Summary
What a week of news for the Detroit Red Wings, who are all of a sudden on a 4 game winning streak.
Tune in as we open by discussing their win over the Vancouver Canucks, including one of the best games of Dylan Larkin's career, another solid Husso win, strong showings from Rasmussen, Veleno, Berggren, Fabbri, Lindstrom, & more (5:23). Also, the win the Red Wings stole from Connor McDavid & the Edmonton Oilers, including Larkin, Seider, Fabbri, & Maatta taking advantage of a shaky Jack Campbell, Lalonde's squad's 3rd period collapse, Husso's clutch performance, Moritz Seider's 1v1 defensive play to stop McDavid, & more (13:20).
Next, we take some time to recognize how good Dylan Larkin has been since the All-Star break, Moritz Seider's return to form, & Ville Husso's streak of great hockey (20:45).
We also discuss Jakub Vrana being recalled to the Detroit Red Wings, how we were able to confirm the report, what it means for Vrana's future, how it affects Soderblom, Lucas Raymond, Jake Walman, & other, & more (26:40).
Today's big news: Steve Yzerman extended Olli Maatta to a 2 year, $3 million per season contract. What does this mean for Walman & Chiarot, let alone Simon Edvinsson, Albert Johansson, William Wallinders, & other prospects (36:20)? Also, with Detroit's winning streak bringing them closer to a playoff spot, does Yzerman change his trade deadline strategy? Does Hockeytown have a chance of returning to the postseason (46:50)? Finally, some NHL news about Chychrun, Bally Sports bankrupty, & more (55:30) before we take your questions during Overtime (1:01:55) - enjoy!
