Winged Wheel Podcast - A Detroit Red Wings Podcast


Mar 30, 2023

Derek Lalonde: Man of the People, asking what we're all thinking.

Tune in as we start by discussing Detroit's wild 7-4 win over Pittsburgh, including Newsy's "WTF is goalie interference?!" outburst, the call, and being tossed from the game, David Perron's hat trick on DeSmith, Berggren, Seider, Larkin, Walman, & others having good games, Alex Nedeljkovic getting the win, as well as the Red Wings & their current position in the 2023 NHL Draft Lottery (read: Bedard, Fantilli, & Michkov) standings (4:30). Also, some injury updates on the likes of Robby Fabbri, Ben Chiarot, Filip Zadina, Ville Husso, Simon Edvinsson, & others (17:50).

Next: the future is coming. We discuss the ELC contract signings of William Wallinder out of Rogle & whether he can factor into Detroit's defense next season, as well as Carter Mazur out of Denver & if he can be Detroit's next Darren Helm or Tyler Bertuzzi (as well as both players' amateur tryouts with the Grand Rapids Griffins in the AHL). Also, Marco Kasper is rumored to be joining them - how will this next wave of new stars change Hockeytown? Can they make the Detroit Red Wings out of camp next year (20:50)?

Finally, our next 2023 NHL Draft Prospect Profile: Calum Ritchie out of Oshawa. Tune in as we discuss the big, right-handed shooting center & whether he fits the "Steve Yzerman" type, how his skills & tools project, & whether the Red Wings might take a late 1st round look at him (38:45).

Finally, some more Detroit Red Wings news & an update on Yzerman & Team Canada/international hockey (48:50) before taking your questions during Overtime (53:00) - enjoy!
