Summary
The Detroit Red Wings are back, they've blown two late-game leads in two days, and Patrick Kane has an electric overtime game winner - par for the course in Hockeytown (00:00).
Tune in as we start by discussing Todd McLellan's squad's overtime loss to the Minnesota Wild, including Alex DeBrincat's goal, assist, and massive hit on Brock Faber (and Andrew Copp getting hurt in the scrum), Dylan Larkin and Lucas Raymond picking up where they left off, a comedy of errors from Patrick Kane, Tarasenko, Moritz Seider, Erik Gustafsson, Cam Talbot, & more as the Red Wings blew the lead (4:45). Next, the rebound game against the Anaheim Ducks, including more of Alex DeBrincat, Lucas Raymond, Dylan Larkin, Patrick Kane, and the Red Wings power play, Marco Kasper's big night (with a nice reverse hit on Radko Gudas), Trevor Zegras and his uncalled hit to the head of Michael Rasmussen, Alex Lyon and the team blowing another lead, and Showtime's incredible OT winner against the odds (22:30). Also, a quick look at Detroit's Stanley Cup Playoff race positioning and schedule ahead (35:15).
Next, our 4 Nations Face-Off tournament recap, including Connor McDavid and Team Canada's dramatic overtime victory over Dylan Larkin, Matthew & Brady Tkachuk, & Team USA, why this has been such a big success for the NHL and international hockey, Dylan Larkin being the true Captain America, how guys like Simon Edvinsson & others can earn their way onto future teams, & more (38:15).
Finally, NHL news including Mikko Rantanen's continued uncertainty and how that could play into Steve Yzerman's hands, as well as Alexander Ovechkin chasing down Wayne Gretzky for the all-time NHL goals record (59:10) before we take your questions and comments in our Overtime segment (1:03:30) - enjoy!

| 0:19.1 | Here are your hosts, Ryan Hanna, Brad Criscoe, and Evan Lopsinger. |
| 0:27.6 | So this is just what late career Patrick Kane is, right? Feast or famine, your heart is pounding |

| 0:38.9 | another. It's either, oh my God, what's he doing? Oh my God, that's a turnover. Or he has a puck |
| 0:46.3 | on a breakaway and overtime again. You know absolutely he's putting that in. Well, you're standing in |
| 0:50.5 | my kitchen because this is, I think, the third straight time we've had to record the podcast directly post game in the evening. |
