Is Detroit Still in the Race? ft. Ken Daniels and Max Bultman

The Detroit Red Wings are somehow still not fully out of this…

Tune in as we’re joined by Max Bultman of The Athletic Detroit (00:00) and (later on, live from WWP Night at the LCA) Ken Daniels on this episode!

We start by discussing the Red Wings and their loss in Hockeytown to Brady Tkachuk, Tim Stutzle, and the Ottawa Senators, including Simon Edvinsson dropping the gloves with Tkachuk, the non-call on Lucas Raymond, Lyon’s tough night, Moritz Seider & Co. struggling, & more as Todd McLellan’s squad drops the Atlantic division game (3:40). Next, a big win in Detroit on Winged Wheel Podcast night, as Alex DeBrincat and Austin Watson set the tone with two great scraps, Marco Kasper, Lucas Raymond, and Cam Talbot combine for the win over Pastrnak’s Boston Bruins, & more (10:40).

After that, a look at the Stanley Cup Playoff race and whether the 2nd Wild Card spot is really in reach for Detroit over Montreal, New York, or Columbus (21:30).

We then jump to our live interview with Ken Daniels, as he talks Detroit Red Wings hockey, working with Mickey Redmond, how Dylan Larkin, Moritz Seider, Lucas Raymond & Co. will have to catch fire even if Steve Yzerman didn’t bring in trade reinforcements, & plenty more (30:15).

Next, Red Wings news on Axel Sandin Pellikka & Michael Brandsegg-Nygard before our 2025 NHL Entry Draft Prospect Profile on Victor Eklund & how he compares to Frondell, Misa, Hagens, & others, as well as NHL news as John Tortorella is fired by the Philadelphia Flyers (1:03:10).

All of that and lots more before we take your questions and comments in our Overtime segment (1:18:00) – enjoy!
