Summary
Before we jump into Detroit Red Wings talk, Evan has returned with some exciting news! (00:00)
We then jump back to hockey by discussing whether the fears of injury or wear & tear for Dylan Larkin, Lucas Raymond, Moritz Seider, Patrick Kane, and the rest of the Hockeytown Olympic hopefuls are overblown or a legitimate concern. Will Todd McLellan's squad hold tough, or will another bout of injuries leave the scoring to the like of Alex DeBrincat, Simon Edvinsson, Marco Kasper, and the rest of the Red Wings? (7:15)
Next, we compare where Steve Yzerman's Detroit Red Wings are relative to Suzuki, Caufield, Hutson and the Montreal Canadiens, Tkachuk, Stutzle and the Ottawa Senators, and Dahlin's Buffalo Sabres. What does Steve Yzerman need to do to match the talent levels of Demidov & Co., or are Danielson, Sandin Pellikka, Brandsegg-Nygard, & the rest of the Red Wings pipeline more than enough? (21:40)
Finally, notes on the Red Wings broadcast schedule & how much of Ken Daniels & Mickey Redmond we'll see, some quick NHL news, & more (47:30) before we take your questions and comments in our Overtime segment (56:35) - enjoy!

| 0:19.2 | Here are your hosts, Ryan Hanna, Brad Criscoe, and Evan Lopsinger. |
| 0:27.6 | It's not like we always know how to intro these episodes, but it's not often that we spend five minutes wondering how to intro this episode. |
| 0:38.7 | And we did debate and Evan actually pushed for not even acknowledging the fact that he |
| 0:44.5 | had been absent and is now back. |
| 0:46.5 | Because you, you were like, maybe this is easier if we just pretend and just gaslight people. |
| 0:51.4 | Yeah, I thought that would actually be the funniest way of doing it. And we |
| 0:55.0 | haven't, like, talked about how to start an episode in ages. No. Forever. So this one was actually |
| 1:04.4 | tricky. And it feels like I've never done this before at all. It feels like this is my first |
| 1:09.8 | episode ever. |
| 1:12.5 | I don't. |
| 1:16.0 | We're going to talk about some stuff today and, uh, |
| 1:20.0 | are you going to have to dust off the old book of knowledge for sure because, |
| 1:22.7 | whoof, brain has been shut off for sure. |
| 1:24.4 | I mean, it's up to you, boss. You know, it's, it's your collar. |
| 1:25.6 | We can get right into hockey or. Oh, I mean, some's up to you, boss. You know, it's, it's your collar. We can get right into hockey or. |
| 1:28.9 | Oh, I mean, some people already know. |
| 1:31.9 | And I'm sure nobody's wondering why I was missing. |
| 1:34.8 | Some people may not have even noticed, but, uh, it did take them a few episodes. |
| 1:39.0 | I'll tell you that. |
| 1:39.6 | Yeah. |
