Tune in as we begin by discussing the Red Wings’ 6-3 loss to Nikita Kucherov and the Tampa Bay Lightning, including strong play from Michael Rasmussen & J.T. Compher, poor play and turnovers after a Gibson save from Simon Edvinsson & Moritz Seider, Johansson and Bernard-Docker getting beat on defense, and more in a frustrating game for Todd McLellan’s squad.
Next, Detroit’s shootout loss to Jeremy Swayman and the Boston Bruins, including Kastelic’s mismatch fight where Moritz Seider got dropped, our thoughts on the response from Ben Chiarot but not too many other Red Wings, Dylan Larkin, Lucas Raymond, Patrick Kane, and others contributing offensively, & Detroit being too slow to pick things up in the loss. After that, Dylan Larkin and Todd McLellan’s comments about effort, care, and overthinking the game, and how that’s affecting players like Marco Kasper, Patrick Kane, Nate Danielson, Alex DeBrincat, and Emmitt Finnie.
We then take a look at the NHL & Atlantic Division standings, Steve Yzerman’s team’s December outlook, and what can be done to maintain standing in the tight playoff race – can Cam Talbot and John Gibson start providing more support in net?
After that, an update on the Detroit Red Wings prospect pipeline, including notes on Sebastian Cossa (will Yzerman call him up at some point?), Trey Augustine, Max Plante, Carter Bear, Jesse Kiiskinen, & more Hockeytown hopefuls.
All of that & lots more before we take your questions and comments in our Overtime segment – enjoy!
