Summary
The 4 Nations Face-Off Final is set, and Dylan Larkin's Detroit Red Wings are also gearing up to return to play... (00:00)
Tune in as we're joined by Max Bultman of The Athletic Detroit to discuss the USA vs. Canada rematch in the 4 Nations Face-Off, including how we got here, Dylan Larkin, Brady & Matthew Tkachuk, and Team USA (without Quinn Hughes) taking on Connor McDavid, Nathan MacKinnon, Sidney Crosby, & Team Canada. Also, Larkin & Lucas Raymond's performances & what this means for their play in Hockeytown (3:55).
After that, quick notes on Detroit's locker room dynamic, and why Andrew Copp, Jeff Petry, and Jonatan Berggren were notable in a player poll (30:15).
Next, we take a look ahead at the NHL Trade Deadline as Steve Yzerman will decide whether to stand pat, sell, or bolster Todd McLellan's team: find support for Moritz Seider & Simon Edvinsson on defense? More offense to help Alex DeBrincat and Patrick Kane? Trade Vladimir Tarasenko? Is Elias Petterson an option or better to wait for Mikko Rantanen or Mitch Marner (36:20)?
Finally, NHL news including Gary Bettman's final CBA and the white vs. dark home vs. away jersey debate (51:25) before we take your questions and comments in our Overtime segment (59:35) - enjoy!

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Wingwheel podcast, the number one source for news, analysis, and discussion on the Detroit Red Wings, the NHL, and all things hockey. |
| 0:19.3 | Here are your hosts, Ryan Hanna, Brad Criscoe, and Evan Lopsinger. |
| 0:30.5 | It would have been really good if everyone was staying healthy to do this episode, Max, in person, |
| 0:36.9 | and that we could have stayed over and watched the |
| 0:39.1 | Canada, USA, Four Nations finals tomorrow, but people, the players on the American team are |
| 0:46.1 | either hurt or hurt and also have an infection and are like in the hospital and are either |
| 0:50.8 | joining the team or not. |
| 0:52.2 | Like they're dropping like flies. |
| 0:53.7 | And so it's kind of taking the fun out of this. |
| 0:55.9 | Yeah, Evan is one U.S. passport from starting that game on Thursday night. |

| 1:18.0 | Oh, yeah. |
| 1:18.6 | You would hear me gasping for air all the way up in the press box. |
| 1:25.1 | Not too much different than when you gas for air just sitting at the podcast. |
| 1:29.2 | So the remote episodes are a bit easier for you. |
| 1:31.8 | All right, folks, Max Baldwin of the Athletic Detroit here on this episode of the Wingreel |
| 1:35.0 | podcast, a good in the room episode, which means we're remote, but it's for good reason |
