And if you’re still holding onto hope, let me ask you this:

What else do you need to see?

The Detroit Red Wings just lost again—this time blowing a late lead with 17 seconds left against the Columbus Blue Jackets before losing in a shootout.

Three straight losses.
Multiple late-game collapses.
Points handed directly to the teams you’re chasing.

Meanwhile, the Ottawa Senators are taking care of business—beating the Tampa Bay Lightning 6-2 and tightening their grip on the final playoff spot.

Now?

• 3 points back
• Effectively 4 (tiebreaker lost)
• 4 games left
• ~6% playoff odds

This episode breaks down:

• Why this was the final nail in the coffin
• The brutal pattern of late-game failures
• The Patrick Kane penalty vs Minnesota
• The Columbus collapse with 17 seconds left
• What Max Bultman got exactly right about this stretch
• Quotes from Dylan Larkin and Todd McLellan that say everything

This wasn’t bad luck.

This was a season full of missed chances… finally catching up to them.

For the fourth straight year, the Red Wings fell apart when it mattered most. What once looked like a playoff team — built on health, momentum, and elite goaltending — completely unraveled.

This episode of Red Wings Rant breaks down:

The illusion of early-season success driven by health and hot goaltending

The drop-off from elite to “just good” in net with John Gibson and Cam Talbot

Back-to-back embarrassments vs. the Philadelphia Flyers and Pittsburgh Penguins

A major disconnect between Todd McLellan and the locker room

Why Dylan Larkin and the leadership group are running out of answers

We also dive into insights from Max Bultman on how Detroit’s season unraveled — from the Simon Edvinsson injury exposing depth issues, to special teams collapsing, to a team that simply stopped showing urgency.

This isn’t just about losing games.

It’s about a team that, right now, doesn’t look like it cares enough to win them.

And somehow… they’re still in it.

After spending most of the season near the top of the Eastern Conference, the Wings have now dropped to 10th place following brutal back-to-back losses to the Boston Bruins and Ottawa Senators.

Against Boston, it felt like a win stolen.
Jeremy Swayman stood on his head, stopping everything and completely flipping the game.

But against Ottawa? That’s where things get concerning.

The Senators came in:

• On a back-to-back
• Missing Jake Sanderson and Thomas Chabot
• Starting two rookie defensemen

And still… they controlled the game.

Detroit found themselves down 3-0, clawed back to 3-2, but couldn’t finish—again.

Even with:

• Dylan Larkin returning and scoring
• Dominik Shine stepping up with a goal
• A strong overall effort

It wasn’t enough.

Now the big question:
👉 Does this team actually have the elite talent to get over the hump?

And inside the locker room, Moritz Seider is starting to sound like the voice of accountability:

“That’s a very winnable game… if we’re not upset with ourselves, we’re doing something wrong.”

With only 11 games left and likely needing ~98 points to make the playoffs, the margin for error is gone.

So what happens next?

• Can the Wings respond?
• Is this another March collapse?
• Or is this finally where leadership takes over?

Let’s talk about it.

After a brutal stretch that saw Detroit sliding down the standings, the Wings managed to steal a point against the Dallas Stars in a game they had no business staying in early. A rare mistake from Jake Oettinger opened the door… and Detroit walked right through it.

Then came a must-win game against the Calgary Flames — and while it wasn’t perfect, the Wings got the job done.

But let’s be real:
This season is coming down to right now.

With the Montreal Canadiens and Boston Bruins up next — and the Columbus Blue Jackets refusing to lose — Detroit is in a full-on playoff war.

Instead, they blew a late 3-2 lead to the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers and lost 4-3 after allowing two goals in just a couple minutes.

A missed clear by Simon Edvinsson and a weak defensive sequence involving Justin Faulk turned a potential win into another brutal March collapse.

Now the Red Wings are fighting to hold onto a wild card spot.

Detroit currently holds the first wild card position by just one point over the Boston Bruins, who also have a game in hand. Columbus is only three points back with a game in hand of their own, and Ottawa is surging with just one regulation loss in their last ten games.

To make matters worse, injuries are starting to pile up.

• Dylan Larkin was injured on a rush last Friday

• Andrew Copp left Tuesday night’s game with an injury

• A short-handed Red Wings roster ran out of gas late against Florida

Detroit did make moves at the trade deadline, adding Justin Faulk and bringing David Perron back, but the price was steep — including a first-round pick with no protection.

If the Red Wings continue sliding in March again, the worst-case scenario is suddenly becoming very real.

In this episode of Red Wings Rant, we break down:

• The collapse against Florida

• Whether the trade deadline moves actually improved the team

• The brutal reality of the wild card race

• Injuries to Dylan Larkin and Andrew Copp

• Why depth players are becoming a major problem

• Detroit’s upcoming games against Tampa Bay and Dallas

With Tampa Bay on Thursday and Dallas on Saturday, the Red Wings may have to find a way to survive without two of their most important forwards.

The playoff race is tightening.

And the margin for error is disappearing fast.

Steve Yzerman adds two key pieces for the playoff push — bringing back veteran winger David Perron and acquiring top-four defenseman Justin Faulk.

