Winged Wheel Podcast - A Detroit Red Wings Podcast

It's Moritz Seider's world, we're just living in it. Tune in as we start by recapping the first of Detroit's two wins over Alexander Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals, including goals and strong play from John Leonard, James van Riemsdyk, Elmer Soderblom, Moritz Seider, Dylan Larkin, Simon Edvinsson, and Andrew Copp, John Gibson's 7th straight win, and more from Todd McLellan's squad (4:20). Next, the Red Wings going back-to-back thanks to another goal from Leonard (filling in for Patrick Kane alongside Alex DeBrincat and Andrew Copp), Lucas Raymond (from Sandin-Pellikka and Finnie), Cam Talbot's strong game, and Moritz Seider's absolutely electric overtime game winner at Little Caesars Arena (12:55). We then take a look at Detroit's standings in the Atlantic division and the road ahead for Steve Yzerman's team (23:00). After that, we dive into the numbers behind Moritz Seider's superstar-level season, how he's surpassed even Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar in some metrics, how Simon Edvinsson has helped free up his game, and his candidacy for the Norris and Hart Trophies (28:45). We then discuss Marco Kasper's sophomore slump, as well as the Grand Rapids Griffins' AHL record-setting start the season (with Cossa, Brandsegg-Nygard, Holl, Gustafsson, and others leading the way under Dan Watson) (37:25) before jumping into NHL news (Berggren in St. Louis, Marchand, Danault and Marchment trades, & more). (48:10) All of that & lots more before we take your questions and comments in our Overtime segment (1:05:10) - enjoy!

The Detroit Red Wings have already had their best December in a decade, and the month is only halfway over... Tune in as we start by recapping Detroit's win over Ilya Sorokin and the New York Islanders, including Alex DeBrincat's heroics and league-leading goal pace, Lucas Raymond's 3 assists, Moritz Seider continuing his award-worthy season, and Axel Sandin-Pellikka's offensive skills on display as John Gibson wins his 6th straight start (4:10). Next, Dylan Larkin & Co. fall to the Utah Mammoth as Cam Talbot, Simon Edvinsson, and more Red Wings across the board struggled, and Todd McLellan's squad failed to execute without the likes of Patrick Kane (though Finnie & Grand Rapids Griffins star John Leonard linked up for a goal) (14:45). Also, the amazing pace in Hockeytown compared to previous years & what lies ahead for the rest of 2025. After that, we discuss Jonatan Berggren being lost to the St. Louis Blues via waivers, his request to Steve Yzerman to find him a fresh start, and the failure of the 2018 Red Wings Draft Class by Ken Holland & Tyler Wright (Zadina, Veleno, Berggren, etc.) (29:10). We then are joined by Prashanth Iyer to go over the ramifications of Steve Yzerman and the Detroit Red Wings not trading for Quinn Hughes, what's needed to make the most of Dylan Larkin, Alex DeBrincat, Lucas Raymond, Moritz Seider, Simon Edvinsson, Nate Danielson, Marco Kasper, Axel Sandin-Pellikka, Sebastian Cossa, Trey Augustine, & the rest of Detroit's future. Also, Prashanth's campaign for Moritz Seider to not only get Norris Trophy votes, but also Hart Trophy votes (41:10). All of that & lots more before we take your questions and comments in our Overtime segment (1:14:05) - enjoy!

