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. (Submit your favorite moments of the last decade of WWP here: https://x.com/WingedWheelPod/status/1885818163519951307/
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, as well as the road trip-sweeping shootout win over Beniers and the Seattle Kraken, including the Larkin-Kasper-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. Also, updates on Jeff Petry’s health and Dominik Shine being sent down to the AHL’s Grand Rapids Griffins.
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. Also, does Todd McLellan deserve Jack Adams votes for NHL coach of the year, and should Elmer Soderblom stay up with the Hockeytown squad?
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 before we take your questions and comments in our Overtime segment – enjoy!

The Toddfather
The one good thing if Shesterkin runs hot right now is that they have a lot of four point games right now. While it would suck to have to keep up with them, it would push down the others behind Detroit.
49:45 He pulled up when he saw Burakovsky's numbers, too. I was impressed with that when he's being pushed to be more physical.
The missed call on Rassmussen was the worst missed call since the missed trip on Rassmussen like 3 minutes earlier
57:20 I hear good things about the Edmonton Mall. haha
58:48 Ho-ly! You have to be pretty bad to not have coached in the league in years, and people are still like, "No, that guy. That's a whole bunch of nope."
Look, I get that it is a thing to dunk on how bad the Joe was at the end, but I only went once. I went in the last season. It was the game where Svech scored his first "goal" (wasn't a goal cause it was a shootout). I didn't have a single issue with the facilities, and I was over the top excited about riding the train to the Joe. I didn't have to ride the train. I did it because I wanted that experience to get off the train right at the Joe. I haven't been to the LCA yet. I'm sure it is great. But I did like the Joe.
When Rantanen gets traded the quote from him will be "finally; I'm a trough free man." Also let's not undermine the difficulty of the rest the schedule. After the 4 nations there are no easy games, and if there are it's maybe 5 or less.
I mean, you have to have the Seider draft night hot takes, right?
Slim💪🏼💪🏼
If we make the playoffs when on average our remaining teams are all playoff caliber, that bodes extremely well for our chances IN the playoffs.
69!!!
On the whole streaming NHL without ads idea… first thing's first, guys. They need to have streaming access to NHL Network without requiring a cable (traditional or streaming) sub. I'd gladly give the league $5 a month for access to the NHL Network. I have zero desire to pay Sling or some other provider extra for access.
In regard to the COTY discussion wouldn’t the oilers last year be basically the same thing? It’s not that unprecedented
Did y'all see that this was the first 4+ game road trip sweep since 95/96?
I said before the season started it's going to be Jets vs Red Wings in the cup final and I'm standing by that statement no matter how delusional it is haha.
My favorite moments are the NHL Draft Reactions seeing the Wings get screwed out of 1st overall pick. It must be a Detroit thing?
Did we win The Cup again last night!😅
Thx guys for mentioning what alot of these fans tend to forget. THIS TEAM WAS IN THE SAME SPOT LAST YEAR THIS TIME!!!!! ALL YOU LALONDE HATERS CAN STOP. Of course a more experienced coach has a bit more success but cmon. The players need to he held more ACCOUNTABLE for the slow start. If I remember correctly last year Larkin got checked to the neck and was out. Ras got hurt. Kane was out for sometime and the whole team got sick and went on a slide. Then folks came back and we made one of the most exciting runs ever!!! Stop acting like we have not seen good hockey. I get it but Cmon have some respect.
Can we get a t-shirt that says "I'm a troft guy" please.
Red Wings are just a delightful bag of Swedish Fish, aren't they?
MY guess is Wings go 16-8-4 to finish the season end with 97 points.
What about the Utah Sqwatch?
Love these guy slight hom……not gonna finish that I'm in the naughty club gotta watch my words