Detroit sent:

• A conditional 4th-round pick for Perron
• A 1st-round pick, 3rd-round pick and Justin Holl to St. Louis for Faulk

Perron returns to Detroit after previously playing with the Red Wings from 2022-2024, where he was one of the team’s most respected locker-room leaders and a key offensive contributor. The 37-year-old winger should help Detroit’s struggling five-on-five offense and bring playoff experience back into the lineup.

Justin Faulk addresses one of Detroit’s biggest needs — a right-shot top-four defenseman. Logging over 22 minutes a night, Faulk strengthens the second defensive pair, adds puck movement from the blue line, and provides valuable offensive production from the back end.

In this episode of Red Wings Rant, we break down:

• Why bringing Perron back makes sense for Detroit
• How Faulk stabilizes the Red Wings defense
• Whether Detroit overpaid for the upgrade
• What this means for the final playoff push
• Whether Yzerman might still make another move

The Red Wings needed help.

And now they finally have it.

They’ve responded to adversity.
They’ve improved their penalty kill.
They’ve stayed in the playoff race all year long.

Now with the NHL trade deadline approaching, the pressure shifts to Steve Yzerman.

Inspired by the latest analysis from Max Bultman, this episode of Red Wings Rant dives into why Detroit’s front office needs to act before the deadline.

The Red Wings blew a 3-1 third-period lead to the Vegas Golden Knights, losing 4-3 in overtime — a painful reminder that this team still has clear weaknesses.

But those weaknesses have been obvious for months.

Detroit needs:

• A playoff-ready right-side defenseman • More hard offense in the top six • Support for Moritz Seider on the blue line • Another scoring threat behind Lucas Raymond and Dylan Larkin

Now it’s time for Yzerman to show belief in this locker room and give Detroit the boost it deserves for the final 20 games.

We break down:

• Why this trade deadline matters more than last year’s • The lingering impact of the quiet 2025 deadline • What Lucas Raymond and the locker room are signaling • Why standing pat could hurt momentum again • The realistic types of players Detroit should target

But if they’re going to snap the playoff drought, they need one more push.

And that push has to come from Steve Yzerman.

In this episode of Red Wings Rant, we reset the table on everything:

• The latest trade rumors involving Elias Pettersson, Robert Thomas, Jordan Kyrou and Justin Faulk • Why Detroit still desperately needs top-six scoring and legitimate defensive help • How bad the 5-on-5 offense really is — and whether Steve Yzerman has to act

February 26 – at Ottawa Senators
February 28 – at Carolina Hurricanes

Why starting with a win matters.
Why Simon Edvinsson’s return is massive.
Why Moritz Seider and Lucas Raymond benefiting from rest could swing momentum.

And of course — Dylan Larkin.

Larkin returns a gold medalist after Team USA’s first Olympic gold in 46 years. We break down:

• How USA beat Canada in overtime • The goaltending dominance of Connor Hellebuyck • The 3-on-3 OT shift that exposed McDavid, MacKinnon and Makar • Why this was the deepest and most talented Team USA roster ever assembled

But what does that actually mean?

According to Max Bultman’s latest mailbag, the Eastern Conference cut line may land closer to 99 points this year — not the 91–92 we’ve seen recently. That makes the simple “.500 hockey gets you in” narrative a little too comfortable.

In this episode of Red Wings Rant, we break down:

• Why 96 points might not be enough • Why Columbus is the real threat right now • The importance of staying in the divisional seed vs falling to wild card • Ideal playoff matchups (Montreal? Buffalo?) • Nightmare scenarios (Tampa or Carolina) • Whether Yzerman actually adds at the deadline this year • John Gibson’s extension debate • And why MLB is suddenly broadcasting the Detroit Red Wings after the FanDuel Sports bankruptcy

Detroit controls its destiny — for now.

Detroit closed the pre-break stretch by proving two very different things. First, they showed their ceiling by shutting out Colorado, becoming the first team all season to hold the Avalanche scoreless while limiting them to their lowest high-danger chance output of the year. Then, just days later, a 4–1 loss to Utah — with the lone goal coming on the power play — reminded everyone where this team remains vulnerable.

We break down why the Colorado win mattered so much, how Detroit locked down one of the NHL’s most dangerous offenses, and why that response prevented a potential skid heading into the break. We also discuss what the Utah loss revealed about Detroit’s ongoing struggle to generate consistent five-on-five offense, especially when space tightens.

Using insight from Max Bultman, we take stock of where the Red Wings stand at the Olympic break:

• Why the defense and goaltending give Detroit a real floor

• How the lack of five-on-five scoring remains the biggest concern

• What Jacob Bernard-Docker’s recent play alongside Moritz Seider says about growing stability

• Why waiting for Simon Edvinsson’s return matters

• And how the trade deadline conversation is shifting from urgency to restraint

This isn’t a panic point — it’s a pause. The Olympic break gives Detroit time to reset, evaluate, and decide how aggressive to be before March 6.

The Red Wings have proven they can defend with anyone. Now they have to answer the harder question: can they score when it matters most?

