Mike wonders if Maple Leafs C Auston Matthews could get dealt to the Red Wings because of backlash from fans over his White House visit.

Kenny provided an absurd stat of how many games the Red Wings have won in March over the last few years. They gave their belief levels in Detroit to turn things around before Valenti offered a trade target for Steve Yzerman.

On today's edition of the show, Mike and Rico began with their thoughts on some of the new rules for the UFL and which of them they'd like the NFL to adopt. They took this topic up until the second hour, where they had a conversation on how bad the Red Wings have been in March, how confident they are in them turning this around, and Valenti's trade target for Steve Yzerman. The guys spent the third and final hours discussing a multitude of topics, one of them being the unaffordability crisis in sports, partially driven by Fanatics.

The Olympic break is over. The NHL trade freeze is lifted. And the Detroit Red Wings are back to work. In this episode of Red Wings Rant, we reset the table on everything: The latest trade rumors involving Elias Pettersson, Robert Thomas, Jordan Kyrou and Justin Faulk • Why Detroit still desperately needs top-six scoring and legitimate defensive help • How bad the 5-on-5 offense really is — and whether Steve Yzerman has to act We also preview the return to play: February 26 – at Ottawa Senators February 28 – at Carolina Hurricanes Why starting with a win matters. Why Simon Edvinsson's return is massive. Why Moritz Seider and Lucas Raymond benefiting from rest could swing momentum. And of course — Dylan Larkin. Larkin returns a gold medalist after Team USA's first Olympic gold in 46 years. We break down: How USA beat Canada in overtime • The goaltending dominance of Connor Hellebuyck • The 3-on-3 OT shift that exposed McDavid, MacKinnon and Makar • Why this was the deepest and most talented Team USA roster ever assembled But we also address the controversy surrounding postgame locker room politics and why moments like this should belong to players — not politicians. This is a reset episode. For the Red Wings. For the trade deadline. For Hockeytown.   #LGRW #DetroitRedWings #NHLPlayoffs #AtlanticDivision #MaxBultman   JOIN THE DISCORD: https://discord.gg/rd2RUDkzuS Let's have fun! Sponsored by Draft Kings!

The Detroit Red Wings enter the Olympic break sitting in a playoff position — but is it real, sustainable, and enough? On this episode of Red Alert, Joe Chapp and Cindy Berry break down where the Red Wings truly stand at the midpoint of the season and why this Olympic pause may have arrived at the perfect time. We dive into Detroit's brutal first-half schedule, the fatigue factor, and how playing one of the most congested slates in the NHL could actually benefit the Wings down the stretch. With fewer back-to-backs ahead and a lighter second-half load, the pressure now shifts to execution, health, and consistency — especially with key players resting while others compete on the Olympic stage. The conversation turns heated as we examine Steve Yzerman's trade deadline strategy, why GMs are waiting out the Olympic freeze, and which roster needs could define Detroit's playoff fate. We also discuss coaching accountability under Todd McLellan, the importance of system discipline in March hockey, and why consistency — not flash — may be the Red Wings' greatest strength. Plus, we react to the shifting regional sports network landscape, what it means for Red Wings fans trying to watch games, and why accessibility could determine the future growth of hockey in Detroit and beyond. Is this team built to survive March? Are the Wings ahead of schedule — or right on it? And how much will the Olympic break truly change the playoff race? All that and more on this jam-packed Olympic Break edition of the Red Alert Podcast. Subscribe, rate, and join the debate — because the second half starts now.

Valenti and Rico opened the final hour talking about Rangers' LW Artemi Panarin, who is likely to get traded, and if Steve Yzerman should try to get involved in the sweepstakes. The guys heard from the people for the final time before being joined by Wojo and Riger to round out the show.

