The Detroit Red Wings season is underway and it has already been a bit of a rollercoaster...

Tune in as we open by discussing Todd McLellan's squad's 5-1 loss to Lane Hutson and the Montreal Canadiens in their home opener, including Dylan Larkin opening scoring from Patrick Kane and Moritz Seider, Johansson and Hamonic's awful game, John Gibson getting pulled, how Sandin-Pellikka, Brandsegg-Nygard, and Finnie fared, Todd McLellan's message to Dylan Larkin, Lucas Raymond, Moritz Seider, Michael Rasmussen, and the rest of the Detroit Red Wings to wake them up, and more as the Centennial jersey debut finished in Hockeytown boos (4:10).

After that, the Detroit Red Wings' huge turnaround against Matthews and the Toronto Maple Leafs: Patrick Kane and Alex DeBrincat lighting it up, Lucas Raymond scoring goal #100, Emmitt Finnie's 1st NHL point, Simon Edvinsson mixing it up, & lots more (18:45).

Next, we assess how the kids are doing and whether ASP, MBN, and Finnie will hold onto their spots, and how Nate Danielson, Carter Mazur, Amadeus Lombardi, and other young guns may factor in pushing players like Berggren, Soderblom, Rasmussen, & others (33:30).

Also, Jacob Bernard-Docker's play next to Albert Johansson, Detroit's big players playing small, & NHL news with Tyler Myers sticking Connor McDavid & more NHL scheduling woes (39:50), & lots more before we take your questions and comments in our Overtime segment (52:20) - enjoy!