Detroit followed up an 8-1-1 stretch with a tight, frustrating 3–1 loss to the Los Angeles Kings, a team built to choke off offense and win on the margins. The result wasn’t panic-worthy — but it was revealing.

We break down what Edvinsson’s injury actually changes, why the Kings were able to make Detroit look sloppy without dominating play, and how two defensive lapses ultimately decided the game. We also dig into why breaking up the Albert Johansson–Jacob Bernard-Docker pairing mattered, and what that tells us about blue-line certainty heading toward the trade deadline.

Using insight from Max Bultman, plus postgame comments from Todd McLellan, we separate urgency from execution and ask the bigger question:
Does this stretch clarify what Steve Yzerman needs to add — or confirm patience is still the right play?

We also cover:

• Why LA’s defensive structure flatlined Detroit’s offense
• Power-play struggles and five-on-five creation concerns
• John Gibson’s continued grip on the starting net
• What the Kings, Capitals, and Avalanche games reveal about playoff readiness

We start with a quick results check, including Detroit’s win over San Jose, the OT win against Ottawa, and tonight’s game vs. Toronto (updated after puck drop). Marco Kasper’s breakout performance against the Sharks is a key part of that conversation, raising an important question as the deadline approaches: how much help does Detroit truly need from outside versus growth from within?

From there, we pivot to the trade market.

With Rasmus Andersson off the board and the Feb. 4 Olympic roster freeze looming, early trades are carrying a premium. Using The Score’s updated trade board as context, we break down why January has quietly become the new deadline — and why Detroit can’t afford to chase urgency.

What we’re breaking down in this episode:

• Why Detroit can’t overpay Early buyers are paying more to beat the freeze. The Wings need discipline, not panic, especially with their recent form and internal momentum.
• The Olympic freeze effect How roster certainty, leverage, and timing are inflating prices — and why patience may actually be Detroit’s advantage.
• Defense options after Andersson Who realistically fits the Wings’ blue-line needs without mortgaging the future:

• Dougie Hamilton
• Justin Faulk

• Forward upgrades worth discussing Skill, grit, and lineup impact — not just name recognition:

• Vincent Trocheck
• Elias Pettersson
• Jordan Kyrou
• Robert Thomas

The bottom line:
The Red Wings are in a position of leverage. They don’t need to win January — they need to make the right move. This episode is about how Detroit can upgrade its defense, add grit scoring if needed, and still avoid paying the Olympic tax.

Detroit delivered two massive statement wins, blanking the red-hot Montreal Canadiens 4–0 on the road and gutting out an overtime victory against the Carolina Hurricanes, another Eastern Conference heavyweight. Those weren’t flukes — they were games where the Wings showed structure, composure, and the ability to shut teams down.

Detroit’s 3–0 loss to the Boston Bruins looks ugly on the surface, but context matters. This was the second night of a back-to-back after an emotional overtime win against the Carolina Hurricanes, followed by travel from Detroit to Boston. The third period turned into a possession nightmare, and it was clear the legs were gone. Not a great performance — but not a true reflection of who this team has been all season. Sometimes fatigue wins, and this felt like one of those nights.

We also dig into trade chatter after Elliotte Friedman reported on 32 Thoughts that Detroit is among the frontrunners for Rasmus Andersson. His raw numbers don’t jump off the page, but when you factor in his workload as Calgary’s No. 1 defenseman, the fit in Detroit — behind Moritz Seider and Simon Edvinsson — gets very interesting.

Nex, we discuss the unexpected name surfacing around the league: Dougie Hamilton. After being scratched in New Jersey and trade noise picking up, does his offensive upside outweigh the $9M cap hit and term? And would Detroit even want to commit long-term?

Looking ahead, Detroit gets a chance to reset with games against the San Jose Sharks and the Ottawa Senators. After handling Ottawa on the road just a week ago, the question now is simple: do the Senators come in desperate for revenge, or does Detroit continue to assert itself as the more complete team? These are the kinds of games that matter in the standings — opportunities to bank points, control pace, and prove that the Wings belong in the top tier of the Atlantic.

Big wins, smart context, and real trade talk — let’s rant.

In this extended episode of Red Wings Rant, we break down a critical stretch that includes back-to-back losses to Pittsburgh, a controversial but important win over Ottawa, and what those games reveal about where Detroit actually stands.

The Wings were thoroughly out-chanced against the Penguins at five-on-five, posting just a 38.4% expected-goals share. Against Ottawa, they flipped the script on the scoreboard — despite MoneyPuck giving them only a 27% chance to win — by capitalizing on mistakes, special teams, and timely goaltending.

That contrast leads to the real question: not “is it sustainable?” — but how good teams find ways to survive when they don’t have their best game.