Simon Edvinsson is out through the Olympic break — and the Red Wings just got a real test. Detroit followed up an 8-1-1 stretch with a tight, frustrating 3–1 loss to the Los Angeles Kings, a team built to choke off offense and win on the margins. The result wasn't panic-worthy — but it was revealing. We break down what Edvinsson's injury actually changes, why the Kings were able to make Detroit look sloppy without dominating play, and how two defensive lapses ultimately decided the game. We also dig into why breaking up the Albert Johansson–Jacob Bernard-Docker pairing mattered, and what that tells us about blue-line certainty heading toward the trade deadline. Using insight from Max Bultman, plus postgame comments from Todd McLellan, we separate urgency from execution and ask the bigger question: Does this stretch clarify what Steve Yzerman needs to add — or confirm patience is still the right play? We also cover: Why LA's defensive structure flatlined Detroit's offense Power-play struggles and five-on-five creation concerns John Gibson's continued grip on the starting net What the Kings, Capitals, and Avalanche games reveal about playoff readiness This wasn't a bad loss. It was a measuring-stick game — and the deadline picture just came into focus.   JOIN THE DISCORD: https://discord.gg/rd2RUDkzuS Let's have fun! Sponsored by Draft Kings!

On this episode of Red Alert, Joe Chapp and Cindy Berry break down Detroit's recent run, the growing signs of real consistency, and why this stretch before the Olympic break could define the season. We dive into the Wings' playoff odds, five-on-five concerns, and what still needs to improve despite their offensive momentum. Then the focus shifts to the trade deadline and Steve Yzerman. Is Detroit truly one move away? We discuss the difference between tinkering vs. overhauling, what type of player actually fits the Wings' long-term vision, and why rentals don't make sense for this roster. From center depth to two-way forwards, we lay out what Yzerman is likely targeting — and what he won't sacrifice. We close with a powerful reflection on Sergei Fedorov as his iconic No. 91 rises to the rafters. From his impact on championships to the cultural weight of the Winged Wheel, we discuss why honoring Fedorov now mattered — and what his legacy means for today's locker room. This is a must-listen episode for Red Wings fans tracking the playoff push, the trade deadline, and the history that still shapes Hockeytown today.

A day that this Detroit Red Wings podcast thought would never come: Sergei Fedorov's 91 jersey retirement ceremony at Little Caesars Arena.

(12:30) - Red Wings Beat Carolina Hurricanes The Hockeytown team follows up the jersey retirement with a chaotic win over the Hurricanes thanks to even more key play from James van Riesmdyk (assists from Moritz Seider and Lucas Raymond on the power play). Alex DeBrincat continues to be clutch, as does Patrick Kane's vision. John Gibson stood tall as Andrew Copp scored an electric (and controversial) overtime winner. (20:15) - Boston Beatdown We recap Detroit's tough loss to the Bruins, despite Cam Talbot playing a solid game. (29:20) - Dylan Larkin and Axel Sandin-Pellikka Performance Discussion Breaking down some concerning trends across Todd McLellan's lineup as the season hits its stride, plus some bright spots.

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. RED WINGS BEAT SENATORS (4:45) Detroit wins ugly but wins nonetheless, outshot 37-21 but getting stellar goaltending from John Gibson and timely scoring. LINEUP CHANGES (13:55) New line combinations looked disjointed but Todd McLellan's roster shakeup continues taking shape. DANIELSON TO GRAND RAPIDS (21:45) Nate Danielson heads back to the Griffins while John Leonard remains with the big club. TRADE RUMORS DISCUSSION (26:20) Early deadline rumblings around the league and potential fits for Steve Yzerman's roster as trade season heats up - is Rasmus Andersson a fit to help Sandin-Pellikka on the right? WORLD JUNIORS RECAP (44:55) Updates on Red Wings prospects competing at the tournament, with Eddie Genborg winning gold with Sweden. GRIFFINS AND OLYMPICS NEWS (50:40) Grand Rapids updates as Shai Buium returns to action plus Tralmaks Olympic roster news.

We then jump into the Red Wings' 5v5 scoring questions: has the top line with Larkin, Raymond, and Finnie been stagnant? Will putting Marco Kasper in that spot solve two issues? How much has the team been relying on Patrick Kane, Alex DeBrincat, and Andrew Copp? (36:05) Next, John Gibson's redemption in net ahead of Cam Talbot and with Sebastian Cossa making waves (46:20), as well as a look at Justin Faulk as a potential trade target for Steve Yzerman and the Detroit Red Wings to bolster the blue line behind Seider, Edvinsson, Sandin-Pellikka, and Chiarot (53:20).

