Yzerman's Message and McLellan's Era Begins ft. Max Bultman - Dec. 29t...
Episode Description
The Todd McLellan era in Detroit is now fully underway, with Steve Yzerman speaking to the state of the Red Wings rebuild.
Tune in as we open by discussing Steve Yzerman's comments about Hockeytown, his maybe "heated" moment where he said he's taking suggestions, how he plans to expedite the rebuild around Dylan Larkin, Alex DeBrincat, Lucas Raymond, Moritz Seider, and Simon Edvinsson, & what the task ahead is (3:55). After that, comments and philosophy from Dylan Larkin, Todd McLellan, & others, as well as McLellan's first full practice ("just f*in play hockey") (16:00).
Next, we discuss takeaways from the first Detroit Red Wings game (against Marner and the visiting Leafs) since moving on from Derek Lalonde, as well as what the Detroit Red Wings management staff may be missing (32:25), before discussing the continued rumors of a potential Buffalo Sabres / Detroit Red Wings trade (Dylan Cozens or Bowen Byram?), in addition to a quick not on Elmer Soderblom in the AHL with the Grand Rapids Griffins (59:00).
Finally, a World Junior Championship update including Axel Sandin Pellikka, Max Plante, Trey Augustine, Team Canada's upset loss to Latvia, & plenty more (1:09:35) before we take your questions & comments in our Overtime segment (1:21:20) - enjoy!