We dig into:

• Why Detroit’s underlying numbers vs. Pittsburgh are more concerning than the final scores • Todd McLellan’s blunt assessment of what went wrong — and what must improve • Why Ottawa was the perfect “response test” opponent • What winning ugly actually tells us about structure, goaltending, and maturity • Growing concerns around the top line of Larkin, Raymond, and Emmitt Finnie • Whether Finnie’s stamina is catching up and if it’s time for a new look • Marco Kasper’s role — and whether a reset in Grand Rapids makes sense • Andrew Copp’s December surge as Detroit’s unsung stabilizer • How Moritz Seider’s all-around impact continues to anchor this team • Trade deadline pressure and why Detroit should be part of impact conversations • Two potential fits if the Wings choose to be aggressive: Alex Tuch and Justin Faulk • Why Heated Rivalry matters for hockey culture — and why this conversation belongs in the sport right now

In this short pre-game episode before puck drop against the Stars, we break down Detroit’s back-to-back wins over the Washington Capitals, capped by Seider’s overtime game-winner and another dominant weekend from Alex DeBrincat and Lucas Raymond.

The Wings are now first in the Atlantic by points and points percentage, tied for third-most regulation wins in the Eastern Conference, and — most importantly — winning games the right way, not by sneaking into overtime.

What’s fueling the surge?

5-on-5 (Dec 1–23):

• 10.44% shooting percentage
• 92.47% save percentage
• 1.029 PDO (top-tier puck luck and performance)

• 12.62% shooting percentage
• 91.29% save percentage
• 1.039 PDO

• 4th-best high-danger save percentage in the NHL
• Best medium-danger shooting percentage in the league

We also dig into:

• Why the Washington wins matter against one of the NHL’s elite defensive teams
• Moritz Seider leading the entire NHL in Goals Above Replacement (GAR)
  • What GAR actually measures
  • Why it belongs in the Norris and Hart Trophy conversation
• Andrew Copp’s resurgence since returning from core surgery and stabilizing the second line
• DeBrincat and Raymond producing at a true point-per-game pace
• A quick look at John Leonard’s hot start, what’s real, and what will cool off

This week on Red Wings Rant, we break down a wildly successful West Coast road trip, including shutout wins in Vancouver and Chicago, a statement victory over the Islanders, and why the Utah Mammoth loss looks more like a fatigue-driven anomaly than a warning sign.

December has quietly become Detroit’s regression-to-the-mean month, with top-tier PDO, shooting percentage, and goaltending metrics finally catching up to the underlying play. But the biggest conversation looms larger than any single game.

Did the Red Wings miss a once-in-a-decade opportunity by not landing Quinn Hughes?

Using reporting from Max Bultman, Sean Shapiro, Elliotte Friedman, and Pierre LeBrun, we dive into what the Hughes non-trade says about Steve Yzerman’s risk tolerance, the value of elite stars versus prospect depth, and whether Detroit is doing enough to capitalize on Dylan Larkin’s prime years.

This is the most honest Red Wings conversation yet — the good, the bad, and the uncomfortable middle.

In this episode of Red Wings Rant, we break down Elliotte Friedman’s latest reporting that Detroit and Vancouver have talked — and that if the Canucks decide to move Hughes, the Red Wings are one of the few teams with the assets to get him.

We also walk through Harman Dayal’s fascinating new piece in The Athletic, detailing why Detroit is uniquely positioned to extend Hughes long-term thanks to CBA timing, Michigan ties, and a massive financial advantage over all other suitors — especially New Jersey.

Then we pivot to Moritz Seider, who isn’t just climbing the Norris rankings…
According to Prashanth Iyer, Seider belongs in the early Hart Trophy conversation. We break down his elite impacts, wild GAR numbers, Detroit’s disastrous play without him, and why he may be the most valuable defenseman to his team in the league.

Plus:

• What last night’s win over Vancouver really means?
• How should we fare the rest of the West Coast Trip?
• How does Detroit stack up in the standings heading into its next stretch?
• What is different about December vs November and October? And yes… We’ll talk about the dream scenario:

Still, the problems are real. Early defensive mistakes continue to sink the Wings, with breakdowns in coverage, failed clears, and brutal giveaways repeatedly ending up in the back of the net. With Simon Edvinsson out, Detroit is forced to lean more heavily on a third pair that simply cannot keep up. And the analytics tell an even clearer story: the Wings have the 5th worst High-Danger Goals For%, league-worst Medium-Danger Goals For%, 3rd worst shooting percentage, 5th worst save percentage, and 2nd worst PDO at 5-on-5. Even at all strengths, Detroit is top-5 in expected goals but bottom-10 in both shooting and save percentage. A good team keeps beating itself.

We also break down strong performances from Larkin, Raymond, Finnie, and Seider, the physical pushback the Wings showed late in the game, the awful non-call on Jonas Siegenthaler’s hit to Lucas Raymond’s head, and why this loss — strangely — gives us more confidence in Detroit’s long-term trajectory. Plus: Emmitt Finnie makes honorable mention in The Athletic’s Calder Trophy race.

Red Wings Rant — Episode Narrative (Nov 19)

“20 Games In: First Place… and Still Flawed?”

And the wildest part?
Both versions of the Red Wings — the playoff version, and the meltdown version — showed up this week.

Last Week: A Test of Consistency

If the Wings could take advantage of a soft stretch — Ducks, Sabres, Rangers, Kraken — they could claw back into a strong position.

