WWP NIGHT w/ the GRAND RAPIDS GRIFFINS TICKETS ON SALE NOW: https://griffinshockey.com/wwp
It's Moritz Seider's world, we're just living in it.
Tune in as we start by recapping the first of Detroit's two wins over Alexander Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals, including goals and strong play from John Leonard, James van Riemsdyk, Elmer Soderblom, Moritz Seider, Dylan Larkin, Simon Edvinsson, and Andrew Copp, John Gibson's 7th straight win, and more from Todd McLellan's squad (4:20). Next, the Red Wings going back-to-back thanks to another goal from Leonard (filling in for Patrick Kane alongside Alex DeBrincat and Andrew Copp), Lucas Raymond (from Sandin-Pellikka and Finnie), Cam Talbot's strong game, and Moritz Seider's absolutely electric overtime game winner at Little Caesars Arena (12:55). We then take a look at Detroit's standings in the Atlantic division and the road ahead for Steve Yzerman's team (23:00).
After that, we dive into the numbers behind Moritz Seider's superstar-level season, how he's surpassed even Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar in some metrics, how Simon Edvinsson has helped free up his game, and his candidacy for the Norris and Hart Trophies (28:45).
We then discuss Marco Kasper's sophomore slump, as well as the Grand Rapids Griffins' AHL record-setting start the season (with Cossa, Brandsegg-Nygard, Holl, Gustafsson, and others leading the way under Dan Watson) (37:25) before jumping into NHL news (Berggren in St. Louis, Marchand, Danault and Marchment trades, & more). (48:10)
All of that & lots more before we take your questions and comments in our Overtime segment (1:05:10) - enjoy!

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Wingwheel podcast, the number one source for news, analysis, and discussion 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. |
| 0:28.6 | Brad's missing out, man. |
| 0:30.3 | I knew something was off. |
| 0:32.1 | The Christmas tree's closer. |
| 0:33.5 | You just realized that now? |
| 0:36.3 | It's itching its way towards me, just like Christmas Day itself. |
| 0:40.0 | That's right. |
| 0:40.7 | Brad's not here. |
| 0:42.3 | And so I was like, well, his seat's gone. |
| 0:43.9 | I'm moving this tree over. |
| 0:44.8 | This is our last episode with the tree and the shot until next year. |
| 0:47.6 | Wow. |
| 0:48.2 | Yeah. |
| 0:49.0 | Because after this episode. |
| 0:50.3 | I don't know if we could take the tree down. |

| 1:05.5 | Just like you slowly broke me with golf, I'm slowly breaking you with Christmas. |
| 1:09.2 | I don't know. If the Red wings are on their usual December stuff, the tree could go down tomorrow for all I care. But right now, I don't know if we can take it down. Brad's going to have to sit over there. We're not moving the tree further away. That's better for me, for you, the listeners and viewers, the tree, the Red Wings. They'll just hear Brad. They won't see Brad. Just, well, it can't be wins all around. Yeah. For the most part. But oh man, wins all around for the Red Wings. What an electric finish.
