Summary
It's make or break time. This Detroit Red Wings podcast breaks down the Red Wings vs. Flames comeback win via Patrick Kane's clutch performance. Hockeytown news & analysis covers the playoff push with Copp injury updates & the Atlantic race still neck-and-neck.
(00:00) - Playoff Push Futility
We open with some bleak overview on how Detroit's playoff hopes hinge on unbeatable teams losing, plus frustrations with three-point games hurting the Red Wings.
(06:34) - Red Wings vs Flames Game Recap
Dominik Shine gets the squad going with a fight that had Kane & Co. fired up. Patrick Kane & Alex DeBrincat leads the comeback after a sluggish first period! Emmitt Finnie and Albert Johansson step up and the power play finally clicks on Moritz Seider's 9th goal of the season.
(19:45) - Andrew Copp Injury Update
Copp returns to practice early and could be the knight in shining armor Detroit needs, following the David Perron blueprint from last week. Dylan Larkin and Michael Rasmussen stay sidelines, as Michael Brandsegg-Nygard is close and Axel Sandin-Pellikka seems poised for the AHL's Grand Rapids Griffins.
(29:45) - Atlantic Division Standings Crisis
Columbus and Ottawa have just one regulation loss in their last 10 games combined - the playoff cutoff now projects to 99 points as teams below Detroit surge. Can Lucas Raymond, Todd McLellan, and the Red Wings keep pace?
(39:15) - Finnie at Center? & Red Wings Pipeline Updates
Eddie Genborg signs his ELC with Detroit, and heads to the Griffins for their finishing stretch. Also, Max Plante and Trey Augustine are honored in the NCAA as Hobey Baker finalists.
(46:55) - NHL Offseason Targets, League News, & the World Cup of Hockey
Breaking down potential offseason moves (Tuch, Lafreniere, Maccelli, or MacTavish?) and the complete meltdown around Auston Matthews and the Toronto Maple Leafs. Plus, Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers facing a playoff push without Leon Draisaitl.
(1:10:30) - Overtime Mailbag
Listener questions on the playoff race, lineup decisions, and whether this team can actually make it to the postseason.

| 0:28.5 | I'm not one to usually involve myself with get rich quick schemes, |

| 0:36.6 | And again, |
| 0:37.0 | I'm not a big sports better either. |
| 0:38.4 | But if you put a lot of money on all the teams that Detroit needs to lose any given night, |
| 0:50.2 | you are going to win a lot of money and retire early. |

| 1:12.5 | Like, I don't know what you want me to tell you. I had a buddy to that end say, and he's big into sports betting. He's like, Ryan, he always asks me for picks. I'm like, you know what, whatever I tell you, it's just the opposite's going to happen. That's the way it goes. That's why I don't do it. From time to time, I'll tell him something. |
| 1:27.4 | My biggest show was calling ASP's first goal, |
| 1:29.9 | and he listened, so he made a nice chunk of change off that. But regardless, he was like, you know, for all the time that you did the podcast, had you just put, you know, 10, 20 bucks down on the Red Wings losing every single game for the duration of how long you've been doing this podcast. I'd be retired. |
| 1:44.6 | You'd be retired. |
| 1:45.3 | Your mom would be retired. |
