Wing Sauce

Episode 136

The Wings take another 5 out of a possible 8 points on their road trip this past week. The most impressive of those games being the one in Tampa. This was Head Coach Derek Lalonde’s first time being back in Tampa as his new squad faced his former team and came out with a W. 

Even with all of the injuries (7 total), they continue to find a way to be competitive most nights. If this team gets healthy, they could make some noise in the race for the playoffs! All of this is pretty exciting considering the Red Wings have the 8th hardest schedule in the NHL. Not too bad for a young team that seems to be trending in the right direction!

The Red Wings had a rock start with their home stretch, only able to capture 1 point over the long week. Connor and Dustin break down the different games as well as the depth again as we see Tyler Bertuzzi out for the new 6-8 weeks. The Wings looks to capture a win and a few points this week as they travel south to take on Blue Jackets, Stars, Lightning, and Panthers. The Blue Jackets is a must win game with the remaining three times being top teams in the league. 
The boys give a shout out to Paul Cotter and his homecoming this year against the Wings. He has been tearing it up for Vegas this season and looks to be having fun doing it.

HOT WINGS!! Currently on a 4-game heater, the Wings look to extend this win streak as they play the next 3 games this week at home against Toronto, Buffalo, and Vegas. 

The power play has looked great, the PK has improved to 6th in the league, Hronek just tied the franchise goal streak for defensemen, and Husso has played like he deserves Vezina consideration! The Wings are looking like a playoff team right now, and Connor brought up the fact that when teams are in the playoff picture after Thanksgiving, they typically stay 75% of the time. Pretty exciting to see the Yzerplan unfold before our eyes!!

Episode 133

The Wings came back from their road trip with 5 out of 8 possible points, which isn’t too shabby for a middle-of-the-pack team that has been riddled with injury. A couple of players have been surprising so far this year: Rasmussen and Hronek. The past couple seasons, the Wing Sauce guys have been pretty critical of these two, but they have been proving us wrong! 

This week kicks off a 5-game home stand to end the month. The first two games are against some teams that have been struggling this year (Nashville and Arizona). Hopefully with the injuries on the mend and more consistency in scoring, the Wings can keep climbing up the ranks!

Episode 132

Welp… the wings started the week off hot with an OT win in NY, but the wheels fell off for the remainder of the week. Playing the Rangers again at home, they were all tied up heading into the 3rd. This ending left a different taste in our mouths as the Wings allowed SIX goals in 20 minutes for an 8-2 loss. Embarrassing, pathetic, ridiculous - whatever you want to call it. 

Wings are on their first west coast trip of the year where they’ve already dropped one game to the Kings. The good news is that their next three games are against teams that are well below .500. This ought to help them bounce back from their 1-2-1 week. Dustin and Tyler are predicting a 3-0 week for Detroit! We’ll be checking in next week to see how our predictions did along with the team.

Episode 131

Although the Wings have struggled of late, it seems as if they were able to string together some wins - and against good teams! Kubalik is looking like the best off-season acquisition with 14 points in 11 games (tied for the team lead with Dylan Larkin). Nedeljkovic has not looked good so far this season, but the blame cannot fall entirely on him. The team has yet to play a sound defensive game in front of Ned this season, letting up roughly 40+ shots on average while he’s in net. 

The Wings have 4 games this week: two against the Rangers, one against Montreal, and one against the LA Kings. Let’s see if the Wings can help Ned out this week and fix those atrocious GAA numbers!

Happy Halloween

Connor and Dustin talk about the recent games against the Devils, Ducks, Bruins, and the Wild. The dig into who is starting off this season on a good foot and who still has some way to come. Raymond finally dusted off the cobwebs and netted 2 against the Wild, the haters will have to wait for another game to continue their "slow start" "overrated" talk. Rasmussen decided to get aggressive, and by aggressive we mean get suspended for two game for high sticking Krejčí against the Bruins. With Vrana, Bertuzzi, and now Rasmussen out the Wings looked for the depth players to bring some excitement to the ice. The Wings have had a pretty solid penalty kill this season, which is quite the different tune than last years. Detroit travels to Buffalo for a one game road series, and then back for a two game home stand next week.

Episode 129

First 5 games are complete, and the Wings improve to a 3-0-2 record! These guys have shown some resolve in the absence of two top players, Bertuzzi and Vrana. 

Larkin hasn’t skipped a beat since last season and continues to be the most dependable player on the team. Raymond hasn’t found the scoresheet as much as we would like, but he has still been playing very well overall. It won’t be long until he finds his stride. 

The Yzerplan is in full effect and everyone is drinking the kool aid! Tune in to listen to the guys break down the first few games of the season.

Episode 128

FINALLY hockey is back, and more importantly, the Red Wings are looking good! The guys talk about the first two games of the season with the new and improved roster. Could this Wings team make some noise this year? Some believe there is a possibility of sneaking into playoffs as a wild card. 

The division winners were picked as well - should be some tight races for most divisions!

The guys ended the episode with a fun conversation of who the biggest prospect bust for the Red Wings was: Jakub Kindl, Tom McCollum, or Tomas Jurco.

Episode 127

Luckily we have the Red Wings to give us hope because the Lions continue to be themselves. Preseason is underway and there have been some highlighted performances such as Raymond and Soderblom, and some underwhelming performances like Edvinsson. Preseason is what it is and we do not put much stock into it at all. Honestly, we’re happy it’s back!

In a new segment, the fellas battle the question “who was more impactful at their position: Lidstrom, Howe, or Yzerman?” This was a fun discussion and you’ll have to listen all the way to the end to see who the winner was.