The Quinn Hughes saga is over, and once again he is not joining the Detroit Red Wings. On a happier note, we open by recapping Detroit's last two games of their road trip, including a tough loss to an unreal Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers (including Simon Edvinsson scoring after suiting up unexpectedly) (5:20), before jumping into the Red Wings and their dominant win over the Connor Bedard-less Chicago Blackhawks, including Patrick Kane and Alex DeBrincat putting on a show, Emmitt Finnie benefitting from Axel Sandin-Pellikka's offensive moves, another John Gibson shutout, and lots more (8:45). After that, a discussion on DeBrincat's star season as he's been on fire alongside "Showtime" Patrick Kane and Andrew Copp, providing strong scoring support behind Dylan Larkin and Lucas Raymond on the 1st line, as well as John Gibson's recent strong streak over the past 5 games, what it could mean for the Detroit Red Wings and their playoff chances, the upcoming month of December, & plenty more (15:50). Next, Quinn Hughes being traded to the Minnesota wild for Marco Rossi, Liam Ohgren, a 2026 1st round pick, and Zeev Buium: our analysis on the deal, the risk Bill Guerin is taking, how Jim Rutherford did compared to expectations, Steve Yzerman and the Detroit Red Wings missing out on adding Quinn Hughes to Moritz Seider's side, what the equivalent deal may have been, and whether it would've been worth giving up Simon Edvinsson, Nate Danielson or Marco Kasper, Carter Bear, and maybe more in the trade (28:15). Finally, our thoughts on the Skinner for Jarry trade in Edmonton, and how this affects McDavid & Draisaitl's Cup chances (57:25).

John Gibson shutout, Quinn Hughes being linked to the Detroit Red Wings...wild time in Hockeytown! Tune in as we start by recapping Detroit's latest two wins, starting with a 4-0 victory over Quinn Hughes and the Vancouver Canucks, including John Gibson's best game in the Winged Wheel, excellent performances from Axel Sandin-Pellikka, Patrick Kane, Alex DeBrincat, James van Riemsdyk, Elmer Soderblom, J.T. Compher, Michael Rasmussen, Dylan Larkin, Andrew Copp, and more Red Wings (4:10). Next, a nail-biting 4-3 victory over Nazem Kadri and the Calgary Flames, including Gibson's performance, Simon Edvinsson's injury, Patrick Kane and Alex DeBrincat showing their mind-meld yet again, Axel Sandin-Pellikka's offensive game emerging, Raymond and Larkin, an almost goalie fight between Cooley & Gibson, & plenty more (15:10). Next, we take a look at just how well the DeBrincat-Copp-Kane line has been playing, Cat's goal pace, Kane's milestones, what it means for guys like Kasper and Danielson down the roster, and how it takes pressure off the Finnie-Larkin-Raymond line (32:25). After that, our updated reports on what we're hearing in the Quinn Hughes saga, including heightened interest from Steve Yzerman and the Detroit Red Wings, whether a potential return would include someone like Carter Bear, if Yzerman would need an assurance of an extension from Hughes & Pat Brisson, & more (39:40). All of that & lots more, including a note on Carter Bear's World Junior Championship Team Canada training camp invitation (54:05), before we take your questions and comments in our Overtime segment (57:20) - enjoy!

Is it time that Moritz Seider got more serious consideration for Norris Trophy votes...or maybe an even bigger trophy? Tune in as we begin by discussing the Detroit Red Wings and their crazy shootout loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets, including production from Dylan Larkin, Lucas Raymond, Patrick Kane, James van Riesmdyk, Alex DeBrincat, Moritz Seider, and others, a lack of goaltending from both Talbot and Merzlikins, blown leads and more from Todd McLellan's squad (4:00). Next, the Red Wings' bounceback win over the Seattle Kraken, including an all 2003 Draft Class goal from Emmitt Finnie, Nate Danielson, and Axel Sandin-Pellikka, Larkin and Danielson both returning after being hit by pucks, John Gibson hanging on for the win, and Andrew Copp, JVR, and Patrick Kane (in a classic Showtime moment called by Ken Daniels) leading the scoring charge. Also, notes on McLellan's team's offensive metrics, upcoming games, & more (16:00). We then take a look at Moritz Seider both by the eye test and the numbers this season, whether he deserves serious Norris Trophy consideration behind Cale Makar and alongside players like Morrissey, Werenski, Heiskanen, and others, how he's helped Simon Edvinsson excel, and whether MVP voting is crazy to think about (29:20). After that, Sebastian Cossa, Michael Brandsegg-Nygard, and the Grand Rapids Griffins' record start in the AHL (as well as Rudy Guimond's QMJHL accolades) (39:30), and NHL news including a Quinn Hughes update, Erik Gustafsson trade rumors and what Steve Yzerman might demand in return, and a potential longshot trade target in Phillip Danault (43:10).
