This Detroit Red Wings podcast recaps Monday’s 4-2 win over Ottawa, a game Detroit stole despite being outplayed. Also, Detroit Red Wings news and analysis on Nate Danielson’s assignment to Grand Rapids, plus early NHL trade deadline rumblings.
The Red Wings escaped Ottawa with two crucial Atlantic Division points thanks to John Gibson’s stellar 34-save performance and opportunistic scoring from Andrew Copp, Dylan Larkin, James van Riemsdyk, and Lucas Raymond’s sick goal. While Detroit looked disjointed with their new line combinations, they capitalized when it mattered most against Ottawa’s struggling goaltending. Gibson continues proving he can steal games even when the team doesn’t play well in front of him, answering questions about his ability to perform under pressure. Copp’s breakaway goal showcased his remarkable turnaround from early season struggles, while JVR continued to excel, his veteran presence in front of the net set up Larkin’s 22nd goal of the season on a beautiful power play sequence.

First! Best feeling coming directly to YouTube and finding this
Is Carter Mazur ever going to be healthy 😭
I really hope Yzerman trades for Philip Broberg. He would be PERFECT for this team’s blue line.
4th comment, not bad…. 🙂
Must feel weird having a podcast for a winning team…? It is tough to refrain from being overly optimistic.
Give us that Thick David! 😂
I picture Thick David looking exactly like McDavid, except he has the body and hands of Tom Cruise playing Les Grossman in Tropic Thunder 😂
Canada left Pickford which was a bad move. The consolation of Canada losing was seeing Dale Hunter lose. Goof!
Logan Stanley is an yzerman guy.
6'7 235 lhd
Last year of his deal in winnipeg. Brady Tkachuk face punches/60 is off the charts too.
How much are we trusting detroits pro scouts?
No short term help. No giving up 1st round picks.
Everything wide open from there. This team is still in a building stage, dont be giving up top assets.
I have never heard Evan laugh so hard!! “Fik David” – bwahaha!
Will be interesting to see. As you guys mentioned, the new Larkin line (Line 1?) will have its work cut out for them on matchups, but now there's a good amount of talent on all three of the other lines. With the Wings' youth, size and speed, they should be a difficult team to face (offensively), especially on lines 2-4. We'll see… LGRW!
wtf is so good about Rasmus Andersson? lol dude went -38 last Season … we're gonna pay him more than Seider F that
Ryan: "Thick David is so big, he's taking up all this space"
I think we know the drill by now. Yzerman is highly unlikely to make a significant trade between now and the deadline.
32:32 Thick David
Raymond doesn’t shoot because he feels he has to feed Larkin
ThickDavid holy shit
Mattias Samuelsson could be a good fit in Detroit.
It’s “yenborg,” no g
