    Here’s what Peter and Jay have for you this time (all time locations are without the opening ad)

    Current Trades!: (00:00 - 21:30) We had trades happen! Edmonton was involved in both of them, so you know that means there are things to talk about. Kelly from Broad Street Hockey hopped on to tell us about the Cam Talbot trade from the Flyers perspective.
    Future Trades!: (21:30 - 44:52) The trade deadline is fast approaching, and we break down some potential trades that could happen around the league.
    Nassau Sweet Nassau: (44:52 - 53:07) The Islanders announced that they are going to be playing the home games for the first round of the playoffs at Nassau Coliseum. Peter talks a little about the history and atmosphere of that arena.
    Storms are Surging!: (53:07 - END) Don Cherry got a full diaper over the Hurricanes having fun. We both like the Storm Surge, and we hope you do too. Then, we wrap up the show.

  • WIIM Radio: The Pirelli Punt Edition

    Welcome to the newest WIIM Radio mailbag! We’re out of the All-Star Break and into the final...err... “half” of the season now and the Red Wings still aren’t in a playoff position, but we’ve got plenty to discuss about that. Here’s a rundown of the topics we’ll get into:

    How to Finish Out the Season: With the trade deadline mere weeks away and the Wings not looking like they’re going to magically crawl into contention prior to February 25th, what do we want to see out of this team in the short run to March, the medium run to April, and the longer run to 2019-20 and beyond? We’ll talk about how we’d like to see the roster con/destructed from here on out and what we want to see out of the kids, the vets, and the front office.
    Looking Around the League: Auston Matthews just got a big contract that’s surprisingly not-at-all team friendly and that’s going to set the market for a bunch of things to happen going forward. Some of them might bring us joy, even. Elsewhere, the West is bad, The Hawks getting Hughes would be infuriating, and we’ll take a quick gander at who our contenders and pretenders are as we near the postseason.
    Extra Rant Time: I don’t know what we’re going to use this for, but rest-assured I’ll probably be ranting at some point.
    Reader Questions: Here’s the good part - you ask your questions in the comments below and we’ll go over each one that hasn’t already been answered. I know you folks always come up with such great ones for these episodes so do us proud!
    Predictions! The Wings will be playing a few more games in the coming week and us resident geniuses will tell you EXACTLY how they’re going to go.

  • Fer Sure - Episode 41: Cat Silverman Returns

    Here’s what Peter and Jay have for you this time (all time locations are without the opening ad):

    Hey Now, You’re An All-Star: (00:00 - 11:35) The All-Star game has come and gone, and we even watched some of it.
    Award Frontrunners: (11:35 - 20:42) After the All-Star break, we take a quick look at the award picture.
    Interview: (20:42 - 58:48) We talked to Cat Silverman about goaltending, Arizona, and the Pierre McGuire - Kendall Coyne interaction.
    Red Kelly’s Number Retirement: (58:48 - END) The Red Wings retired the number of Red Kelly on Friday night. We talk a little about that and broach the topic of two Russian Red Wings and their number retirement chances.

  • Fer Sure Episode 40: Keith Gave

    Here’s what Peter and Jay have for you this time (all time locations are without the opening ad):

    Beware the Isles in March: (00:00 - 21:26) The Islanders are top of the Metro division, which nobody was expecting.
    Interview: (21:26 - 1:01:06) For this episode we talked to Keith Gave, the author of The Russian Five. We talked about his involvement in the story, how it was to cover the tragic limo crash after the 1997 Cup Finals win, and much more. Keith also gave us an update on where to see the documentary.
    You can find his book here if you don’t already have it.
    Bring me Scheifele’s Head!: (1:01:06 - 1:06:17) Ryan Johansen swung his stick like some type of very long sword at the head/neck of Mark Scheifele. DOPS gave him a 2 game suspension, which we both feel is way too short.
    Oh Well, Whatever, Nevermind: (1:06:17 - End) Jay couldn’t let this episode end without his thoughts on the newly-revealed All-Star jerseys.

  • Fer Sure - Episode 39: Ryan Stimson

    Here’s what Peter and Jay have for you this time (all time locations are without the opening ad):

    Winter Classic: (00:00 - 11:56) The game has come and gone. We talk a little about the game, and more about why it has lost its luster.
    All-Star: (11:56 - 26:59) The All Star rosters were announced, along with a new twist that allows fans to vote for one more player for each division. We talk about why the All Star game needs to be re-imagined.
    Interview: (26:59 - 1:10:54) We talk to Ryan Stimson, who has a new book out called Tape to Space: Redefining Modern Hockey Tactics. We talked a little about Buffalo, since Ryan covers them for The Athletic Buffalo, then talk a lot about his new book.
    World Juniors: (1:10:54 - 1:22:23) When we recorded this, the medals had not yet been decided. We took a quick look at the tournament.
    Quick Hits: (1:22:23 - End) We talk a little bit about an NHL 19 update, Carolina’s Storm Surge, and Greg Kruppa leaving the Red Wings beat.

