Wing Sauce

Connor and Dustin talk about the Wings Season, while overall they finished strong, theres still that issue of the losing streak they went on during Larking absence. It shows the lack of depth in the center position and hopefully thats something that Yzerman looks to strengthen this offseason via prospects or trades/free agents. Raymond surely put on a show this season making the case made for a big long term contract. With the Wing...

The Wings have had an interesting end of February and early March. They had a winning streak moving into their West Coast trip and have recently lost 3 straight(ironically after announcing the recent jersey partnership). For the first time in a long time the Wings find themselves in a Wild Card spot. However when you evaluate the recent signings by Vegas, Colorado, Edmonton the Wings do not look to be at the calliaber. Does that me...

Dustin and Connor of course break down the recent Lions game, because we are Detroit based and I think everyone was talking about it. They had one amazing season and something to be proud about! Connor being the more analytical person wasn't as hard on Aaron Glenn as Dustin was.  We think the Lions have created a solid team and cant wait to see how it plays out next season! The Red Wings have recently found themselves winning ...

Connor and Dustin are back after taking time for a quick Winter Break, with Christmas and New Years its always hard to find a time to record. But the boys are back and so are the Red Wings. The Wings have been playing an elevated level hockey that was reminiscent to how they started the season. They have found their way back into playoff contention currently sitting with a wild card spot after winning against Tampa last night. Spea...

Connor and Dustin finally connect after a good holiday season with their families. One of the hot topics was of course the Joseph hit on Larkin and the Perron aftermath. 
Dustin and Connor both echo Larkins comments about the Player Safety Board being so inconsistent that most of the players have little to no idea what will get supplemental suspensions and what wont.  The Wings need to find out how to keep pucks out of the net ...

This week was a quick episode, while Kane took the ice and skated he remained scoreless however had multiple opportunities. The Wings let up 4 goals after scoring their own 4 goals to lose in OT via the Sharks. The Wing needs to tighten up if the expect to remain a conversation for the playoffs, especially with the recent Kane signing. Connor was at the game and mentioned the odd rotation of the lines, with Kane staying out sometim...

The hot news of the week is the recent signing of Patrick Kane. Connor and Dustins expectations are similar in that you are getting a low cost high caliber player. Is he going to be superstar Kane like we are use to seeing? Only time will tell.  I think its best to go into this at finding another solid scoring piece. How do you think this shakes up the lines? Do we see a Captain America Line? Cat-Larkin-Kane?  Alex Lyon has proved ...

The Red Wings with almost a quarter of the season played are really right where most analysts had us at the start of the season unlike the Oilers... 
However after a hot start from the Red Wings with Alex Debrincat starting the season on pace for 100 Points things have slightly cooled.  That being said the Red Wings are currently in the Top 5 of most scoring teams, a big change over years past. However we are still ending a lot...

The Red Wings are off to a hot start being 2nd in the Atlantic Division.  Larking and Debrincat are clicking and we finally have true 2nd and third lines. 
Thoughts and prayers out to Adam Johnson and his friends and family. 
Dustin and Connor talk about neck guards and the implementation of them in multiple leagues around the world. 
Dustin and Connor think the Wings have 4-5 wins in them moving into Thanksgiving. If t...

What a way to start a season! After coming out with a loss to New Jersey the wings have been nothing but HOT since. Yzermans offseason signings have started to find their footings in the Yzerplan. The first line with Debrincat, Larkin, Raymond has been nothing but on fire. Currently Alex is on pace to score 100+ goals this season. The Larkin haters have seemed to be silenced as he can finally be the playmaker the Red Wings know he ...

Episode 164

Preseason is here, and there is MUCH more excitement this time around. With the new additions to the roster, this Wings team should be primed for playoff contention. We know, we know - one step at a time. 

The DeBrincat-Larkin connection is already looking good - the duo had identical goals in the games against Pittsburgh and Washington where DeBrincat receives a pass down low on the left side of the g...

Episode 163

We were joined this week with special guest, Carter Mazur! This young, 21-year-old wields a combination of skill and a scoring touch. Taken in the 3rd round (70th overall) by the Red Wings in 2021, Mazur played just two collegiate seasons at Denver University, winning a National Championship AND being named Rookie of the Year for the NCHC in his freshman year. Carter ended his second year at Denver by signing h...

Early Stanley Cup odds are out and the favorite seems to be the Carolina Hurricanes with the Maple Leafs and Devils right behind them. There’s a 4-way tie for worst odds overall at +25000: Anaheim, Arizona, San Jose, and Montreal (lol). Your Detroit Red Wings have the 24th best odds at +7500, which is a definite underestimation since the Sens are  at +4000.  

46 days away from pre season hockey!!

Connor and Dustin catch up on some golf talk as well as the biggest move of the summer for the Red Wings.

If you haven't heard Yzerman finally made a big move in the offseason, signing Michigan native Alex DeBrincat. The boys have talked about him ad nauseam and it finally came to fruition. The Wings have needed a natural goal scorer for sometime and with this signing it looks like Larkin will finally have a linemate ...

Episode 160

The draft went just as well as any Wings fan would hope for, but the free agency moves have the faithful quite confused. Although it’s only just begun, many were hoping that Yzerman was going to dive into a signing big name early such as DeBrincat or Terasenko.

Stevie definitely addressed some needs, however, with the depth added on the back end with Justin Holl and Shayne Gostisbehere as well as in th...

Episode 159

And just like that, the 2023 season is in the books! Vegas has won the cup in just their 6th season as an NHL franchise. What an incredible run for both teams - battling through broken bones all the way. 

Just like many playoffs, stars were born during this year’s run: Eichel proved to be one hell of a playmaker these playoffs, Marchessault went from undrafted to Conn Smythe (beating his former squad i...

Episode 158

The SCF is all set for 2023: Vegas vs Florida. Neither team has lifted Lord Stanley, so this is a series for the books! With Vegas already taking game 1, they are a mere 3 wins from etching their names into the silver sides of the Cup. Can they get it done or will the pesky Cats fight back and bring home the Cup to the Sunshine State? 

Please go to 7 games! We need to milk as much hockey as we can out ...

Episode 157

Because it’s Memorial Day, we had to get our golf talk in. Dustin gives his thoughts on his recent trip to American Dunes in Grand Haven.

Next topic was the Jamie Benn brain fart moment of cross checking Mark Stone in the jaw, leading to a 5-minute major plus a 2 game sussy. What on earth was the goal there? Although Dallas rallied for games 4 and 5, all signs point to a Florida vs Vegas Stanley Cup Fi...
