    WWP NIGHT w/ the DETROIT RED WINGS (Mar. 29th - barber pole jersey) tickets: wingedwheelpodcast.com/redwings

  • The Detroit Red Wings and their young guns have clawed back into this thing, all while the NHL trade world had a massive bombshell deal.

    Tune in as we open (after commenting on the response to Kucherov's trip on Rasmussen) (00:00) by discussing the home Hockeytown win over Lane Hutson and the Montreal Canadiens, including Dylan Larkin leading the way in his 700th game, Lucas Raymond's increasingly elite abilities, Jonatan Berggren, Alex DeBrincat, and Andrew Copp contributing (after Simon Edvinsson's block), & more (5:35). Next, Marco Kasper & Cam Talbot leading Detroit to a 2-0 win over Andrei Vasilevskiy & the Tampa Bay Lightning (even without Patrick Kane), including Kasper's redirect, Albert Johansson's fantastic play, Lilleberg's hit to J.T. Compher's head, a chippy game with Cirelli, Hedman & Co., and Nikita Kucherov's dirty trip on Michael Rasmussen's empty net goal (16:05).

    After that, a look at how the Red Wings rookies have been playing steadily better under Todd McLellan, including Elmer Soderblom, and what that means for future players like Nate Danielson & Carter Mazur - as well as a look at where Steve Yzerman's squad sits in the NHL wild card playoff race (28:45).

    Next up, a look at the NHL Quarter Century Team for the Detroit Red Wings (Steve Yzerman, Pavel Datsyuk, Henrik Zetterberg, Niklas Kronwall, Nicklas Lidstrom, Chris Osgood, Sergei Federov, Dylan Larkin, Brendan Shanahan, Chris Chelios, Brian Rafalski, Dominik Hasek), and whether Jimmy Howard or Mo Seider deserved a look (43:50), as well as an update on Axel Sandin Pellikka's plans to leave the SHL after this season to play for either Detroit or the Grand Rapids Griffins (48:20).

    We then jump into the insane blockbuster trade that happened in the NHL, as the Colorado Avalanche sent Mikko Rantanen to the Carolina Hurricanes for Martin Necas (with Taylor Hall, Jack Drury, and other pieces coming into play thanks to the Chicago Blackhawks): what does this mean for MacKinnon, Makar & Co., how everyone did in the trade, whether the Red Wings can still sign Rantanen in free agency, where the Vancouver Canucks trying to thrade Elias Petterson and J.T. Miller fit into this, & more (51:40) before we take your questions and comments in our Overtime segment (1:17:25) - enjoy!

    WWP NIGHT w/ the DETROIT RED WINGS (Mar. 29th - barber pole jersey) tickets: wingedwheelpodcast.com/redwings

  • Is the Todd McLellan new coach bump over for the Detroit Red Wings?

    Tune in as we're joined on this remote episode by Max Bultman of The Athletic Detroit (00:00) - we begin with a recap of Detroit's 2-1 overtime loss to Tortorella & Michkov's Philadelphia Flyers, including a nice goal from Ben Chiarot & Lucas Raymond, strong play from Alex Lyon, missed offense from Patrick Kane, Dylan Larkin, & others, Elmer Soderblom's season debut, & more (5:30). We then discuss the overall road trip for Steve Yzerman's squad, whether they're crashing back to their Derek Lalonde days or if there is still sustained improvement, if a tank is on for Misa, Hagens, or others (& if that's even possible with players like Moritz Seider, Simon Edvinsson, Alex DeBrincat, Raymond, Larkin, etc.), and if the Hockeytown squad is destined for the Stanley Cup Playoffs or the NHL Trade Deadline (14:30).

    Next, an update on what we saw from the AHL's Grand Rapids Griffins, including Elmer Soderblom's improved season, Austin Watson's impact, Nate Danielson, Shai Buium, Sebastian Cossa, as well as more prospect updates on Dmitri Buchelnikov and Emmitt Finnie (37:30).

    Finally, NHL news including the Connor McDavid - Connor Garland suspension, whether Erik Karlsson being on the block makes sense for any team to trade for, & more (1:02:00) before we take your questions and comments in our Overtime segment (1:12:55) - enjoy!

    WWP NIGHT w/ the DETROIT RED WINGS (Mar. 29th - barber pole jersey) tickets: wingedwheelpodcast.com/redwings

  • Between the Red Wings and Lions, it was a tough weekend for Detroit...

