- Listen to WIIM Radio: Tanksgiving Edition
Hey, we WIIM Radioed for you and now you’ll get a chance to listen on the way to visit your weird uncle and that aunt who wants to grill everybody on who they voted for. We have me, Graham, Kyle, and Mike on to talk all things Wings. Here’s the rundown:
The Red Wings - The team is struggling in fall facets of the game and will go into Wednesday’s battle against Buffalo trying to climb out of the Atlantic basement. How close to their record are the Wings playing?The Coaching - With the way the Wings have been going/making various mistakes, some of it has to fall on the coaching. How hot should Jeff Blashill’s seat be right now?All-Star Voting & The John Scott Rule - The league submitted rules to try to keep the John Scott thing at bay, but left a few holes in the concept. No matter what, the voting will probably be dumb. Still. #VoteOttLeaguewide Observations - The Vegas Golden Knights are here! Who cares? Everybody! Also, it’s not exactly OUR league, but we’ll be sharing a house with the Pistons, as announced on Tuesday.Positivity Corner - We take a quick break from the constant bellyaching to remind people that we’re happy optimists (nah just kidding, this isn’t a dour episode, but Positivity Corner rules).Reader Questions - Not a ton of questions in the mailbag today, but they were really good ones, so great job everybody on saving us from the prospect of having a bad mailbag!You can listen via the embedded player above or download from our Blogtalk Radio page.

It's that time of the week again where we get to stay up late, all hopped up on rage and adrenaline, to discuss what's been happening with our Detroit Red Wings and the NHL at-large. Wanna know tonight's topics? Well I guess this is your lucky day.... they're just below!
The Week In ReviewFans were slapped in the face with a string of losses since the last recording. We have feelings on that. You probably do, too. Let's get emotional together.Prospect NewsLil Bert slapped management in the face hard enough to get a call-up while Vanek lingers in LTIR. Is this Ken Holland’s way of slapping Mantha in the face? *removes tin-foil hatRumblings Around The LeagueKen Holland was slapped in the face with the lack of value of his trade pieces, as he was supposedly shot down on a 3-way deal for Trouba. Also, Toronto and Vancouver slapped at each other over the weekend and it was entertaining. This and other stuff from around the NHL.Positivity CornerIt’s not all handprints and hurt feelings as we point out the bright spots in each other and the Red Wings. Then, a big group hug.Reader QuestionsMake your own mark on the podcast and slap JJ with your reader questions in the comment section below.

1 hr 19 min - Listen to WIIM Radio: Philly Nightmare Edition
Welcome to a new episode of WIIM Radio. We foolishly decided to record after a game, so bear with us. Just me, Kyle, and Peter tonight. Here’s what we got up to:
The Red Wings lost to the Flyers again - Detroit blew a winnable game because of bad decision-making and we vented about it... at length.Moving forward - BAG SKATE EVERYBODY!How to fix the defense - Is it too terribly broken without making a trade? Can anything be done to get folks’ heads above water?Other roster moves - There’s probably a cap reason for not having Kronwall on LTIR and giving the Wings the ability to carry an extra forward. Is Thomas Vanek the key to the whole damn thing?Around the league - It’s the year of the rookies around the NHL. All those damn kids playing... all... those... kids...Positivity Corner - Shut up.Reader Questions - You asked, we answered. Good job.You can listen via the embedded player above or download from our Blogtalk Radio page.

1 hr 25 min - Listen to WIIM Radio: Red Wings are 4-2 Edition
Welcome to the newest edition of WIIM Radio! We have a packed house for this one, as I’m joined by Kyle, Graham, and Prashanth for a rip-roaring good time after the Wings put up four straight wins. Here’s what we went over:
The Start to the Season - Positives and negatives from the beginning of the season as the Wings have a 4-2 record to start. What’s been working out so far and what hasn’t been?The Ericsson Renaissance - The whole team’s defensive structure has changed and it seems that Ericsson is a beneficiary of it. He’s a whole new person while the Wings slow things down in one end to speed them up in another.The Cam Fowler Rumors - It seems almost inevitable that it will happen, but there’s lots of reasons to believe it might not. Will the defensive resurgence prevent it from happening? Is Fowler worth the price it will probably cost?Jimmy Howard and Speaking of Trades - Will the Wings end up moving Howard? Can they? Do they even want to? Is it Smart? Did I leave the iron on? All this and more.Surprises of the Early Season - Break up the Oilers because they’re great! We also take a look at surprises and disappointments in the early season.Positivity Corner - Stuff we’re thankful and happy for, because it’s working so far and we like things that are working.Reader Questions - Y’all ask awesome questions and we answered them as best we could.

The Red Wings Won! - J.J. used the main WIIM account on Twitter to call for Mike Green’s benching and gets an opportunity to explain why you all owe him a big thanks for that.

