Summary
Lots of news in the NHL this week, and not a lot of it is good...buckle up!
Tune in as we begin by discussing the Detroit Red Wings & their loss to Florida, including Simon Edvinsson towering over Matthew Tkachuk (& Yzerman's vision to build a giant blue line with Seider, Edvinsson, Wallinder, & others), Pius Suter staying hot, & Dylan Larkin's sneaky goal (3:45). Next, their shootout win over St. Louis, including Filip Zadina breaking through, Alex Chiasson with another net-front PPG, Lucas Raymond's shootout winner - as well as the "Connor Bedard" NHL Draft Lottery standings & why the "tank" matters more for position with Fantilli, Michkov, Carlsson, & others in the mix (10:40).
Next, we take a look at another NHL Draft Prospect Profile that may be relevant to Hockeytown: Brayden Yager out of the WHL. Can the elite shooting forward be a fit for Lalonde's Red Wings? Does Yzerman project him to be a center (21:10)?
With the Adidas NHL jersey deal set to expire in 2024, Fanatics has stepped in with a 10 year deal with the league - tune in to hear us discuss (emphatically) why hockey fans everywhere are incensed at this news (31:20).
Finally, with the Ohtani vs. Trout showdown in the World Baseball classic, we discuss what Gary Bettman & the NHL is missing out on by not having their players in an international best-on-best tournament like the Olympics or World Cup of Hockey. When will we see McDavid vs. Matthews (44:40)?
Plus, some Red Wings news as Red Savage becomes a Michigan State Spartan and Jon McDonald signs with Detroit out of the NCAA (59:05) before taking your questions during Overtime (1:00:57) - enjoy!