The 97.1 The Ticket team breaks down Quinn Hughes's post-trade comments and talk through whether or not Steve Yzerman should have made the deal for the star defenseman

The Red Wings are back in first place in the Atlantic — but the path there hasn't been clean. This week on Red Wings Rant, we break down a wildly successful West Coast road trip, including shutout wins in Vancouver and Chicago, a statement victory over the Islanders, and why the Utah Mammoth loss looks more like a fatigue-driven anomaly than a warning sign. December has quietly become Detroit's regression-to-the-mean month, with top-tier PDO, shooting percentage, and goaltending metrics finally catching up to the underlying play. But the biggest conversation looms larger than any single game. Did the Red Wings miss a once-in-a-decade opportunity by not landing Quinn Hughes? Using reporting from Max Bultman, Sean Shapiro, Elliotte Friedman, and Pierre LeBrun, we dive into what the Hughes non-trade says about Steve Yzerman's risk tolerance, the value of elite stars versus prospect depth, and whether Detroit is doing enough to capitalize on Dylan Larkin's prime years. This is the most honest Red Wings conversation yet — the good, the bad, and the uncomfortable middle. 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!

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).

The guys wonder if Quinn Hughes' comments after being traded to the Wild were directed at Red Wings GM Steve Yzerman.

Valenti and Rico take your calls and read a few ticket texts about their main topic today, surrounding Steve Yzerman/Quinn Hughes.

Mike and Rico continue their discussion on Yzerman's lack of pursuit of Quinn Hughes.

The guys began the show with some potentially cryptic comments from Quinn Hughes towards Steve Yzerman about the Red Wings not trading for him. Then, they discussed some NFL head coaches in an "In Football Today".

Valenti and Rico hear from a few more of the people on their Red Wings topic.

The guys revisit their months-long conversation about why Steve Yzerman continues to refuse to trade for a big fish.

Valenti and Rico kicked off the show with their thoughts on some comments from newest Wild defenseman Quinn Hughes that may or may not have been targeted at Steve Yzerman. They dissected said comments and heard from the people on the topic throughout the first half of the show before shifting their sights to what Jared Goff had to say earlier today on Karsch & Anderson. They put a bow on both discussions in the final hour.

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).

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).

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).

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).

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 (3:40).

Is it time to see what Sebastian Cossa can do in Detroit? Should Alex DeBrincat be on Team USA's Olympic roster? Are Pavel Mintyukov or Quinn Hughes realistic trade options for Steve Yzerman? Max Bultman of The Athletic Detroit joins us on this remote episode to discuss all of that & more! Tune in as we start by recapping the Detroit Red Wings and their split weekend, including an ugly loss to Schaefer and the Islanders, and a comeback win against Fantilli & the Columbus Blue Jackets, including: different play between John Gibson & Cam Talbot, huge games from Raymond, Seider, DeBrincat, Chiarot, & others, questionable calls on Patrick Kane & goal reviews, & lots more from Todd McLellan's squad's up and down weekend (3:30). Next, a look at the tight Atlantic division, as well as Axel Sandin-Pellikka's play, whether he would benefit from the press box or a stint with the AHL's Grand Rapids Griffins, & his development trajectory (25:35). After that, we analyze Hockeytown's goaltending, and whether calling up Sebastian Cossa is warranted to reward him for his strong play and to shake things up for John Gibson (41:55). We then make the case of Alex DeBrincat's Team USA Olympic roster chances, discuss his strong play alongside Dylan Larkin & Lucas Raymond, how he stacks up to Caufield, Tage Thompson, Kyle Connor, & others, and more (56:55). Finally, we discuss the potential trade availability of Pavel Mintyukov and where he'd slot in alongside Moritz Seider, Ben Chiarot, Axel Sandin-Pellikka, Simon Edvinsson, & the rest of the blue line, as well as shooting for the stars in a Quinn Hughes trade & which of Nate Danielson, Marco Kasper, Carter Bear, Michael Brandsegg-Nygard, Trey Augustine, & other premium pieces would have to be in play (1:02:45).
