Welcome to the newest edition of WIIM Radio! Steve Yzerman returned, just like we always knew would happen and never doubted, even for a second. Joining me for this episode was Prashanth and JJ. Happy Leafs Elimination Day!: It was the loss that launched 1,000 memes. Toronto couldn’t win a game 7 (again), and the knives are out for Mike Babcock. Playoff Predictions (Revamped): Now that most people’s brackets are busted, what do we think is going to happen the rest of the way in the battle for Lord Stanley’s Cup? You’re definitely going to want to make major bets using this information because we have all been completely right so far. The Return - First Reactions: Steve Yzerman is home where he belongs. How did we feel when we heard the news? How Does This Change The Plan?: How does the return of Yzerman change things going forward for Detroit? Or does it? The Press Conference: On the day his hiring was announced, Yzerman answered some questions, Chris Ilitch talked entirely too much, and Ken Holland looked emotional. We break down the biggest moments from the press conference, as well as take a moment to look at Holland’s legacy. But How Does This Affect The Leafs Blashill?” We didn’t do a mailbag for this episode, but former WIIM Radio host Jeff had a question about the future relationship between coach Jeff Blashill and Yzerman.   You can listen via the embedded player above or download directly from our Blogtalk Radio page. You can also find us on your favorite podcast streaming apps. For a million dollars, I’ll fly to your house and sing it to you personally. As always, WIIM Radio is rated R for excessive schadenfreude and a lack of Sigmund Freud. 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): Red Wing Centric Talk: (00:00 - 28:00) Our guest Max Bultman joins us for the entire podcast. He is the Red Wings beat writer for The Athletic Detroit. We talk about the Red Wings, but if you’re a fan of another team, there’s a lot in here that applies to being a beat writer in general. NHL Playoffs: (28:00 - 53:25) We transition to talking about the latest in the NHL playoffs (as of about 8pm Saturday evening.) At the end of this segment, we ask a fan question about Filip Zadina. Lott or Not: (53:25 - END) It’s been a while since we had a game, so Peter made up a game for Jay and Max. There’s even some new “game time” intro music.

Welcome to our last WIIM Radio Mailbag of the 2018-19 regular season. We took a bit of a hiatus with not much to talk about, but as the Wings finish out the season strong, we’ll have lots to get into. Here’s a rundown of topics: The Tank vs. The Culture: we’ll try not to dwell on this argument too long, since the fanbase has been doing it for weeks now, but it IS the hottest topic in Wings land and it will give us an opportunity to gush over how the Wings are being led by a bunch of wonderful children. The Future and the Rebuild: Seems only natural to transition into discussions of next season and beyond for where the Wings stand. Probably a good time to talk the Blashill extension too. Playoff Predictions: We still don’t know who’s all making the playoffs, but I’m not waiting on all those other jerk teams to make guesses on what’s going to happen in the postseason. You’ll get the stone cold locks straight from us. Reader Questions: Your favorite segment and mine - you ask the best questions and we give you at least the third-best answers.   We’ll be recording late this evening, so get your questions in and be ready for the download to be available early tomorrow morning.

Here’s what Peter and Jay have for you this time (all time locations are without the opening ad): Playoff Predictions: (00:00 - 30:12) Even though the playoff picture is not finalized, we make our best guesses about how the NHL postseason will play out. Interview: (30:12 - 1:03:08) Joining us for a second time is hockey journalist Scott Cullen. We talk about the playoff picture, going from TSN to The Athletic and NHL.com, and what he would want to write about if he couldn’t write about hockey. Pick Em!: (1:03:08 - END) We discuss how a different playoff format would work this season. Spoiler: It would be better!   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.
