The Red Wings reached the 20-game mark in first place in the Atlantic Division. But does the record match the reality? This week on Red Wings Rant, we break down: The Wings' best shutdown third period of the season • Todd McLellan's message on game management — and why it matters • How Detroit blew a 4–1 lead, then responded with back-to-back wins • Why the stars (Larkin, DeBrincat, Raymond, Seider) are carrying this team • The rookies bounce back: Danielson, Finnie, ASP • Cam Talbot taking the starting job by force • John Gibson's struggles and what it means for the season • Whether Detroit's early success is sustainable Plus: how the Wings compare across the NHL at the 20-game benchmark — and what comes next. Red Wings Rant: Where tirades and impassioned pleas about your Detroit Red Wings finally have a home. JOIN THE DISCORD: https://discord.gg/rd2RUDkzuS Let's have fun! Sponsored by Draft Kings!

Red Wings Rant — Episode Narrative (Nov 19) “20 Games In: First Place… and Still Flawed?” The Detroit Red Wings reached the 20-game mark in first place in the Atlantic Division — a sentence that would've sounded insane seven days ago, when this team was stuck in the mud, blowing leads, and wrestling with its identity. And the wildest part? Both versions of the Red Wings — the playoff version, and the meltdown version — showed up this week. Last Week: A Test of Consistency We said: If the Wings could take advantage of a soft stretch — Ducks, Sabres, Rangers, Kraken — they could claw back into a strong position. One week later? They did exactly that. They handled Anaheim, threw away a 4–1 lead vs Buffalo but still got a point, gutted out a win at MSG, and closed out the Kraken with a mature, structured third period — something they haven't done most of the season. That's growth. That's progress. But the path to get here still tells us a lot about the team. Game Management: The New Buzzword That Actually Matters Todd McLellan has hammered this theme all year: “Until this group figures out what's important at certain times, we're going to have those nights.” Against Buffalo? Total collapse. Against New York and Seattle? Finally, the shutdown hockey he's been begging for. The Seattle third period wasn't flashy — five shots allowed, perfect breakouts, clean faceoffs, pucks deep, smart changes. It was the most professional 20 minutes this team has played this season. This is what real playoff teams do. But the challenge now is: Can it be repeated? Stars Are Driving the Bus Larkin, DeBrincat, and Raymond are all pacing career-level seasons: Larkin: 600 points + scoring at a star level Cat: Tenacious, complete, and reliable no matter the line Raymond: Finally looking healthy — nine points in his last four And Moritz Seider is quietly playing elite two-way hockey despite a few headline-grabbing mistakes. The Rookies: High Impact, High Volatility The 2023 class stole the show early, then went quiet… …and came roaring back against Seattle: Danielson's first NHL goal Nearly another (called back) Finnie's power-play goal after Danielson set him up ASP steadying after a rough stretch These three have brought energy AND mistakes — but the energy has clearly returned to the lineup. Goaltending: The Split Is Clear Cam Talbot: +1 GSAX, making the saves Detroit needs Steady, calm, veteran presence John Gibson: 11th-worst GSAX, sub-.875 save percentage High-danger rebounds, bad-angle goals, and collapsing confidence around him Detroit's Jekyll-and-Hyde identity? It's not just game management. It's also which goalie is in the net. 20-Game Snapshot: The Good and The Questions What's working: Stars producing PK massively improved Rookies making real contributions Defensive improvements in structure Third-period closure vs Seattle In playoff position despite flaws 1st place in the division at the quarter-mark What still needs answers: Will this team ever find consistent scoring from the middle six? Can Gibson turn it around? Can they avoid the rookie wall? Will they protect leads consistently? Can they replicate the Seattle third period against real contenders? This is a good team. It might even be a playoff team. But the story for the next 62 games is simple: Are the Red Wings learning how to win? Or surviving despite themselves? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Support Alumni in Cincinnati this week: https://alumni.byu.edu/byuvscincinnati25visit: https://www.ysguys.comThis week on Y's Guys, Dave McCann and Blaine Fowler break down BYU's 44–13 win over TCU, one of the Cougars' most complete performances of the season. BYU dominated on both sides of the ball: Bear Bachmeier finished 23/33 for 296 yards with two total touchdowns; LJ Martin anchored a rejuvenated run game; and the defense held TCU to 1-for-10 on third down. A fourth-quarter Pick Six by Tanner Wall sealed the victory. The win positioned BYU at No. 12 in the CFP Rankings heading into another primetime Big 12 matchup — this time on FOX against Cincinnati.The show also highlights national storylines across the Big 12. Texas Tech, Utah, Arizona State, and Houston all tightened the race behind BYU, creating a late-season logjam near the top of the standings. With BYU at 6–1 in league play and just two games remaining (at Cincinnati and vs. UCF), the Cougars continue to control their championship pathway. Blaine's keys to beating Cincinnati include protecting the football, avoiding explosive plays, and reestablishing the run game.Guests on this week's episode include Harvey Langi, who grades BYU's linebackers and gives his Cincinnati preview, and Jim Wilson, the BYU Alumni Chair in Cincinnati, who outlines the weekend firesides, tailgates, and the chapter's service project. Later, the show welcomes Chelsea Peterson, the breakout goalkeeper who shocked the college soccer world by leading BYU to the Big 12 Championship and into the NCAA Tournament. She joins the show to relive her 11-round PK thriller against Utah State and preview BYU's matchup with UCLA.The Re-Lyte Athlete of the Week, presented by Redmond, honors Tanner Wall, whose 68-yard Pick Six against TCU was the signature play of the night. Campus Notes highlight BYU Basketball climbing to No. 9 in the AP Poll, Jane Hedengren winning the NCAA Mountain Regional by 42 seconds, and BYU Women's Volleyball battling in a crowded Big 12 race. The episode closes with the Bo Schembechler Inspirational Quote of the Week and a preview of next week's special anniversary appearance by Brandon Doman. Hosted on Acast.
