The Detroit Red Wings have kicked off there season, and the first 2 games have been…interesting.
Tune in as we start by discussing a tough home opener that actually started well thanks to DeBrincat, Raymond, & Larkin, but ultimately fell apart as the defense and Ville Husso faltered, Petry getting hurt, & more (4:10). After that, their bounce back next game thanks to Cam Talbot’s heroics, Moritz Seider continuing to dominate, Albert Johansson’s debut and Justin Holl being recalled surprisingly working out, Simon Edvinsson’s strong game, Compher & Copp’s goals, Gustafsson sitting, Fischer hurt, & more (13:15).
Next, our discussion on Steve Yzerman & Derek Lalonde’s willingness to make quick decisions early in the season, what waiving Ville Husso means for Alex Lyon, Austin Watson, & cap flexibility, & future roster plans (23:05).
We then discuss Marco Kasper’s dominance in the AHL with the Grand Rapids Griffins (as well as Sebastian Cossa, Nate Danielson, Carter Mazur, & other solid games) and how he’s ready to join the Red Wings in Hockeytown (34:55).
Finally, NHL news including Utah HC’s hot start, NHL updates, Timothy Liljegren on the trading block and whether the Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman would be a fit for Detroit, Tkachuk’s antics, & more (44:10) before we take your questions & comments in our Overtime segment (54:40) – enjoy!

That new intro!!!!!
Gust didn't look good in preseason. He was lost out there. I saw him spin around like my dog.
RIP Husso. I thought it was bad last season but I don’t see how he makes a comeback
Bad news for jeff petry good new for the fans
That new intro is fire, boys!
Go the shoey!
LaLonde needs to go imo. Having Chiarot run the 2nd PP last game instead of Edvinsson was the final straw for me. Seider should always be on the first unit as well.
You know Petry will get his spot back when healthy. His father is Dan Petry and he's a local guy. No way they sit him or even put on a 3rd pair even if he's awful.
Unfortunately for Brad I think it'll take longer than 10 games to make changes but I would only extend that to Nov. 13th which is our first 4 game road trip. Also would it be crazy to consider if Husso doesn't rebound make a trade Husso for Liljegren and Detroit retains for balance or if Toronto didn't want 4 goalies would Stolarz be out of the question? Detroit could still send whoever down to the AHL for flexibility and if you do Husso for Liljegren and Stolarz then it's almost 1:1 in cap space so neither team has to retain. Thoughts?
