Seconds away from some small but maintained hope, but it fell apart for the Red Wings across two games in an instant... (00:00)

Tune in as we start by discussing Detroit's heartbreaking loss to the St. Louis Blues as Cam Talbot and J.T. Compher could not hold off the late comeback, including a strong game from Binnington, Larkin, Seider, Kane, & Co. struggling, & more as Todd McLellan's squad's hopes are fading (5:35). We then discuss whether this is it for the Detroit Red Wings playoff hopes, barring another insane Lucas Raymond run like last season, what to make of this team, and a discussion on Steve Yzerman's offseason motivations whether or not the playoffs returned to Hockeytown (13:25).

We continue the discussion with a hypothetical about whether adding defensemen to help Seider, Edvinsson, & Co. or forwards alongside DeBrincat and Raymond would be more beneficial (35:10) before getting into the big Detroit Red Wings pipeline news: Trey Augustine is returning to the Michigan State Spartans to play NCAA hockey for another season. What this means for the Grand Rapids Griffins, Sebastian Cossa, Gylander, Lyon, Talbot, Mrazek, & more (42:55).

Next, NHL news including Alexander Ovechkin's goal chase and the new NHL TV deal with Rogers () before getting into our 2025 NHL Entry Draft Prospect Profile on Anton Frondell: can he challenge Misa, Hagens, Martone, & other top prospects in this class? (54:15)

All of that and lots more before we take your questions and comments in our Overtime segment (1:00:50) - enjoy!
