Man I forgot how good debrincat was in the beginning of the season I mean nice to have another good player around but dang super streaky

9:01 I need to see seider in the playoffs. Oh my

This team definitely deserved to be in the playoffs. I don't know what the chemistry is gonna be like next season but, definitely work on defense. Give Raymond an A on his jersey next season.

What an unbelievable season, i love this team so much and that absolutely gut wrenching way to end the season is sure to be motivation for the boys next year. I have missed the wings during the off season before but never this much, and i haven't been more excited for an upcoming season than right now

The amount of game winning goals Kane had is crazy…. And he didn’t even play the full season. If we had him for at least 70 games, we probably sneak into the playoff. Praying that he will sign for at least one more year…❤

Thx dude for all the highlights you do, only way I could stomach the last 25ish games of the season 🤣

Man you do so much for this community. We love you

THANK YOU! I've been waiting for a best of season since 2016 and now I'm happy lol

If Husso was healthy this team makes the playoffs. Him and Lyon could be a really high quality tandem. Hopefully it works out next year.

Awood for president

Wings fan since 96. Really enjoyed this season.. so mad we didn’t make it to the post season. Was in Stockholm for the Leafs-Wings game^^ 2025 : PLAYOFFS TIME I will fly over the atlantic to see my wings in LCA ❤ Cheers from France LGRW

Might be the best highlight reel ever for a team that missed the playoffs 😂😭

Debrincat going cold and Walman going down during the final stretch of the season really hurt our playoff chances, but what a fun season! Thanks as always Alex for all the hard work you put in

God damn, end of this video sent me on that roller coaster of emotions all over again. What a season. Great job as always Awood.

first, ty for your effort all year and every year. invaluable work. now, 2 things little noticed about the Kane OT winner in Chicago. 1. many people on soc media (and even some in the stands watching) thought it didn't go in. the most common angle makes it look bar down, and questionable. the least seen or noticed angle shows it literally hitting the back of the net and coming back out, it was shot so hard. an interesting optical illusion, on the common angle. 2. not visible afaik on any of the broadcasts, or anyway not noticeable, but clearly visible on fan videos, is that during Kane's lap after the goal thanking the fans before leaving, the video board person for the Hawks put back up the "Thank You Patrick" graphic that had been up during the tribute earlier in the game. think how truly bizarre that is in full context. the fans are one thing, for the team itself to put up a graphic thanking him after he beats them is next level.

Even though we missed the playoffs, having Ken and Mick calling these moments is a core memory. Thank you, awood.

Awood the legend with another amazing video. Love that you released this despite how crushing the end of the year was. It was great to have something to cheer for even to the last seconds of the season, and the future looks bright. #LGRW #LGAWOOD

Even with the heartbreaking ending to the season, there were a lot of great things to look back on. Here’s to a bright future in Hockeytown! ❤

Awood you are a national treasure

December and March…that is all but great work as per usual

Can’t wait for next year!!!! This season felt like so many seasons crammed into one just cause of the quality of hockey we got to watch… LETS GO WINGS

The wings may not have made the playoffs when we should have but I feel like this team is gonna get much better next year. All of the young guys who are gonna get called up next year is gonna really improve this team

Ken Daniels yelling "He Scorrrrrrrreessss!" never gets old. 😂

my god you can run a city off the electricity from the last 3 games

26:34 I love Fischer

I would enjoy highlights every season. Lots of work to put together but much appreciated. I'll be watching this one all summer until camp opens...😊

Would definitely love a recap of game 82. The boys dug deep for that win and I believe it shows just how resilient this team was. If we can build on that for next year, our young core will be in a very good spot

These highlights and others you've posted will get me through the summer.. thanks, awood!

I have been waiting on this all season long! Do you have the player specific highlights cooking too??

Thanks for putting this together. Hoping for better results next season.

Thanks bud!

