IN TODD WE TRUST – ANOTHER 7 STRAIGHT RED WINGS WINS

Two big milestones: almost a year since the last time Patrick Kane scored a filthy game-winning goal and the Detroit Red Wings were in a playoff spot, and we’re almost at the 10 year anniversary of the Winged Wheel Podcast (00:00).

Tune in as we start by discussing Detroit’s 3-2 overtime win against Petterson and the Vancouver Canucks, including Alex DeBrincat’s 2 goals & Raymond’s setup for the winner, Berggren finding Chiarot, McLellan’s Red Wings dragging on a long road trip, Alex Lyon coming up big & more (4:50), as well as the road trip-sweeping shootout win over Beniers and the Seattle Kraken, including the Dylan Larkin – Marco Kasper – Lucas Raymond line starting things off, the missed trip on Rasmussen, Moritz Seider, Jonatan Berggren, and Elmer Soderblom scoring, and Patrick Kane’s record-setting, absolutely disgusting shootout goal to win it (13:45). Also, updates on Jeff Petry’s health and Dominik Shine being sent down to the AHL’s Grand Rapids Griffins (27:40).

Next, we discuss Detroit’s current positioning in the Stanley Cup Playoff race & whether they can compete with the likes of the Ottawa Senators, Tampa Bay Lightning, & Boston Bruins to hang on (32:25). Also, does Todd McLellan deserve Jack Adams votes for NHL coach of the year (40:35), and should Elmer Soderblom stay up with the Hockeytown squad (46:15)?

After that, a look at the NHL Player Survey and some interesting results (especially for Little Caesars Arena), the Buffalo Sabres’ weak response to the hit on Tage Thompson, Cuylle’s hit on Pietrangelo, & more (54:20) before we take your questions and comments in our Overtime segment (1:12:00) – enjoy!
