As Wings fans, we’ve had a lot to process lately. The last game at the Joe opened a Pandora’s Box of good memories. Stanley Cup victories, double overtime goals, and goalie fights transported us back to better times. Even though it was the last game of the regular season, I went to bed feeling pretty good about my team. But when I woke up, it suddenly dawned on me: there won’t be any Red Wings hockey in April.

It’s a weird feeling, but there’s still plenty of hockey to watch this season. The playoffs are always a good time, regardless of who you’re cheering for. And this year, with no stress or anxiety about a possible first round exit, I’m excited to just sit back and watch the top-16 teams in the league tear each other apart. So why not enjoy it together?

That’s why we here at Wings Nation have decided to hold our very own Playoff Bracket Challenge for all Red Wings fans. It’s completely free to enter and the winning bracket will receive a sweet prize that includes a promo code NationGear.ca as well as a small Red Wings gift pack*! More details to come at the conclusion of the first round.
