Hi everybody, and welcome to  Red Wings Rant: Where tirades and impassioned pleas about your Detroit Red Wings finally have a home. 

The Red Wings have just 8 games left, are 4 points out of a playoff spot, and own the toughest remaining schedule in the NHL. After yet another soul-crushing loss, we’re here to say what everyone’s thinking: it’s not technically over... but it’s over.

In this episode, we break down why this collapse should spark bigger changes than most fans expect—especially with Detroit’s all-time worst Penalty Kill dragging the team down. We talk potential roster turnover, and why the Wings must be in the mix for impact forwards like Nikolaj Ehlers, Mitch Marner, Sam Bennett, and Brock Boeser.

We also pitch Vladislav Gavrikov as a defensive target, and react to Trey Augustine’s decision to return to MSU for another year instead of turning pro.

It’s a tough time to be a Wings fan—but this is the Rant. Let’s get into it.

Hi everybody, and welcome to  Red Wings Rant: Where tirades and impassioned pleas about your Detroit Red Wings finally have a home. 

The Red Wings are in a tailspin, dropping six straight and making no major moves at the trade deadline to shake things up. So… is the season over?

Should the Wings ride it out with their veterans and hope for a miracle, or is it time to call up the kids and see if a prospect-heavy lineup can bring some energy—and maybe even sneak into the playoffs? We break down Detroit’s options for the final stretch, what this slump means for the Yzerplan, and whether there’s any hope left for 2024. Tune in!

Hi everybody, and welcome to  Red Wings Rant: Where tirades and impassioned pleas about your Detroit Red Wings finally have a home. 

With the NHL Trade Deadline just days away, the Detroit Red Wings are coming off tough losses to the Blue Jackets and Hurricanes. Do these setbacks change how you feel about the team buying at the deadline? We’ll break down Detroit’s playoff hopes, their brutal remaining schedule, and what Carter Mazur’s call-up could mean for the final stretch. Did the Wings’ decision to retain salary in a trade for Tampa Bay hint at Steve Yzerman’s reluctance to make a big move? Let’s discuss the Red Wings’ path forward in our final episode before the deadline!

Hi everybody, and welcome to  Red Wings Rant: Where tirades and impassioned pleas about your Detroit Red Wings finally have a home. 

In this explosive episode of Red Wings Rant, we kick things off by celebrating Patrick Kane’s sensational overtime winner over the Anaheim Ducks—a moment of brilliance that lit up the ice. But while Kane’s heroics spark celebration, we can’t ignore the bitter déjà vu: last year, despite an easy remaining schedule, our team fell short of the playoffs, thanks in no small part to Yzerman’s failure to upgrade at the deadline. 

Fast forward to now, and we face the most grueling remaining schedule in recent memory. With rumors swirling about blockbuster moves involving Elias Pettersson, Mikko Rantanen, Seth Jones, and Erik Karlsson, the question is burning hotter than ever: can the Red Wings finally make the splash that this season demands, or are we doomed to repeat history? Buckle up for a deep dive into the highs, lows, and tough calls that lie ahead.

Hi everybody, and welcome to  Red Wings Rant: Where tirades and impassioned pleas about your Detroit Red Wings finally have a home. 

The Red Wings keep piling up wins, but does that mean they’re a good team even when they’re not playing well? We break down Detroit’s successful West Coast trip, Albert Johansson’s impressive defense against Connor McDavid, Elmer Soderblom’s point streak, Alex DeBrincat’s two-goal night vs. Vancouver, Dylan Larkin’s resurgence post-Todd McLellan, and Lucas Raymond’s consistent excellence.

With one more game against Tampa before the Four Nations Face-Off break, the trade deadline looms just eight games away. The Wings still struggle with 5-on-5 puck possession—who can help? We also dive into the newly adjusted salary cap and what it means for Detroit’s deadline strategy, making ‘unmovable’ contracts more attainable.

Tune in for all that and more on this episode of Red Wings Rant! 🚨🎙️

Steve Yzerman’s draft picks are starting to pay off for the Red Wings! Lucas Raymond continues to shine, Marco Kasper is looking like a future star, and Elmer Söderblom’s call-up is going even better than expected. We’ll break down how these young players are proving Yzerman’s long-term vision is working.

Meanwhile, out west, Jim Rutherford’s comments about the Vancouver Canucks signal major trouble ahead. With Elias Pettersson and J.T. Miller’s futures up in the air, there doesn’t seem to be a good trade solution for Vancouver—meaning they’re almost guaranteed to lose any deal they make. Could this be a golden opportunity for the Red Wings? We’ll discuss all this and more in the latest episode of Red Wings Rant!
