Winged Wheel Podcast - A Detroit Red Wings Podcast

The Detroit Red Wings won...but at what cost?

Tune in as we discuss the NHL's most boring victory on Frozen Frenzy night, as the Red Wings beat the Islanders on Long Island 1-0 thanks to Patrick Kane's goal from Tarasenko, a ton of huge saves in Alex Lyon's shutout performance, Simon Edvinsson and Moritz Seider working well together, and a measly 11 shots on goal. We discuss why the offense has been so anemic despite Dylan Larkin, Lucas Raymond, Alex DeBrincat, Kane, Compher, Berggren, and others all looking to take steps, the strength of the Edvinsson-Seider pair compared to the rest of Derek Lalonde's defense corps, and Alex Lyon's stellar play to start the season (4:30).

After that, a quick look at the NHL's perception of Steve Yzerman and his work in rebuilding Hockeytown, as well as a note on Carter Mazur and the Grand Rapids Griffins (as Cossa's squad is without him and Marco Kasper) (34:45), before jumping into NHL news including Trouba's hit on Barron, the Four Nations Frenzy, & more (40:30) before we take your questions & comments in our Overtime segment (57:45) - enjoy!
