Does Yzerman Need to Make a Change? and Edvinsson's Injury - Nov. 17th, 2024

Do the Detroit Red Wings need to make a change?

Tune in as we start by discussing Detroit's brutal loss to Treovr Zegras and the Anaheim Ducks as they kicked their road trip off in the worst way, including Marco Kasper's 1st career NHL goal, Jonatan Berggren striking again, DeBrincat finding Lucas Raymond to break his slump, Alex Lyon's rough return, Simon Edvinsson leaving with an injury, and Derek Lalonde's squad's ugly loss (4:15). After that, a predictable loss to Cam Talbot's former team in the Los Angeles Kings, including another lopsided affair where only Dylan Larkin's goal could at all spoil the show as Moritz Seider had to contend without his defensive partner (13:40). After that, what Simon Edvinsson being out would mean for Steve Yzerman's Hockeytown team and what the game against San Jose means for them (Hagens? Martone? Misa?) (20:25).

Next, we have the big discussion: does Steve Yzerman need to consider firing Derek Lalonde? How much of the defensive woes are on Lalonde vs. Yzerman bringing in the likes of Gustafsson, Holl, Petry, and others? Who would replace him - Quenneville? McLellan? Montgomery? Sullivan? Can this be turned around? All of that and lots more as the Detroit Red Wings and their fans look for answers (27:05).

After that, more Red Wings news including Jack Campbell returning and being waived to the Grand Rapids Griffins, Larkin's goal pace, the stellar play of Nate Danielson, Dmitri Buchelnikov, Emmitt Finnie, & more (48:50) before we get into NHL news including the rising salary cap (& what it means for Detroit's core), Pittsburgh's whole team being sick, & more (55:40).

All of that & plenty more before we take your questions & comments in our Overtime segment (1:03:15) - enjoy!
