Hi everybody, and welcome to Red Wings Rant: Where tirades and impassioned pleas about your Detroit Red Wings finally have a home. Matt and Mike are back from Little Caesars Arena — and the Detroit Red Wings are officially on a roll. After taking down the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers 4-1, the Wings have now strung together three straight wins to move to 3-1-0.

The guys break down what it was like inside the arena, who passed the eyeball test (spoiler: Axel Sandin-Pellikka looked like a seasoned pro), and how Todd McLellan’s influence is already showing up in the details. We’ll talk about Mason Appleton’s incredible two-goal night, Dylan Larkin’s quietly dominant start, and how Patrick Kane and Alex DeBrincat keep piling on the points. Plus, we’ll spotlight Detroit’s penalty kill — now sitting near 90% — looking heavier, smarter, and more responsible than it’s been in years. Finally, we’ll look ahead to the next test: Tampa Bay, Edmonton, and Buffalo. Are the Red Wings for real, or is this just an early-season flash?

Matt and Mike break it all down from rinkside. JOIN THE DISCORD: https://discord.gg/rd2RUDkzuS Let’s have fun!
