  • Hi everybody, and welcome to Red Wings Rant: Where tirades and impassioned pleas about your Detroit Red Wings finally have a home.

    In this episode of Red Wings Rant, we dive into the psychology of Red Wings fans—those fuming for immediate action and those justifying every stumble. Why neither approach helps, and why the best strategy might be to endure the pain of losing for a brighter future at the draft.

    We’ll dissect the gut-punch losses to Anaheim and San Jose, break down today’s lineup changes, and analyze why Derek LaLonde is under fire. Plus, why the calls to replace him with Jim Montgomery might just lead to the same possession woes. Buckle up, hockey town—it’s going to be a long, cold winter, but one with purpose.

  • Hi everybody, and welcome to Red Wings Rant: Where tirades and impassioned pleas about your Detroit Red Wings finally have a home.

    Three games into the season, and the Detroit Red Wings have shown us two very different versions of themselves.
    In the season opener, the Wings suffered a rough 6-3 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins, where sloppy turnovers and weak defense overshadowed Alex DeBrincat's strong performance. But after making roster adjustments—benching Erik Gustafsson and bringing in Albert Johansson—the Wings bounced back in a big way, securing a shutout against the Nashville Predators with Cam Talbot standing tall in net.
    Monday night, they take on the New York Rangers in a game that could tip the scales one way or the other. Are the Red Wings the inconsistent, turnover-prone team we saw against Pittsburgh or the defensive powerhouse that blanked Nashville? We dive into the early-season drama, roster adjustments, and what these first few games might tell us about the Red Wings' true identity. Tune in!
