Summary
NATE THE GREAT HAS ARRIVED IN HOCKEYTOWN.
Tune in as we open by discussing the Detroit Red Wings and Nate Danielson taking down the Seattle Kraken, including Lucas Raymond staying hot, Nate Danielson's 1st (and almost 2nd) career goal, assist, and how Axel Sandin-Pellikka & Emmitt Finnie contributed to his big game, Moritz Seider, Simon Edvinsson, Cam Talbot, and the rest of the Red Wings playing great games, & more as Todd McLellan's squad rolls on and takes the lead in the Atlantic Division (4:30). After that, a look at the point paces of Raymond, Dylan Larkin, and Alex DeBrincat (Team USA hopeful?), and whether they can reach new heights in Hockeytown this season (22:35).
Next, a look at how tight the Eastern Conference playoff race is compared to the West in the NHL, as the Red Wings eye a divisional seed over teams like the Florida Panthers, Toronto Maple Leafs, Tampa Bay Lightning, & other previous top teams (34:45).
We then discuss Hockeytown pipeline prospects: Sebastian Cossa returning to the Grand Rapids Griffins while Carter Mazur is out long term, Trey Augustine dominating with Michigan State as the Spartans truck through the NCAA, Brent Solomon signing with Wisconsin, & more (45:50).
After that, NHL news including Adrian Kempe's contract & what it means for Steve Yzerman's free agency options (and how Yzerman will need to be more aggressive with trades), MacKinnon, Crosby, Celebrini, & Bedard leading the league, Copp, Compher, Talbot, & Gibson being linked in trade theories, and Patrick Roy blowing up on Mikko Rantanen (49:20).
All of that & lots more before we take your questions and comments in our Overtime segment (1:00:15) - enjoy!
