1 Recommendations

WHAT. A. GAME. The Detroit Red Wings walk away from Tampa Bay with a win in regulation, but not without some drama first! Tune in as the Winged Wheel Podcast breaks down the game, including an absolutely heroic effort from Ville Husso, Rasmussen, Erna, Berggren, & Perron contributing (with Hronek staying hot), the Husso vs. Vasilevskiy battle, whether Detroit "Deserved" the win, & more (6:53). Also, the importance of the win for Derek Lalonde returning to Tampa Bay (where Jeff Blashill has his old job) & getting the win there (18:20), & whether Ville Husso deserves Vezina consideration if Detroit hangs onto a playoff spot (20:25). Of course, more has to be said about Jonatan Berggren, the Filip Hronek - Olli Maatta pairing, & more about what's clicking on Steve Yzerman's roster (26:10).

We take a look ahead at the Red Wings schedule, their playoff hopes, and Alex Nedeljkovic's opportunity in net (33:25), and also get a bit "gear nerd-y" by talking about Filip Hronek's stick change that may have made a big difference (39:55), and an update on Simon Edvinsson not playing for Team Sweden, how he's doing with the Grand Rapids Griffins, as well as Hockeytown's overall World Juniors representation (Buium, Red Savage) (43:55).

Finally, some NHL news in Shane Wright, the NHL playoff picture, & a Connor Bedard update (49:05) - all that & LOTS more, enjoy!

Reaves/Hronek Hit and Detroit's Season in Danger? ft. Alison Lukan - Dec. 15th, 2022

1 Recommendations

In a turn of tides, the Detroit Red Wings may be in trouble with what is essentially an entire 1st line missing from the roster...

Tune in as we discuss Detroit's last two games, including the 1-0 snoozefest against Carolina that saw Dylan Larkin leave the game injured (6:15), before of course discussing the Minnesota game: Ryan Reaves decks Filip Hronek with a massive hit. Was it legal? Was it clean. Who was at fault for Hronek getting hit & injured like that? How did Mo Seider, Ben Chiarot, & the rest of the Red Wings respond? How did Hellberg do in his (overshadowed) debut? All of that & more (13:20).

We also discuss Detroit's season outlook with Dylan Larkin, Tyler Bertuzzi, Jakub Vrana, Filip Hronek, and Olli Maatta all out of the lineup. Are the playoffs a pipedream? Can they stay in the mix? Do they tank for Connor Bedard (37:52)?

We're also joined by Alison Lukan of the Seattle Kraken & Too Many Men to discuss exciting times in Seattle, Matty Beniers & Shane Wright, & data-driven storytelling in hockey (47:03)!

Finally, we cover some big stories in the NHL, including potential salary cap increases negotiated with the NHLPA, scheduling changes, & Gary Bettman's infuriating line on digital board ads (1:08:00). Tune in for all of that & LOTS more - enjoy!
