Summary
One of our biggest episodes every year: the Detroit Red Wings Season in Review.
Tune in as we start our 2024/2025 Red Wings NHL season recap by covering our overall sentiments on the season, and how the transition from Derek Lalonde to Todd McLellan after Steve Yzerman fired the former really split the year into 2 parts (5:00). We then jump into the offense, including overall play 5v5 and individual player analyses of Dylan Larkin, Lucas Raymond, Alex DeBrincat, Patrick Kane, & Marco Kasper (23:25). We continue with Andrew Copp, Elmer Soderblom, Vladimir Tarasenko, J.T. Compher, Jonatan Berggren, Michael Rasmussen, and the rest of the Hockeytown forward group (52:00). We then jump into defense, including season breakdowns for Moritz Seider, Simon Edvinsson, Albert Johansson, Ben Chiarot, Jeff Petry, Justin Holl, Erik Gustafsson, and the entire Detroit blue line (1:07:40). Finally, the goaltending, including Ville Husso, Cam Talbot, Alex Lyon, Petr Mrazek, and 1 game of Sebastian Cossa (1:27:40), before talking special teams, coaching with Todd McLellan, and Steve Yzerman's performance as general manager (1:33:35).
Also, takeaways from the Red Wings locker room media, including Patrick Kane being likely to return to Detroit and Dylan Larkin's open frustration at the Red Wings' lack of trade deadline moves (1:42:35) & more before we take your questions and comments in our Overtime segment (1:46:10) - enjoy!

| 0:14.5 | on the Detroit Red Wings, the NHL, and all things hockey. |
| 0:19.2 | Here are your hosts, Brian Hanna, Brad Criscoe, and Evan Lopsinger. |
| 0:27.6 | It was a fitting end to the season in that they matched everything else. Like if you want to know the definition of microcosm, |
| 0:37.7 | that leaf's loss was a microcosm of the Red Wing season. |
| 0:42.0 | Didn't mean anything, but it did. |
| 0:45.3 | Yeah, it meant because the Leafs couldn't do that in regulation, |
| 0:48.6 | Detroit instead of picking 11th, pick 12th. |
| 0:50.8 | There was a very, |
| 0:51.4 | or have that into the draft lottery odds. |
| 0:53.7 | There was a very specific set of circumstances that would have led to the Red Wings |
| 0:58.7 | picking 11th. |
| 0:59.4 | The Rangers had to win, the Blue Jadgets had to win, and the Red Wings had to lose in regulation. |
| 1:04.5 | All of it happened except the in regulation part for the Red Wings. |
| 1:07.7 | So we didn't get the satisfaction of a win. |
| 1:09.8 | And we also didn't get the satisfaction of a win. And we also didn't |
| 1:10.8 | get the one spot bump in the draft. Yeah, but that's whatever. It doesn't matter anyways because |
| 1:15.8 | Detroit's not going to win the draft lottery regardless. So the first was never in play, |
| 1:19.7 | second's not in play. We know how these things go. But for me, it's in a game that doesn't matter. |
| 1:24.3 | Like it doesn't actually mean anything of consequence. It still had to go where Detroit allowed the tying goal in the literal dying seconds |
| 1:35.7 | of regulation to then lose in overtime. |
| 1:39.5 | When they had an opportunity to score on the empty net just prior, what was it like two seconds left, 1.8 seconds left on the clock. |
