Welcome to the newest WIIM Radio mailbag! We’re out of the All-Star Break and into the final...err... “half” of the season now and the Red Wings still aren’t in a playoff position, but we’ve got plenty to discuss about that. Here’s a rundown of the topics we’ll get into: How to Finish Out the Season: With the trade deadline mere weeks away and the Wings not looking like they’re going to magically crawl into contention prior to February 25th, what do we want to see out of this team in the short run to March, the medium run to April, and the longer run to 2019-20 and beyond? We’ll talk about how we’d like to see the roster con/destructed from here on out and what we want to see out of the kids, the vets, and the front office. Looking Around the League: Auston Matthews just got a big contract that’s surprisingly not-at-all team friendly and that’s going to set the market for a bunch of things to happen going forward. Some of them might bring us joy, even. Elsewhere, the West is bad, The Hawks getting Hughes would be infuriating, and we’ll take a quick gander at who our contenders and pretenders are as we near the postseason. Extra Rant Time: I don’t know what we’re going to use this for, but rest-assured I’ll probably be ranting at some point. Reader Questions: Here’s the good part - you ask your questions in the comments below and we’ll go over each one that hasn’t already been answered. I know you folks always come up with such great ones for these episodes so do us proud! Predictions! The Wings will be playing a few more games in the coming week and us resident geniuses will tell you EXACTLY how they’re going to go. Learn more about your ad choices.

Here’s what Peter and Jay have for you this time (all time locations are without the opening ad): Hey Now, You’re An All-Star: (00:00 - 11:35) The All-Star game has come and gone, and we even watched some of it. Award Frontrunners: (11:35 - 20:42) After the All-Star break, we take a quick look at the award picture. Interview: (20:42 - 58:48) We talked to Cat Silverman about goaltending, Arizona, and the Pierre McGuire - Kendall Coyne interaction. Red Kelly’s Number Retirement: (58:48 - END) The Red Wings retired the number of Red Kelly on Friday night. We talk a little about that and broach the topic of two Russian Red Wings and their number retirement chances.   If you are using a podcast app, you can find both this podcast and WIIM Radio (our podcast devoted to the Red Wings) in the same channel - Winging it in Motown.

Here’s what Peter and Jay have for you this time (all time locations are without the opening ad): Beware the Isles in March: (00:00 - 21:26) The Islanders are top of the Metro division, which nobody was expecting. Interview: (21:26 - 1:01:06) For this episode we talked to Keith Gave, the author of The Russian Five. We talked about his involvement in the story, how it was to cover the tragic limo crash after the 1997 Cup Finals win, and much more. Keith also gave us an update on where to see the documentary. You can find his book here if you don’t already have it. Bring me Scheifele’s Head!: (1:01:06 - 1:06:17) Ryan Johansen swung his stick like some type of very long sword at the head/neck of Mark Scheifele. DOPS gave him a 2 game suspension, which we both feel is way too short. Oh Well, Whatever, Nevermind: (1:06:17 - End) Jay couldn’t let this episode end without his thoughts on the newly-revealed All-Star jerseys. Here is the link to our merchandise store.

All-Star: (11:56 - 26:59) The All Star rosters were announced, along with a new twist that allows fans to vote for one more player for each division. We talk about why the All Star game needs to be re-imagined. Interview: (26:59 - 1:10:54) We talk to Ryan Stimson, who has a new book out called Tape to Space: Redefining Modern Hockey Tactics. We talked a little about Buffalo, since Ryan covers them for The Athletic Buffalo, then talk a lot about his new book.

Welcome to our latest edition of WIIM Radio! We’ve got me, JJ, and Jay around to talk all things Wings. Here’s what we got up to: Red Wings Surprises - What have been the biggest positive and negative surprises this season for Detroit? (Also, I misspoke about quality starts. I meant to say a start where the goalie’s sv% is above league average, not their personal average). Red & White is the Season’s Fashion: Rumors of a new third jersey! The Wings have a classic, but have also had success going with alternates in the past. What could come of this rumor? Out With the Old, In With the New: Detroit has four prospects playing at the World Juniors and should have a bigger role than we’re used to seeing. How much does this change our interest in the tournament and what are we looking forward to out of Veleno, McIsaac, Setkov, and Zadina? Red Wings as a Holiday Movie: Each of us compare the Red Wings season so far to the plot of a treasured holiday movie. Jay has a song. Around the World in One Night: What are the storylines that are most interesting to you outside of Detroit? I want to hear this in the comments as well. We’ll read off the best answers and give you credit for being the geniuses that you are here. Positivity Corner: It’s more like a whole room by now. Reader Questions: Our favorite part of each episode - we’ll open the floor to you, the readers and will give up the answers to ALL of your pressing questions (except the ones that are already covered by the time we get to this part). Anything goes. Looking ahead: Crystal ball time. We’ll give you the take-it-to-Vegas odds on the next two weeks for the Wings.