1 hr 25 min - WIIM Radio: Season's Eve Edition
Welcome to the latest episode of WIIM radio! Today we’ve got Kyle, Peter, Mike, and me all here to make you struggle telling us apart (I’m Seth Rogen). Here’s what we got into in this episode:
The Waiver Losses & Roster Choices - The Wings lost Frk and Pulkkinen to waivers in order to ensure they have the newest version of their grind line to put out there. It’s not the end of the world or anything, but it’s not exactly great either.The Defense - With Kronwall on IR retroactive and able to come back whenever he feels like it, we’ve got a limited window for Sproul/Ouellet to shine. What should we expect from the groupings we’ve got?The New Arrivals - Nielsen is the new center in town and Thomas Vanek will be the PP specialist coming around. Instead we talk about bus tickets and hot air balloon rides. Just kidding. Nielsen rules.Around the NHL - We go around the divisions and pick our winners. The Atlantic is still a bag of trash, but we’re not the only one!Reader Questions - Y’all asked some wonderful questions and we gave even better answers than you could have hoped. Really fantastic answers. The best answers ever, really.

1 hr 37 min - WIIM Radio: Hello Darkness My Old Friend (September 1st)
Well hi there, old friends! How’s about we have ourselves a Red Wings hockey podcast? It’s been a while since we’ve done one of these, so we apologize. Since training camp and preseason are just right around the corner, it’s time to start bantering about our beloved Red Wings again. We’ll cover everything that has happened over the past few weeks: The bad, the good, the beautiful, and the ugly! Let’s get it!
Free agency! We signed a few new faces in Frans Nielsen, Thomas Vanek, and Steve Ott. How do we feel about them along with other UFA signings? What about RFA signings? How do we feel about those?Pavel Datsyuk is no longer a Red Wing, and is tearing up the KHL. Does it hurt? Of course it does! We’re going to whine into our wine about one of the greatest leaving.Ken Holland has done a lot of talking to mainstream media this offseason that comes off as concerning. We’re going to riff on that.World Cup of Hockey is upon us... Will you watch? Do you care? The Red Wings already have a slew of injuries which will hold out certain players. We’ll talk about that as well.As always, we will answer your questions that you leave in our comments. Don’t be shy, it’s been a while!As of right now, we will be broadcasting live at 10pm ET on Thursday, September 1st. We will update you if anything changes!Learn more about your ad choices.

1 hr 31 min - WIIM Radio: Summer of Kenny 2.0 Edition
Welcome to our newest edition of WIIM Radio! This go-around, we’ve got me, Kyle, teandcakeordeath (Mike) and StraightOuttaSverdlovsk (Peter) joining in to talk all things Wings. We had a bit of a hiccup in going for 90 minutes before realizing we had lost the recording, so things are a bit hectic in here. Here’s what we got up to:
The Start of Free Agency - The Wings got off to an earlier start on July 1st and kind of set the tone for the whole day with the Helm signing, but hindsight on it isn’t terrible... just that it wasn’t ideal either.The Need to Sign DeKeyser & Mrazek - Will both of these guys go to arbitration? Do we want that. We talk about which one we’d rather honestly go to arbitration and which one we’d rather give five years to.The Red Wings Sticking to the Plan & Trading for Defensemen - Trading for a guy is going to cost a bunch, but are the kids really the answer here? Reader Questions - Y’all asked some real good questions and we gave you decent to outright great answers.WIIM Radio is rated R for language and postal fraud.Learn more about your ad choices.

1 hr 27 min - WIIM Radio: Pre-Agency Craziness
Hoo boy do we have some stuff to talk about for you in this episode of WIIM Radio. We've got me, Kyle, Jeff, Graham, and Prashanth to talk about all of the craziness in the NHL in the past week and also to answer your reader questions. Here's what we got up to this week:
The NHL Has Gone Nuts! - We lost out on the Stamkos Sweepstakes before it even started, as the Wings didn't even get a chance to talk to the guy before he re-signed in Tampa for a lockout-proof, buyout-proof $8.5M AAV eight-year deal. The Oilers traded Hall for a guy who's basically a decent top-four guy, but at least the Habs made themselves worse!Red Wings Free Agency Planning - Should they move for a young defenseman and a big forward? Get a center? Give term out? Maybe give out higher AAV for a shorter deal? Can we get Trouba or Shattenkirk still? How about homegrowing guys?The Draft - The Wings grabbed a bunch of defensemen, a goalie, and a power forward type. Most importantly though, he dumped the Datsyuk deal in a great deal. Graham talks the draft plan and Jeff is very pleased. Reader Questions - Lots of stuff came out today that we had covered by this section, but we got lots of good ones to go over as well.- - -You can listen via the embedded player above or download at our Blogtalk Radio Page.