    Tune in as we open this post-Grand Rapids Griffins event episode by discussing Todd McLellan's squad's unlikely win over Bobrovsky and the Florida Panthers, including a red-hot power play led by Berggren, Dylan Larkin, and Patrick Kane, Marco Kasper, Alex DeBrincat, and Lucas Raymond contributing, Cam Talbot's unreal performance, & more (3:55). We then recap the Red Wings' two losses to the Vasilevskiy and the Tampa Bay Lightning as well as Oettinger and the Dallas Stars, highlighted by poor defense (despite Moritz Seider and Simon Edvinsson's best efforts) and a tough back-to-back, as well as discuss what this team needs to do ahead of the Phildelphia Flyers game to convince Steve Yzerman that this team can make an NHL playoff push (8:40).

    We then cut to our recent live recording of the Winged Wheel Podcast with the Grand Rapids Griffins at Van Andel Arena, where we're joined by Amadeus Lombardi to discuss his career path, being drafted to Hockeytown, idolizing Fedorov, Kane, and Bure, playing with Nate Danielson, Sebastian Cossa, & other Griffins, & more (18:40). We're then joined by Dan Watson to discuss his time coaching the Griffins, what he's seen in progression from current & graduated players, his take on Derek Lalonde being replaced by McLellan, & plenty more (46:10).

    Next, we give our thoughts on the Detroit Red Wings Stadium Series jersey (including the fun Al the Octopus detail) (1:02:10) before jumping into NHL news, including Alex Nedeljkovic's goalie goal, Simon Nemec possibly wanting a trade, the McDavid - Garland fiasco, J.T. Miller's almost-trade to the New York Rangers, & more (1:07:15) before we take your questions and comments in our Overtime segment (1:16:15) - enjoy!

  • The Detroit Red Wings win streak ends at 7, and McLellan's squad has a tough test ahead...

    Tune in as we open by discussing the ugly loss in Hockeytown to Jake Walman & Macklin Celebrini's San Jose Sharks, including tough games from Justin Holl & Ville Husso, Patrick Kane's point streak, Dylan Larkin and Lucas Raymond's fantastic play, Vladimir Tarasenko breaking his goal drought (twice), Marco Kasper's controller disconnect moment, & more (4:45).

    Next, Todd McLellan's candid post-game presser & his style of holding players accountable, the Red Wings' upcoming road trip & the implications it has on the rest of the season, & whether Steve Yzerman will use the next 4 games to make any Trade Deadline decisions (15:25).

    After that, a look at how Lucas Raymond's point pace compares to Detroit Red Wings recent history, Tim Stutzle, Seth Jarvis, & others, how Alex DeBrincat, Larkin, Kane & other forwards have helped him, whether he could reach the 100 point plateau with more help than just his linemantes and Moritz Seider + Simon Edvinsson, & more (29:20).

    Finally, NHL news including just what on earth the Pittsburgh Penguins are going to do as Sidney Crosby still wants to win, Tristan Jarry is waived, & their cupboard is bare (39:00), as well as a midseason look at the Hart Trophy candidates: Nathan MacKinnon, Quinn Hughes, Kirill Kaprizov, Connor Hellebuyck, Leon Draisaitl, Connor McDavid... and Sean Monahan?

  • LUCKY NUMBER 7 STRAIGHT WINS IN HOCKEYTOWN!

    Tune in as we discuss the wild seven game win streak by Todd McLellan's Detroit Red Wings (0:00), starting with their win over Connor Bedard's Chicago Blackhawks (including performances by Patrick Kane, Alex DeBrincat, Albert Johansson's 1st NHL goal, Erik Gustafsson, Lucas Raymond, Marco Kasper, & more) (3:35), followed by a commanding 6-2 win over the Seattle Kraken, including an insane 4 goal flurry to start, Dylan Larkin staying hot, more from Detroit's best players, Moritz Seider's reverse hit, J.T. Compher, Marco Kasper, & others contributing, & more (13:30), as well as a look ahead and whether this performance is really a new coach bump or if we can expect this from Steve Yzerman's Red Wings moving forward (22:50).

    After that, we analyze the emerging Albert Johansson and Erik Gustafsson, whether their improved play is here to stay under McLellan & Yawney, if Johansson should play with Simon Edvinsson all season, & how this affects Detroit's outlook and whether they can make the playoffs (25:20), as well as updates on the Dylan Cozens trade rumors with the Buffalo Sabres & whether the Red Wings should be looking at other moves (Petterson? Miller?) (38:25).