What a season it was thanks for the journey awood. We will be in the playoffs next year. Only up from here. Go wings

I'm going to watch this once a week until next season starts 😭that was such a good season

Awood the goated

DeBrincat was electric in beginning part of the season

It was a heck of a season, and if they can keep it together going forward I think the team has a bright future.

thank you very much for this

Heart breaking end to a season. Regardless, there are signs of life. I personally haven't been this happy about a Wings team in many years, and it genuinely makes me happy to see them string some great games together. On a side note, I love Ken and Mick. Listening to them in those final two games of the season had me ready to run through a brick wall.

Thanks man, bittersweet season but the future is bright!

Man, I heard Daniel Sprong's name a lot.

I enjoy all your excellent work. Maybe next year you'll have more games to post.

I say this as a fan of a rival, I think Wings fans should be somewhat proud of this season, a fantastic step in the right direction for the franchise after years of rebuilding, now if they go anywhere, time will tell. But I think it goes without saying dear god the way the season ended couldn't have been more painful.

Love the content

I really really wish there was a camera on the announcers, especially for those last two games. To see Ken loosing it up there in the booth as the Wings pulled off those wins...

My personal favourite moment this year has to be 51:36, what a historic moment for the game

Hope we don’t lose Raymond or Kane! Thanks Awood!🎉

Great content as always! ❤ Watching this, it’s so frustrating that we missed the playoffs for Capitals to be immediately swept. Not saying we’d have won that series but I could imagine we’d have taken at least one game. Especially the way we finished the season.

This season will be defined by these words “pre patch and post patch”

Great video as always. But this one stings when you remember that, if literally any of these losses are wins, were in

Thank you, Larks, Razor, Mo, and everyone else who made this the most fun season in years. Thank you, Awood, for documenting it And once and for all, fuck you John Tortorella

January/February was so special

We will have a bright future, next year we will be in the playoffs.

im still so upset that they didn't get in. absolutely heartbreaking, but they did it to themselves.

awood is the goat

Almost as excited about the future of the Wings as I am about the Lions. If you look at the rest of the league and the age of their stars, contracts ending, free agency, etc., you'll realize the Redwings are still building, but they are right on the edge of being back.

7:21 why can’t Joey do this all the time. He looked so bad at the end of the year

I imagine a year we win the Stanley again and Mickey on the broadcast just says "I guess.."

You've been at this for how many years? >10? You replied to one of my comments previously, but I can't remember exactly.

It’s really too bad husso got injured. I think this season would’ve played out a lot different he was healthy

Biggest thing I've learned from this video is that we're a completely different team without Wallman and Rasmussen

really wish the wings had husso down the stretch of the season

ily +1

Are you gonna do best hits and fights of the year too cause kostins fights wernt in the video?

Hard to believe we almost got back to the playoffs this year and just fell short! Still, the rebuild is going great and maybe next year. All I hope is that Patrick Kane stays with Detroit. I’ll be a little upset if he leaves

24:43

We were so good but so bad this season. Like one game it was the best game i’ve ever seen just absolute orchestry and the other we couldn’t beat the coyotes… twice. Can’t happen next year but LGRW

So sad they choked in March, such a great season.

Voy a ti red wing

I miss ken n mick already :(

I’m just curious bc I’m only 16, so I don’t remember anything. But the last time we made the playoffs, was that Mike Babcocks final year or Blashills 1st??

Sadly don’t think we’re gonna get this close again for a while… not unless the rookies turn out to be stars…

I hope Kane stays.

remind me why we broke up that debrincat-larkin-raymond line ? they were so good at the start of the year. Top 5 “top” lines

Ugh now I’m even more sad

Feels like a wasted year.

Playoffs or bust next year

I cannot emphasize how bad John buccigross is as an announcer. Dude is the WORST!

It was a good run boys🥲 Let’s get it next season

I’m not quite ready for this video yet. The run they had at the end… and the 7 or 8 they lost in that stretch leading up to the end. It was a razors edge that they weren’t where the caps were for the playoffs. And the caps are already done. The wings, given the chance, and as much as they were on a high, they would have gone farther! They had momentum! Anyway- thank you Awood…. For everything you give to the community!!!! 🫵🏻👏🏻❤️
