Episode 48: Red Wings Wilt

Aidan Serra and James Paracy shine a light on the career of former star power forward Wayne Simmonds, who has officially announced his retirement, before moving on to shine a light on the Colorado Avalanche, specifically impressive victories over the Vancouver Canucks and Edmonton Oilers. On the topic of the Avs, they touch on Nathan MacKinnon and Nikita Kucherov's Art Ross trophy race, and the prospect of MacKinnon reaching 50 goals for the first time, before moving on to take a look at the NHL playoff picture, specifically the recent struggles of the Detroit Red Wings and how those struggles may cost them what once looked like a safe spot in the playoffs. After more playoff talk, they launch into an analysis of potentially the NHL's sleeping giant, the Philadelphia Flyers, and how the team has a chance to build a true contender around Matvei Michkov. They wrap with trivia and movie talk. Episode recorded on Monday, March 18, and produced by Aidan Serra. Music by Gareth Baird.