  • Listen to WIIM Radio: The Boxing-Lesson Day Edition

    Welcome to our latest edition of WIIM Radio! We’ve got me, JJ, and Jay around to talk all things Wings. Here’s what we got up to:

    Red Wings Surprises - What have been the biggest positive and negative surprises this season for Detroit? (Also, I misspoke about quality starts. I meant to say a start where the goalie’s sv% is above league average, not their personal average).
    Red & White is the Season’s Fashion: Rumors of a new third jersey! The Wings have a classic, but have also had success going with alternates in the past. What could come of this rumor?
    Out With the Old, In With the New: Detroit has four prospects playing at the World Juniors and should have a bigger role than we’re used to seeing. How much does this change our interest in the tournament and what are we looking forward to out of Veleno, McIsaac, Setkov, and Zadina?
    Red Wings as a Holiday Movie: Each of us compare the Red Wings season so far to the plot of a treasured holiday movie. Jay has a song.
    Around the World in One Night: What are the storylines that are most interesting to you outside of Detroit? I want to hear this in the comments as well. We’ll read off the best answers and give you credit for being the geniuses that you are here.
    Positivity Corner: It’s more like a whole room by now.
    Reader Questions: Our favorite part of each episode - we’ll open the floor to you, the readers and will give up the answers to ALL of your pressing questions (except the ones that are already covered by the time we get to this part). Anything goes.
    Looking ahead: Crystal ball time. We’ll give you the take-it-to-Vegas odds on the next two weeks for the Wings.
    As always, WIIM Radio is rated R for language and cutting the tags off of mattresses we don’t own.

  • Fer Sure - Episode 38: Kaitlyn Dividock

    Here’s what Peter and Jay have for you this time (all time locations are without the opening ad):

    Seattle Expansion: (00:00 - 9:25) Since we took an extra week off, this is pretty old news, but we wanted to talk a little about the Seattle team and what it means for the rest of the league.
    New IIHF Rule (9:25 - 16:25) The IIHF announced a new rule on late hits. We talk about its merits and if it goes too far.
    Interview: (16:25 - 1:06:58) We talk to Kaitlyn Dividock from Pensburgh about a multitude of topics, from the Pengins mindset as Crosby and Malkin age, to a fact about Gritty that you won’t be able to un-hear.
    Christmas Characters Fantasy Draft: (1:06:58 - End) Jay and pick our starting lineup (plus 1 wildcard pick) of Christmas characters. Then we wrap up.

  • WIIM Radio: The Youth Gone Wild Edition

    The Wings since we last spoke - Detroit has been hot and then cooler since our last episode. We’ll cover the goings-on in detail

    Youth Gone Wild - The kids are stepping up for each other and that’s partially good (team building!) and partially bad (injuries/suspensions). We’ll talk through our feelings about this development.
    Around the League - Taking a look at the soon-to-be 31 other teams in the NHL, we’ll dedicate at least a little bit of time to those jerks.
    Positivity Corner - It’s key to keep making sure we do this, even if we’re already feeling pretty positive.
    Reader Questions - You ask the most-pressing questions on your minds and we’ll blow those minds with our great answers. My favorite part of every podcast.
    Wrapping Up/Looking Ahead - We’ll tell you how many games the Wings will win in the coming days. Guaranteed to satisfy or your money back.

  • Fer Sure - Episode 37: Meghan Hall and Hannah Burry from the Balls & Sticks Cast

    Here’s what Peter and Jay have for you this time (all time locations are without the opening ad):

    Introductions: (00:00 - 17:59) Instead of having our traditional interview segment, we have Hannah and Meghan on the entire episode, but we start off with some getting to know you questions to introduce our listeners to our two guests.
    The Willenium Starts in Toronto (17:59 - 24:25) William Nylander signed at the last minute, keeping Meghan, who is a Toronto fan, from a horrible weekend. Here are our reactions to the situation.
    Jeff Skinner’s Next Contract: (24:25 - 30:45) Because Hannah is a Buffalo fan, we give Meghan a little chance to inquire about Jeff Skinner’s upcoming contract, and if it’s going to stress Hannah out like Nylander’s situation did with Meghan.
    Tom Wilson....Again....: (30:45 - 43:40) He just can’t help himself. Maybe he’s just a garbage player who continually throws predatory hits. Also, what players do we hate to hate?
    Coaching Carousel: (43:40 - 51:40) Coaches and GMs have lost their jobs recently. Which ones are the most interesting?
    Laine Lights the Lamp: (51:40 - 57:10) Patrick Laine recently had a 5 goal game, and after starting the season in a goal scoring slump, he now leads the league. Jay and I love watching Patrick Laine, but what are some other players who don’t play for the teams we root for that we enjoy watching?
    Game Time!: (57:10 - END) We haven’t done a quiz in a while, so I made one up that utilizes both stories from Sean McIndoe’s book The Down Goes Brown History of the NHL and stories I made up. Then, we wrap up.
    Remember, you can get Fer Sure t-shirts in a variety of colors and styles, hoodies, notebooks, stickers, and much more.

  • Fer Sure - Episode 36: James Edwards III

    Here’s what Peter and Jay have for you this time (all time locations are without the opening ad):

    Quick Updates: (00:00 - 5:00) Spooner - Strome trade, TB goaltending problems.
    Hockey Hall of Fame Induction: (5:00 - 10:20) The HHOF induction ceremony happened recently, and we talk about why it would have been better to have it feature one fewer person.
    Concussion Lawsuit Settlement: (10:20 - 20:32) We try to discuss this complex issue and what it means going forward.
    Interview: (20:32 - 1:09:58) Our interview this week features the Pistons beat writer for the Athletic Detroit, James Edwards III. It was a real fun conversation from someone who is connected to hockey, but in a much less hardcore way than our usual guests.
    Reducing the Arbitrator to Fired: (1:09:58 - 1:18:31) Tom Wilson had his suspension reduced, and it’s dumb.
    Bruins / Blackhawks Jerseys: (1:18:31 - END) Winter Classic jersey talk, then we wrap up.
     
    If you are using a podcast app, you can find both this podcast and WIIM Radio (our podcast devoted to the Red Wings) in the same channel - Winging it in Motown.

    Here is the link to our merchandise store. You can get Fer Sure t-shirts in a variety of colors and styles, hoodies, notebooks, stickers, and much more. As I say in the episode, we are donating our portion of money our store earns to the Concussion Legacy Foundation through the end of November.
