The Detroit Red Wings have been nothing short of a rollercoaster. Tune in as we start by analyzing the terrible 7-2 loss by the Red Wings on Long Island to Matthew Schaefer and the Islanders, including tough games from Rasmussen, Edvinsson, Johansson, and plenty more from Todd McLellan's squad, the Cizikas cross-check, Larkin & Finnie continuing to mesh, Berggren & Compher doing what they could, & more as Detroit struggles without Patrick Kane & with Lucas Raymond still hurt (4:50). Next, the chaotic comeback win over Binnington and the St. Louis Blues in Hockeytown, including Berggren & Compher providing the pulse, McLellan's pivotal timeout, Finnie's continued surge and Larkin's stolen assist, Alex DeBrincat breaking his goal drought, Simon Edvinsson redeeming himself, Moritz Seider and Simon Edvinsson playing together as Sandin-Pellikka is moved around, Brandsegg-Nygard not playing much, a long road trip ahead, & more (17:15).  We're then joined by Prashanth Iyer, host of Expected by Whom & resident analytics expert to talk Detroit Red Wings by the numbers, what the special teams say about Yzerman's team's future, how Emmitt Finnie & Co. have changed the game, playoff hopes, Larkin's surge, & more (33:00).

Tune in as we open by discussing the loss in which J.T. Compher & Emmitt Finnie (from Dylan Larkin) scored while the rest of the Detroit Red Wings didn't do much else, as the absence of Patrick Kane and Lucas Raymond being injured disrupted the forward group, John Gibson didn't stand out, the penalties and errors from the best players in Edvinsson and Seider down to the bottom of the lineup in Rasmussen and Berggren all led to a loss to Colten Ellis, a rookie goalie making his NHL debut (4:15). We then discuss Todd McLellan's difficult spot with the forwards, as two key injuries means a lack of solid lines to utilize, how the depth players aren't seizing their opportunities, DeBrincat and Brandsegg-Nygard aren't offering scoring firepower, and what Steve Yzerman can do to help fix the issue (14:25). After that, Dylan Larkin's impressive start to the season (alongside Emmitt Finnie) & if it's a sign of new heights (30:15), Carter Mazur's hot start and Nate Danielson's path back (33:30), more on the Gustafsson, Holl, Hamonic trade rumors and what Steve Yzerman may do there (36:10), Max Plante's dominance in the NCAA (37:55), whether Michael Brandsegg-Nygard could benefit from joining Carter Mazer, Amadeus Lombardi, and soon Nate Danielson with the Grand Rapids Griffins in the AHL, or if he's better to stick it out in Hockeytown (39:35), and what to make of Alex DeBrincat's goalless streak to start the season (44:30).

In this Summer Coolers edition of NHL Wraparound, hosts Neil Smith and Vic Morren examine the Detroit Red Wings—a franchise inching toward contention but still battling to break through.It's been nine consecutive seasons without a playoff berth in Hockeytown. The last time the Red Wings won a playoff series? Back in 2013.Now, under Steve Yzerman's front office leadership, Detroit hopes that one major offseason swing—a trade for John Gibson—can stabilize their goaltending and finally push them over the edge.Will it be enough?IN THIS EPISODE:[00:00] Red Wings: A decade of frustration[00:36] Power play high, penalty kill worst in the league[01:00] John Gibson acquisition: a franchise-altering gamble?[02:00] Goaltending swap: Gibson for Mrazek[02:45] Other offseason additions: JVR, Appleton, Hamonic[03:50] Prospect pool preview: Danielson, Mazur, Cossa[04:30] Offensive core: DeBrincat, Larkin, Raymond, Kane[05:15] Is there enough depth if someone goes down?[06:00] Playoff competition: Too many contenders, too few spotsKEY TAKEAWAYS:John Gibson is the swing piece. If he returns to form, Detroit may finally have the goaltending they've lacked for years. If not, the playoff drought could hit a full decade.Power play success masked penalty kill disaster. Detroit ranked 4th in PP% last year—but dead last (32nd) in PK%, and had just 2 shorthanded goals.Yzerman's offseason was conservative. Outside of the Gibson trade, additions like James van Riemsdyk, Mason Appleton, and Travis Hamonic won't move the needle significantly.Detroit's window is tightening. With the East getting deeper (Montreal, Ottawa, Columbus, Buffalo all fighting), the margin for error is razor thin.Offensive leaders like Dylan Larkin, DeBrincat, Lucas Raymond, and Patrick Kane must stay healthy—this team can't afford to lose top-end scoring.FINAL VERDICT:Detroit made one major move this offseason—and if John Gibson plays like the All-Star he once was, it could be a franchise-defining deal. But with penalty-kill woes, aging secondary scoring, and intense wild card competition, the Red Wings remain a bubble team in a crowded East.Is year 10 of the rebuild the one that finally breaks the curse—or does the streak stretch into double digits?RESOURCE LINKS:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgBj1LV0-DMfBhcRPSJZLjAX (Twitter): https://twitter.com/NHLWraparoundNeil Smith: https://twitter.com/NYCNeilVic Morren: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vic-morren-7038737/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nhlwraparound/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nhlwraparoundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61555451139787HASHTAGS:#DetroitRedWings #NHLWraparound #SummerCoolers #JohnGibson #PetrMrazek #JamesvanRiemsdyk #MasonAppleton #WilliamLagesson #AlbertJohansson #JonatanBerggren #ElmerSoderblom #SteveYzerman #VladimirTarasenko #AlexLyon #PatVerbeek #LucasRaymond #AlexDebrincat #DylanLarkin

(7:15) Next, we compare where Steve Yzerman's Detroit Red Wings are relative to Suzuki, Caufield, Hutson and the Montreal Canadiens, Tkachuk, Stutzle and the Ottawa Senators, and Dahlin's Buffalo Sabres.
