Detroit's Odds Dwindle and Augustine On the Rise - Mar. 19th, 2025

Time is running out for the Detroit Red Wings. Tune in as we open by discussing the Hockeytown team's latest loss to Alexander Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals, including a Dylan Larkin goal, Petr Mrazek's 4th straight start, another 3rd period collapse, & more. Also, a discussion on whether this team is reverting back to the ways of Derek Lalonde rather than Todd McLellan, or the losses are more a function of the talent Steve Yzerman has added or just a tough schedule (3:50). We also take a look at the Stanley Cup Playoff race and what Lucas Raymond, Alex DeBrincat, Patrick Kane, Moritz Seider, Simon Edvinsson, & Co. have to do to beat the very long odds (22:05). Next, Trey Augustine piling up NCAA accolades with the Michigan State Spartans and what he has done for the Red Wings pipeline alongside Sebastian Cossa, Carter Gylander, & the rest of the netminders (27:50), as well as some more fun Marco Kasper stats (31:10). After that, our 2025 NHL Entry Draft Prospect Profile on Matthew Schaefer, and whether the Otters defenseman should go above Misa, Hagens, Martone, Frondell, & others in his class (36:15). Finally, NHL news including thoughts on Gary Bettman's bracket playoffs vs. the 1v8 format, expanded 3v3 overtime, the All Star game, the NHL Draft, & more (47:50).
