Peter talks to our first ever guest Dan Saraceni from Lighthouse Hockey about what this means for the team going forward.

Welcome to another WIIM Radio mailbag! We’ll be recording a new episode tonight with the plan of having it out tomorrow morning for your listening pleasure just prior to the Calgary game as the Wings continue their Western Canada road trip. Here’s a list of topics we’ll get into: The Wings’ Play of Late - We kinda missed the bulk of the big losing streak and the Wings have looked pretty decent coming out of that. We’ll go over the reasons and thoughts behind it. The Return of AA - Yay! We don’t have to guess anymore about when the guy’s going to re-sign and how the team will make room. Instead we’ll talk about how he’s fitting into the lineup. Blashill’s Blender - The Wings’ coach has made waves lately talking about retiring the line blender only to have that last less than a game and now not even living up to his promise of starting games with consistent lines. Is it really all bad though? Around the League - A three-team blockbuster just went down and it impacts our division. Who won the Duchene deal? Elsewhere, what are the surprise teams a month into the NHL season? Positivity Corner - We’ll take a break to be nice about stuff. Reader Questions - Your favorite section and mine.. you ask us the great questions we’re used to and we’ll give you the stellar answers you’ve come to expect. The burrito questions last time were good. I expect similar quality. Looking ahead - The Wings will be finishing up in Calgary and then finish the month with 8 of 9 games at home. We’ll gaze into our crystal ball and let you know how things will play out. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Here’s what Peter and Jay have for you this time (all time locations are without the opening ad): Around the League: (00:00 - 27:22) We use a listener question as a jumping off point to talking about Arizona, Vegas, who will finish in the NHL basement, and who we think will be in the Stanley Cup Finals. Interview - Craig Custance: (27:22 - 1:19:22) We had planned for about 30 minutes, but the discussion went so well that it ended up being a little over 50 minutes. We mainly talked about his book “Behind the Bench,” but we talked a little NHL, as well as The Athletic. Cross Checks and Wrap Up: (1:19:22- End) Jay and I debut a new segment called Cross Checks, and it doesn’t quite go as planned.