One week later?
They did exactly that.

They handled Anaheim,
threw away a 4–1 lead vs Buffalo but still got a point,
gutted out a win at MSG,
and closed out the Kraken with a mature, structured third period — something they haven’t done most of the season.

That’s growth. That’s progress.
But the path to get here still tells us a lot about the team.

Game Management: The New Buzzword That Actually Matters

“Until this group figures out what’s important at certain times, we’re going to have those nights.”

Against Buffalo?
Total collapse.
Against New York and Seattle?
Finally, the shutdown hockey he’s been begging for.

The Seattle third period wasn’t flashy — five shots allowed, perfect breakouts, clean faceoffs, pucks deep, smart changes.
It was the most professional 20 minutes this team has played this season.

This is what real playoff teams do.
But the challenge now is: Can it be repeated?

Stars Are Driving the Bus

• Larkin: 600 points + scoring at a star level
• Cat: Tenacious, complete, and reliable no matter the line
• Raymond: Finally looking healthy — nine points in his last four

The Rookies: High Impact, High Volatility

• Danielson’s first NHL goal
• Nearly another (called back)
• Finnie’s power-play goal after Danielson set him up
• ASP steadying after a rough stretch

Goaltending: The Split Is Clear

John Gibson:
11th-worst GSAX, sub-.875 save percentage
High-danger rebounds, bad-angle goals, and collapsing confidence around him

Detroit’s Jekyll-and-Hyde identity?
It’s not just game management.
It’s also which goalie is in the net.

20-Game Snapshot: The Good and The Questions

• Stars producing
• PK massively improved
• Rookies making real contributions
• Defensive improvements in structure
• Third-period closure vs Seattle
• In playoff position despite flaws
• 1st place in the division at the quarter-mark

• Will this team ever find consistent scoring from the middle six?
• Can Gibson turn it around?
• Can they avoid the rookie wall?
• Will they protect leads consistently?
• Can they replicate the Seattle third period against real contenders?

Are the Red Wings learning how to win? Or surviving despite themselves?

In this episode, we break down why the Wings keep swinging between dominant and disastrous, including:

Why their win percentage paints a WAY better picture than their actual record

The goaltending problem that’s draining winnable games

Why the Red Wings get tons of possession but no scoring

• Corsi For %
• Fenwick For %

• High-danger chances created
• High-danger shooting percentage

What’s wrong with the top six?

• Emmitt Finnie may be skating hard, but is there enough skill next to Larkin and Kane?
• Raymond is still recovering.
• Kasper looks like a passenger, not a driver.
• Patrick Kane is back, but still not at full speed — and the power play looks lost without his timing.

Why this might be mental, not just talent

But dig deeper, and the cracks appear:
Detroit’s high-danger scoring chance percentage dips below 50%, and their high-danger shooting percentage ranks in the league’s bottom third. Meanwhile, they’re above 50% in both medium- and low-danger shot possession, meaning they’re getting volume — just not finishing quality looks.

It’s a sign of a team that needs its high-end creators — Patrick Kane and Lucas Raymond — back to convert those elite chances. Even so, this year’s 51.5% expected goals share marks a major leap forward for Detroit and helps explain why they’re staying near the top of the standings despite average PDO and inconsistent goaltending.

After being booed off home ice, Todd McLellan’s explosive timeout lit a fire under Detroit, leading to a six-goal comeback and a dominant 5-2 follow-up in St. Louis. Matt and Mike dive into what Max Bultman called “the night that showed both sides” of this team — one that can look disjointed and unstoppable in the same 60 minutes.

We’ll break down:

• McLellan’s message behind the mouth-covered timeout rant and how accountability fuels this group 
• Dylan Larkin’s MVP-level start (8 goals, 8 assists through 10 games) and why he’s dragging this team into relevance 
• Alex DeBrincat’s breakout and rediscovered rhythm 
• The Edvinsson-Seider pairing’s impact and the power play’s resurgence 
• The Gibson/Talbot goaltending puzzle and what it means for consistency 
• Grand Rapids Griffins’ undefeated start — John Leonard’s tear, Carter Mazur’s injury, and Nate Danielson’s rise 

Timestamps:
0:00 – Intro & comeback recap
5:15 – McLellan’s timeout and leadership tone
11:30 – Dylan Larkin’s MVP campaign
18:10 – DeBrincat’s goal and the top line’s resurgence
23:00 – Edvinsson & Seider defensive dominance
28:00 – Gibson’s good but not great start
33:10 – Griffins update & next-man-up talk
38:00 – Previewing the West Coast trip

In this episode of Red Wings Rant, we react to Max Bultman’s latest reporting on the Sabres game, dive into McLellan’s postgame comments about preparation and focus, and examine why structure and pace remain the Red Wings’ biggest strengths — and their biggest vulnerabilities.

From John Gibson’s tough night to the penalty kill’s consistency, to how much Patrick Kane’s absence hurts the power play, we explore how Detroit stacks up against the Atlantic — and why this loss might be the wake-up call they need.

