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

Captain Dylan Larkin finally opens up about the 2024-25 Red Wings season — and he's not holding back. In this episode, we break down Larkin’s honest assessment of how a lack of effort from the front office, specifically GM Steve Yzerman, drained morale in the locker room and left the team struggling to make progress without support. Did Yzerman's quiet trade deadline and roster inaction undermine the team’s playoff push? Are the players losing confidence in the vision? We get into the ripple effect of leadership silence, the cost of complacency, and what this means for the future of the Yzerplan.

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 about to miss the postseason for the ninth straight year, and with this being Episode 360, we’ve officially gone full circle. 

Like the 2016–17 team that kicked off this drought, this year’s squad is heading to the tee box—with a few extra pity points and a lot of déjà vu.

We break down what went wrong again, and why the playoff push fizzled out despite deadline moves and big expectations.

Plus:

If you’re still watching, you’re either a masochist or a fan clinging to the rebuild dream. Either way, we’re right there with you.

The Detroit Red Wings are officially out of the playoff race — and in this episode of Red Wings Rant, we’re pointing the finger at Steve Yzerman’s 2023 free agency decisions. We dig into why Vladimir Tarasenko and Justin Holl didn’t live up to expectations and how those signings may have cost the Wings a chance at postseason hockey. Meanwhile, the Montreal Canadiens just signed Ivan Demidov, continuing their rebuild with purpose and precision. We compare where Montreal is heading versus where Detroit should be, and ask the tough question: what will it take for the Red Wings to build a contender the right way?

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.
