Zadina Snipes but Wings Still Fall

Despite Filip Zadina having a great game, the Red Wings lose 5-2 and have a minus 11 goal differential in their last 3 games.

Tampa Bay, more Carolina, and Dallas are on deck.

We also play everyone’s favorite game: Who’s That Pokemon! And we open up the floor to questions from YOU!

Red Wings Struggle Immensely without Larkin

The Red Wings severely regressed in the third game-in-a-row without Dylan Larkin. The goal differential for the last two games was -8 and the analytics tell a deeper story.

Dylan Larkin, Tyler Bertuzzi, and Troy Stetcher are skating in practice, but how much longer can the WIngs holdout with Carolina, Tampa Bay, and Dallas up next?

Evgeny Svechnikov and Christian Djoos Power the Wings to Victory

The Detroit Red Wings broke through a couple of different walls they’ve had trouble with all season: Winning two in a row, beating the Blackhawks, and scoring a Power Play goal.

We also got to see Evgeny Svechnikov play in his first game this season. He scored his first goal and helped Nielsen look respectable, and provided a legit scoring threat beyond the first line.

Are the Red Wings Officially Tanking?

Hi everybody and welcome to Episode 23 of Season 2 of Red Wings Rant hosted by the Brothers of Discussion and brought to you by the Hockey Podcast Network. Where tirades and impassioned pleas about your Detroit Red Wings, finally, have a home. The Detroit Red Wings turned in their 3rd worst defensive game of the season against the Nashville Predators (from an xGA/60 perspective) and Jonathan Bernier played his nuts off again.
We also discuss Steve Yzerman’s press conference, where he subtly suggested the Wings are open for business and also stated that Goals and Assists are instinct (in one fail swoop backing Blashill and trashing his forwards)

Mathias Brome's First Goal is a Game Winner, feat Ken Kal

The Red Wings get another regulation win over the Discover Central Division Leading Florida Panthers. This, of course, coming after a 7-2 defeat the night before. We also have Ken Kal, the Detroit Red Wings radio announcer on tap to discuss his career, how prep for games has changed during the rebuild, and what Ken sees as a timetable for a winning team!
