Lalonde's Future, Montgomery Fired, and Yzerman's Options - Nov. 20th, 2024

Winged Wheel Podcast - A Detroit Red Wings Podcast

The Detroit Red Wings freefalling, Derek Lalonde's seat getting hotter, Jim Montgomery fired in Boston...is change coming in Hockeytown?

Tune in as we start with an ugly overtime loss for the Red Wings in San Jose, including Dylan Larkin's 50 goal pace, Marco Kasper continuing to improve, Simon Edvinsson slotting in and scaring us all, Cam Talbot's tough night (as well as Compher), Alex DeBrincat, Lucas Raymond, Patrick Kane, Moritz Seider, and the Red Wings power play keeping things alive, Rasmussen's awkward goal, and the lacklustre effort in a must-win game (6:05).

After that, a discussion on where this leaves the Red Wings season, if Detroit is destined to fire their coach, the schedule ahead, and an overall analysis on how this affects the "Yzerplan" as Steve Yzerman seeks to balance the rebuild (with Sandin Pellikka, Brandsegg-Nygard, Cossa, Augustine, Danielson, Buchelnikov, & others in the pipeline) with this tough season (15:00).

Next, an analysis on where Derek Lalonde is at in terms of his time as the Detroit Red Wings coach, Jim Montgomery firedby Sweeney and the Boston Bruins & how he changes things, Tanguay, Gallant, Quenneville, keeping Newsy, & other options (36:21).

We then discuss possible Red Wings trade target like David Jiricek and Trevor Zegras, as well as quick news on Jack Campbell, as well as NHL news including Martin Necas' insane pace & Alexander Ovechkin's injury as he chases Wayne Gretzky's goal record (54:05) before we take your questions & comments in our Overtime segment (1:04:35) - enjoy!
