Winged Wheel Podcast - A Detroit Red Wings Podcast

Happy New Year! The Detroit Red Wings wrapped up 2022 and entered 2023 with another comeback win, this time over the Ottawa Senators. Tune in as we discuss the New Year's Eve game, the previous almost-comeback against Buffalo, Elmer Soderblom and Joe Veleno's 6 game point streaks, Michael Rasmussen dominating on Dylan Larkin's wing, Lucas Raymond's great game, Hellberg's shaky win, & the Moritz Seider - Jake Walman pairing (as Ben Chiarot was moved off the Seider pair) (6:50).

Also, with Jakub Vrana, Robby Fabbri, & soon Tyler Bertuzzi (not to mention Filip Zadina) returning, Derek Lalonde has decisions to make. Will he scratch Erne, Suter, or Sundqvist? Will Soderblom be sent down? Is Nedeljkovic going to be waived in favor of Hellberg? Can Steve Yzerman drum up a trade? (31:05)

We also give our 2023 Detroit Red Wings New Year's Resolutions: what do we want to see from the Hockeytown club this year (42:10)?

Finally, an update on Connor Bedard and the World Juniors (52:30), and lots more - enjoy!

RED WINGS WAIVE VRANA - Jan 5th, 2023

In a wild and unexpected 24 hours, Steve Yzerman made the decision to waive Jakub Vrana, Detroit Red Wings fans waited nervously, and Vrana cleared waivers to go down to the Grand Rapids Griffins. Tune in as we begin by dissecting the decision to waive Vrana over the likes of Adam Erne, Alex Nedeljkovic, Elmer Soderblom, Joe Veleno, or Jonatan Berggren, how Vrana's cap hit or stint in the Player Assistance Program may have led to him clearing, whether Vrana's conditioning is a factor, how he may fit into Lalonde's system, & lots more (4:45).

We also analyze Alex Nedeljkovic's conditioning stint in the AHL (and his strong 1st win), the decision to keep the young guns (Berggren, Veleno, Soderblom) in, & more (27:37). Also, what happens when Filip Zadina (32:23) & Tyler Bertuzzi (37:25) are ready to return in a couple weeks?

We also recap Detroit's loss to the New Jersey Devils, including the only goal from Lucas Raymond (assists to Dylan Larkin & Moritz Seider), their special teams vs 5 on 5 efforts, & Husso's performance (44:10) before covering the World Juniors (Czechia over Sweden, Canada & Connor Bedard over USA) (48:00) & lots more - enjoy!