The guys break down what it was like inside the arena, who passed the eyeball test (spoiler: Axel Sandin-Pellikka looked like a seasoned pro), and how Todd McLellan’s influence is already showing up in the details. We’ll talk about Mason Appleton’s incredible two-goal night, Dylan Larkin’s quietly dominant start, and how Patrick Kane and Alex DeBrincat keep piling on the points. Plus, we’ll spotlight Detroit’s penalty kill — now sitting near 90% — looking heavier, smarter, and more responsible than it’s been in years. Finally, we’ll look ahead to the next test: Tampa Bay, Edmonton, and Buffalo. Are the Red Wings for real, or is this just an early-season flash?

The wait is over — Red Wings hockey is BACK.
In this Red Wings Rant Season Preview, Matt and Mike dive into what could be the most exciting opening night in years as Detroit’s youth movement takes center stage.

We break down:
🔥 Roster shake-up: Gustafsson and Holl waived, clearing the way for rookies Emmitt Finnie, Michael Brandsegg-Nygård, and Axel Sandin-Pellikka
🚀 Finnie on the top line: What it means for Larkin and Raymond’s production
💪 Brandsegg-Nygård’s breakout: Leading all Wings in preseason scoring — can he keep it going against Montreal?
⚡ Sandin-Pellikka’s poise: Already trusted on power play, OT, and 5-on-5
💬 Todd McLellan’s message: The team is rooting for its rookies — a culture shift in the making

Then we preview the Montreal Canadiens, Detroit’s first opponent:

• Can their young stars — Caufield, Suzuki, Demidov, and Dobson — handle playoff expectations? 
• How does Detroit’s new depth match up against Montreal’s upgraded defense and explosive top six? 
• And what do we expect from the first week of the season?

The Detroit Red Wings are halfway through the preseason, and it’s time to check in on who’s trending up, who’s trending down, and what it means for the opening night roster.

In this episode of Red Wings Rant, we break down:

• 🚀 Emmitt Finnie’s breakout camp — is he ready for Larkin & Raymond’s top line?

• 💪 Michael Rasmussen – Andrew Copp – Mason Appleton line clicking as a heavy, effective third line.

• 👀 Albert Johansson emerging as a legit top-4 D option.

• ❌ Sebastian Cossa’s shaky preseason start and what it means for his NHL timeline.

• 🔮 Prospects like Nate Danielson, Axel Sandin-Pellikka, and Michael Brandsegg-Nygård pushing hard for the future.

• 🤔 The ongoing question: who fills the 1LW role?

Plus, we react to Max Bultman’s “Red Wings Stock Watch” and roster projection articles, and share what it all means for Detroit’s playoff hopes.

Mike and Matt break down the Detroit Red Wings Red & White Game with fresh eyes from inside Little Caesars Arena. Who passed the eyeball test? Who left us worried?

We spotlight Emmitt Finnie’s relentless camp performance—tenacity, smarts, and a little bit of “hate” in his game—that’s making him impossible to ignore. Is he a real contender for the top line with Larkin and Raymond, or are the Wings dangerously thin if it comes down to Finnie or Soderblom?

We’ll also dig into standout performances from Kasper, Kane, and DeBrincat, plus insights from Max Bultman’s preseason coverage. With so many roster battles at forward and defense, and John Gibson’s first looks in net, this preseason is setting up to answer big questions about Detroit’s 2025–26 outlook.

We’ll kick off with some quick hits before diving into rebuilds and trade chatter:

• New Goalie Coach Michael Leighton joins the staff—an interesting choice given he’s often remembered for yielding Patrick Kane’s Stanley Cup–winning goal back in 2010.
• Roster Moves • Mason Appleton is inking his deal to bring depth up front. • Elmer Söderblom re-signs, keeping that heavy shot and energy in Detroit’s lineup.

Do NHL Rebuilds Actually Work? Top Takeaways

1. Rebuild timelines are long Modern rebuilds average 8.5 years from bottom‑10 finishes to back‑to‑back playoff berths—meaning a team rarely snaps its tailspin in under a decade Daily Faceoff.
2. Most rebuilds succeed…eventually Half of the 20 rebuilds studied yielded at least one Stanley Cup, and nearly all produced sustained contenders—even if they took closer to 10 years to peak Daily Faceoff.
3. Patience is the price of admission GMs often endure losing to buy time, and fans have grown more accustomed to multi‑year rebuilds—yet the expectation clock starts to tick loudest once you’re in Year Nine or Ten.

Why We’re At a Crossroads

Trade Targets to Push Us Over the Edge

• Erik Karlsson – Elite puck‑moving defenseman to ignite breakout play.
• Jordan Kyrou – Speed and scoring touch on the wing.
• Rickard Rakell – Versatile two‑way winger with playoff pedigree.
• Yegor Chinakhov – Powerful prospect drawing fresh interest on the trade block.

