Summary
LUCKY NUMBER 7 STRAIGHT WINS IN HOCKEYTOWN!
Tune in as we discuss the wild seven game win streak by Todd McLellan's Detroit Red Wings (0:00), starting with their win over Connor Bedard's Chicago Blackhawks (including performances by Patrick Kane, Alex DeBrincat, Albert Johansson's 1st NHL goal, Erik Gustafsson, Lucas Raymond, Marco Kasper, & more) (3:35), followed by a commanding 6-2 win over the Seattle Kraken, including an insane 4 goal flurry to start, Dylan Larkin staying hot, more from Detroit's best players, Moritz Seider's reverse hit, J.T. Compher, Marco Kasper, & others contributing, & more (13:30), as well as a look ahead and whether this performance is really a new coach bump or if we can expect this from Steve Yzerman's Red Wings moving forward (22:50).
After that, we analyze the emerging Albert Johansson and Erik Gustafsson, whether their improved play is here to stay under McLellan & Yawney, if Johansson should play with Simon Edvinsson all season, & how this affects Detroit's outlook and whether they can make the playoffs (25:20), as well as updates on the Dylan Cozens trade rumors with the Buffalo Sabres & whether the Red Wings should be looking at other moves (Petterson? Miller?) (38:25).
Finally, NHL news including Zadorov's hypocrisy, Boston Bruins drama, & plenty more (48:00) before we take your questions and comments in our Overtime segment (55:20) - 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. |
| 0:19.1 | Here are your hosts, Ryan Hanna, Brad Criscoe, and Evan Lopsinger. |
| 0:30.8 | Sometimes in life, the miracles and the joy, you have to capitalize because it may only exist for a moment. |
| 0:39.3 | But as we sit here on Sunday at 6.30 p.m. before the evening games wrap up, |
| 0:47.0 | based on points percentage, |
| 0:50.2 | the Detroit Red Wings are in a playoff spot. |
| 0:52.7 | Stop the count. You know the drill? |
| 0:55.7 | We're getting close to like February. |
| 0:58.6 | We have hope again. |
| 1:00.0 | I know it's not been the exact same as last season, but we are running dangerously close |
| 1:05.0 | to the last season's storyline. |
| 1:06.4 | Like things look bleak. |
| 1:08.1 | They pick it up and then, you know, a big moment's going to happen in February |
| 1:11.5 | and Brad's going to look into the camera and say, I think this team's making the playoffs, but |
| 1:16.3 | no, I'm not going to say that again. We've been hurt before, but seven straight wins. I really |
| 1:23.4 | thought me coming back from vacation would lead to this team's good fortune going away |
| 1:27.8 | and then I'd get yelled at, as would be deserved. But seven straight wins is unreal. And it was right |
| 1:33.6 | off the hop today against Seattle. Longest winning streak since 2012. That predates us. That's wow. |
| 1:42.0 | In the history of this podcast, we have never got to enjoy a seven game winning streak before today. |
| 1:48.9 | Let's enjoy it now before it goes away. |
| 1:50.8 | Folks, welcome to the Wingwheel podcast here to talk to you about all things Detroit Redwoods hockey, the world of the NHL, and lots more. |
