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).

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).

Hi everybody, and welcome to Red Wings Rant: Where tirades and impassioned pleas about your Detroit Red Wings finally have a home. Matt and Mike are back from Little Caesars Arena — and the Detroit Red Wings are officially on a roll. After taking down the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers 4-1, the Wings have now strung together three straight wins to move to 3-1-0. The guys break down what it was like inside the arena, who passed the eyeball test (spoiler: Axel Sandin-Pellikka looked like a seasoned pro), and how Todd McLellan's influence is already showing up in the details. We'll talk about Mason Appleton's incredible two-goal night, Dylan Larkin's quietly dominant start, and how Patrick Kane and Alex DeBrincat keep piling on the points. Plus, we'll spotlight Detroit's penalty kill — now sitting near 90% — looking heavier, smarter, and more responsible than it's been in years. Finally, we'll look ahead to the next test: Tampa Bay, Edmonton, and Buffalo. Are the Red Wings for real, or is this just an early-season flash? Matt and Mike break it all down from rinkside.