We’re going live to break down the Day 1 action:

• Who the Wings missed out on — including Mitch Marner, Gavrikov, K’Andre Miller, and the Florida exodus

• Who they did sign — James Van Riemsdyk signs, Patrick Kane returns, trade for John Gibson, plus Berggren and Johansson ink new deals

• What still needs to happen for this offseason to be a win, like targeting Ehlers

• Potential trade targets now that big names are off the board: Barbashev, Mark Stone, Jordan Kyrou

• And our honest reactions to drafting Carter Bear instead of making a trade

We'll share our confidence levels in Steve Yzerman pulling off something major, talk about realistic next steps, and debate what defines success for this free agency window.

• Trade ideas to optimize the cap for the 2026-27 contention window
• Why Iyer Prashanth says  Rasmus Andersson and Nikolaj Ehlers could be difference-makers
• Which contracts need to go, and who Detroit should target to fill depth gaps
• And finally, our boldest free agency hopes and dreams (yes, we mention Mitch Marner on last time)

And the Red Wings unleashed a killer Centennial Logo and jersey announcement!

Let's kick things off by celebrating Axel Sandin Pellikka's 2025 Elite Prospects Award.

We also discuss more trades with Chris Kreider, Nic Hague, Mitch Marner, Martin Necas, Elias Pettersson, Jason Robertson, Marco Rossi, and more!

The Red Wings are staring down a pivotal moment in the 2025 NHL Draft with the 13th overall pick. With glaring needs at both wings and the blue line, and a clear organizational preference for prospects coming out of the NCAA or SHL, the question becomes: who’s the right fit?

We break down the top candidates on our board: Roger McQueen, Carter Bear, Victor Eklund, Justin Carbonneau, Jackson Smith, Brady Martin, Lynden Lakovic, Kashawn Aitcheson, and Logan Hensler. From physical board play to depth scoring upside, we’re dissecting size, speed, and readiness to find the guy who can wear the winged wheel with pride.

The Red Wings missed the playoffs (again), and we don’t even get the catharsis of knowing what moves are on the table yet. So, let’s do the next best thing—scout the winners. 

This week, we’re breaking down the Final Four teams in the NHL Playoffs and analyzing which of their strategies the Red Wings could reasonably copy. 

Should we go all-in on elite top-line scoring like the Oilers? Embrace the relentless physicality and depth of the Panthers? Follow the Hurricanes’ “suffocate and cycle” philosophy? Or build from the net out like the Stars? 

We compare the team builds, cap strategies, systems, and drafting patterns to ask: which model gives Detroit the fastest path back to relevance?

In this episode of Red Wings Rant, we take a hard look at where the Yzerplan stands after Year 6 and what Steve Yzerman had to say in his postseason press conference. With a ninth straight playoff miss and glaring roster holes, fans are asking: What's next?

We dig into:

• 🔍 Yzerman’s press conference highlights – from roster construction to free agency outlook
• 🍁 Toronto's possible teardown – and whether Mitch Marner could be the elite winger Detroit desperately needs
• 💰 Would Yzerman break the bank for Marner? Or stick to the patient play?

Captain Dylan Larkin finally opens up about the 2024-25 Red Wings season — and he's not holding back. In this episode, we break down Larkin’s honest assessment of how a lack of effort from the front office, specifically GM Steve Yzerman, drained morale in the locker room and left the team struggling to make progress without support. Did Yzerman's quiet trade deadline and roster inaction undermine the team’s playoff push? Are the players losing confidence in the vision? We get into the ripple effect of leadership silence, the cost of complacency, and what this means for the future of the Yzerplan.

The Red Wings are about to miss the postseason for the ninth straight year, and with this being Episode 360, we’ve officially gone full circle. 

Like the 2016–17 team that kicked off this drought, this year’s squad is heading to the tee box—with a few extra pity points and a lot of déjà vu.

We break down what went wrong again, and why the playoff push fizzled out despite deadline moves and big expectations.

Plus:
🏒 Updates from Sean Shapiro’s latest coverage in Grand Rapids—how are the Griffins performing when it matters most?
👀 Prospect check-in: We’ll share the latest on Nate Danielson, Emmitt Finnie, and Sebastian Cossa.
🚨 Roster watch: Could Axel Sandin-Pellikka or Michael Brandsegg-Nygård join the Red Wings before season’s end?

If you’re still watching, you’re either a masochist or a fan clinging to the rebuild dream. Either way, we’re right there with you.

The Red Wings have just 8 games left, are 4 points out of a playoff spot, and own the toughest remaining schedule in the NHL. After yet another soul-crushing loss, we’re here to say what everyone’s thinking: it’s not technically over... but it’s over.

In this episode, we break down why this collapse should spark bigger changes than most fans expect—especially with Detroit’s all-time worst Penalty Kill dragging the team down. We talk potential roster turnover, and why the Wings must be in the mix for impact forwards like Nikolaj Ehlers, Mitch Marner, Sam Bennett, and Brock Boeser.

We also pitch Vladislav Gavrikov as a defensive target, and react to Trey Augustine’s decision to return to MSU for another year instead of turning pro.

It’s a tough time to be a Wings fan—but this is the Rant. Let’s get into it.

The Red Wings are in a tailspin, dropping six straight and making no major moves at the trade deadline to shake things up. So… is the season over?

