Could Yzerman Target Rantanen? and Four Nations Preview - Dec. 4th 2024

Winged Wheel Podcast - A Detroit Red Wings Podcast

Another Detroit Red Wings 3rd period lead, another overtime loss...

Tune in as we start by discussing Sebastian Cossa's first NHL call-up to back-up Ville Husso as Cam Talbot and Alex Lyon go down with injuries (4:20) before jumping into Detroit's 3-2 loss to the Boston Bruins, including Lucas Raymond's scoring heater, Simon Edvinsson's multi-point night, Rasmussen's solid offensive play, penalty kill woes, controversial penalties (an non-penalties with Pastrnak on Alex DeBrincat & others), Zadorov joining Marchand as an annoying force, Gustafsson's rough game, & more (including standings updates) as Derek Lalonde's squad drops a point (8:20).

After that, we discuss an impending free agent superstar and whether Steve Yzerman could (or should) go for him at a mega-contract next offseason: Mikko Rantanen of the Colorado Avalanche (as well as Mitch Marner, Kirill Kaprizov, & others) (25:40).

Next, we analyze the Four Nations Faceoff rosters, who got left off, & offer our opinions on who's the favorite (rosters at bottom of description) (39:30) before going into Detroit Red Wings system news (including the Grand Rapids Griffins, Axel Sandin Pellikka, and Emmitt Finnie) & NHL news (55:40) before we take your questions & comments in our Overtime segment (1:03:10) - enjoy!
