Summary
It's not mathematically over for the Detroit Red Wings, but it feels like it's over.
Tune in as we discuss the latest loss as the Red Wings fell to the Vegas Golden Knights, including Lucas Raymond, Dylan Larkin, Patrick Kane, Alex DeBrincat, & the Detroit power play combining for the only hope in the game before falling in the lopsided affair, as well as an overall discussion on what has gone wrong for Todd McLellan's squad in another miserable March (6:20).
We then get into the realities of the Stanley Cup Playoff race as well as the NHL Draft Lottery outlook for the familiar position for Steve Yzerman's squad (13:10). Also, news on Trey Augustine, Red Savage, & the Michigan State Spartans, Axel Sandin Pellikka, Jeff Petry & Erik Gustafsson, & more (29:00).
After that, a discussion on some potential targets for Steve Yzerman this offseason as he looks for a stopgap until Nate Danielson, Marco Kasper, Brandsegg-Nygard, & others can take over: Brad Marchand? John Tavares? Brock Boeser? Defensive help for Moritz Seider and Simon Edvinsson? (31:40)
Next, the NHL taking a look at adding expansion teams in Houston and Atlanta, and maybe 2 more markets (47:05) before getting into our 2025 NHL Entry Draft Prospect Profile on Porter Martone: is he worth a #1 overall pick over Hagens, Schaefer, or Misa? What's his ceiling? (56:45)
All of that and lots more before we take your questions and comments in our Overtime segment (1:04:35) - enjoy!

| 0:14.5 | on the Detroit Red Wings, the NHL, and all things hockey. |
| 0:19.1 | Here are your hosts, Ryan Hanna, Brad Criscoe, and Evan Lopsinger. |
| 0:27.6 | I will say this. |
| 0:32.4 | This has been the greatest weekend of my life. |
| 0:36.3 | And that is because I, for the first time this week, opened up |
| 0:42.0 | Twitter to find out that Ryan had been suspended slash temporarily banned. And that was my |
| 0:51.5 | Stanley Cup. If the Red Wings don't make the playoffs, |
| 0:56.3 | that was my Stanley Cup because I, |
| 0:59.0 | thank God I wasn't eating or drinking when I saw that because I laughed so hard at that. |
| 1:03.1 | And you got no sympathy from anyone. |
| 1:06.6 | Everyone jumped right down your throat |
| 1:09.2 | and was, you know, saying this should have happened a long time ago. |
| 1:14.1 | You know, the free Ryan Hannah hashtag was floating around for a bit. |
| 1:18.3 | You even tweeted that. |
| 1:19.3 | I tweeted that. I was surprised that you tweeted that. I was like, oh, my God, I can't believe Evans on my side. |
| 1:23.2 | Oh, I knew you'd just go on the podcast account and harass everyone there. |
| 1:29.3 | So I figured I'd play nice for once, but oh my God. I saw that. I laughed so hard. I'm so sorry that happened. And I |
| 1:36.5 | know how much that bothered you. That didn't bother you? I was laughing, man. You know what? Oh my |
| 1:42.3 | God. I thought for sure you would be freaking out. |
| 1:45.7 | I looked at that and I was like, this is about to be the 12 most peaceful hours of my life. |
| 1:50.6 | So this is a bad thing. |
