The Detroit Red Wings season is underway and it has already been a bit of a rollercoaster...
Tune in as we open by discussing Todd McLellan's squad's 5-1 loss to Lane Hutson and the Montreal Canadiens in their home opener, including Dylan Larkin opening scoring from Patrick Kane and Moritz Seider, Johansson and Hamonic's awful game, John Gibson getting pulled, how Sandin-Pellikka, Brandsegg-Nygard, and Finnie fared, Todd McLellan's message to Dylan Larkin, Lucas Raymond, Moritz Seider, Michael Rasmussen, and the rest of the Detroit Red Wings to wake them up, and more as the Centennial jersey debut finished in Hockeytown boos (4:10).
After that, the Detroit Red Wings' huge turnaround against Matthews and the Toronto Maple Leafs: Patrick Kane and Alex DeBrincat lighting it up, Lucas Raymond scoring goal #100, Emmitt Finnie's 1st NHL point, Simon Edvinsson mixing it up, & lots more (18:45).
Next, we assess how the kids are doing and whether ASP, MBN, and Finnie will hold onto their spots, and how Nate Danielson, Carter Mazur, Amadeus Lombardi, and other young guns may factor in pushing players like Berggren, Soderblom, Rasmussen, & others (33:30).
Also, Jacob Bernard-Docker's play next to Albert Johansson, Detroit's big players playing small, & NHL news with Tyler Myers sticking Connor McDavid & more NHL scheduling woes (39:50), & lots more before we take your questions and comments in our Overtime segment (52:20) - enjoy!

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Wingwheel podcast, the number one source for news, analysis and discussion, |
| 0:14.5 | on the Detroit Red Wings, the NHL, and all things hockey. |
| 0:19.1 | Here are your hosts, Brian Hanna, Brad Criscoe, and Evan Lopsinger. |
| 0:28.6 | I'm always so happy, Evan, when you jump in with something on the show that's like, |
| 0:34.6 | you're pushing a topic or a conversation because one, people love it and they think that you don't do it enough. And that's just you. And I'm always like, yes, Evan's in it. You can tell he's in his bag right now. He's feeling it. New dad energy, new dad bump. I don't want you to do that anymore. That's done. No problem. Yeah. Because last episode in the season preview, I don't know what, you got a gust of adrenaline. And you're like, oh, can we do a hot take too? And then you're like, but it has to be a really hot take. So I'm sitting here. Yeah, yours is looking hotter every day that passes. All the pressure. And I'm like, oh, man, I want to, I want to give this a good one. Evan Evans pushing this. How do I go off the board here a little bit? I don't want to do the obvious. And I come out with John Gibson over 920 save percentage. And that's your, I'm pinning that on you. It's getting hotter by the minute. What did you say in the live stream is you need to score a couple goals to get to 920? |
| 1:28.4 | He absolutely is. |
| 1:30.2 | Yeah, you trap me there. |
| 1:32.2 | It'll be incredible seeing a Detroit Redivings goalie win the heart. |
| 1:36.7 | With the comeback performance of like third in the rocket Richard Rashard race and, you know, a 919 save percentage. |
| 1:43.7 | Yes. |
| 1:44.4 | This is what I get. |
| 1:46.7 | It's hilarious, though. |
| 1:49.5 | Well, I can't even remember your two hot takes because I'm just blinded with shame |
| 1:53.6 | from mine going down game one. |
| 1:56.0 | Luckily, the Red Wings came back with the win the second game, so this is an immediate |
| 2:00.0 | miserable episode. |
| 2:01.5 | I was a post away from my hot take getting a good head start, but Axel Sandine Pelica was just |
| 2:06.9 | Yeah, he did come close, didn't he? He came very close. In any case, this was, I think that |
| 2:13.4 | performance last night really, it kind of took the little bit of good we saw in game one. And then it was like, hey, no, that's real. And that just changed the entire tune for today's show. So what you're saying is the moral of the story, we should do nine preseason games. Don't do that. No, thank you. Don't do that. Welcome to the Wing to the World folks, here to talk to you about all things. Detroit Red Wings Hockey this season has kicked off the world of the NHL and lots more. I'm one of your host, Ryan Hanna.