Should the Wings ride it out with their veterans and hope for a miracle, or is it time to call up the kids and see if a prospect-heavy lineup can bring some energy—and maybe even sneak into the playoffs? We break down Detroit’s options for the final stretch, what this slump means for the Yzerplan, and whether there’s any hope left for 2024. Tune in!

With the NHL Trade Deadline just days away, the Detroit Red Wings are coming off tough losses to the Blue Jackets and Hurricanes. Do these setbacks change how you feel about the team buying at the deadline? We’ll break down Detroit’s playoff hopes, their brutal remaining schedule, and what Carter Mazur’s call-up could mean for the final stretch. Did the Wings’ decision to retain salary in a trade for Tampa Bay hint at Steve Yzerman’s reluctance to make a big move? Let’s discuss the Red Wings’ path forward in our final episode before the deadline!

In this explosive episode of Red Wings Rant, we kick things off by celebrating Patrick Kane’s sensational overtime winner over the Anaheim Ducks—a moment of brilliance that lit up the ice. But while Kane’s heroics spark celebration, we can’t ignore the bitter déjà vu: last year, despite an easy remaining schedule, our team fell short of the playoffs, thanks in no small part to Yzerman’s failure to upgrade at the deadline. 

Fast forward to now, and we face the most grueling remaining schedule in recent memory. With rumors swirling about blockbuster moves involving Elias Pettersson, Mikko Rantanen, Seth Jones, and Erik Karlsson, the question is burning hotter than ever: can the Red Wings finally make the splash that this season demands, or are we doomed to repeat history? Buckle up for a deep dive into the highs, lows, and tough calls that lie ahead.

The Red Wings keep piling up wins, but does that mean they’re a good team even when they’re not playing well? We break down Detroit’s successful West Coast trip, Albert Johansson’s impressive defense against Connor McDavid, Elmer Soderblom’s point streak, Alex DeBrincat’s two-goal night vs. Vancouver, Dylan Larkin’s resurgence post-Todd McLellan, and Lucas Raymond’s consistent excellence.

With one more game against Tampa before the Four Nations Face-Off break, the trade deadline looms just eight games away. The Wings still struggle with 5-on-5 puck possession—who can help? We also dive into the newly adjusted salary cap and what it means for Detroit’s deadline strategy, making ‘unmovable’ contracts more attainable.

Miller’s futures up in the air, there doesn’t seem to be a good trade solution for Vancouver—meaning they’re almost guaranteed to lose any deal they make. Could this be a golden opportunity for the Red Wings? We’ll discuss all this and more in the latest episode of Red Wings Rant!

In this explosive episode of Red Wings Rant, we dive deep into the shocking coaching shakeup in Detroit. After a lackluster 13-17-4 start to the season, GM Steve Yzerman has decided to part ways with head coach Derek LaLonde and bring in the seasoned Todd McLellan. 

We'll dissect the reasons behind this drastic move and what it means for the Red Wings' future. Was LaLonde merely a scapegoat for the team’s deeper roster issues, or was his firing inevitable, given the team's dismal performance? With the Wings struggling offensively and defensively, can McLellan's defensive expertise revitalize the squad and potentially salvage the season? Plus, we'll explore the impact of roster changes and free-agent signings that have left fans questioning the team's direction. Join us as we debate the merits of this bold decision and what lies ahead for Hockeytown under McLellan’s leadership.

We'll break down the game, the Red Wings' current standings, and whether it’s time to consider selling upcoming UFAs like Patrick Kane. 

Lastly, we'll explore why this season should focus on celebrating development milestones for players like Edvinsson, Kasper, and Cossa rather than chasing playoff dreams. Tune in for all the details!

The Detroit Red Wings faced off against the Calgary Flames tonight, looking to secure their second win after a strong showing against the New York Islanders on Monday. With just 4 goals allowed in their last three games, have the Wings finally figured out their defensive game, or is this streak a result of facing weaker offenses?

On the flip side, the Red Wings continue to baffle with a league-worst 5-on-5 offense and a struggling penalty kill, but a top-five power play and top-ten 5-on-5 defense. What’s clicking, and what still needs fixing? Join us as we break down the action, the stats, and what this game tells us about the Red Wings’ trajectory this season!

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.

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!

In this episode of Red Wings Rant, we break down the finalized roster for the 2024-25 season as the Detroit Red Wings gear up for an exciting campaign. Today, the team added veteran forward Austin Watson on a one-year, two-way deal after a successful PTO. 

We'll also discuss the assignments of young prospects like Nate Danielson, Marco Kasper, and Sebastian Cossa to the Grand Rapids Griffins. The big story is the addition of Vladimir Tarasenko, who joins an offensive lineup already boasting stars like Patrick Kane, Alex DeBrincat, Dylan Larkin, and Lucas Raymond. This firepower gives the Red Wings a potent top six with endless scoring potential. 

We’ll analyze how this revamped roster shapes up as the team prepares to kick off their 82-game regular season journey. Tune in as we preview what lies ahead for the Wings!
