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 (54:05) before we take your questions & comments in our Overtime segment (1:04:35) - enjoy!

Do the Detroit Red Wings need to make a change?

Tune in as we start by discussing Detroit's brutal loss to Treovr Zegras and the Anaheim Ducks as they kicked their road trip off in the worst way, including Marco Kasper's 1st career NHL goal, Jonatan Berggren striking again, DeBrincat finding Lucas Raymond to break his slump, Alex Lyon's rough return, Simon Edvinsson leaving with an injury, and Derek Lalonde's squad's ugly loss (4:15). After that, a predictable loss to Cam Talbot's former team in the Los Angeles Kings, including another lopsided affair where only Dylan Larkin's goal could at all spoil the show as Moritz Seider had to contend without his defensive partner (13:40). After that, what Simon Edvinsson being out would mean for Steve Yzerman's Hockeytown team and what the game against San Jose means for them (Hagens? Martone? Misa?) (20:25).

Next, we have the big discussion: does Steve Yzerman need to consider firing Derek Lalonde? How much of the defensive woes are on Lalonde vs. Yzerman bringing in the likes of Gustafsson, Holl, Petry, and others? Who would replace him - Quenneville? McLellan? Montgomery? Sullivan? Can this be turned around? All of that and lots more as the Detroit Red Wings and their fans look for answers (27:05).

After that, more Red Wings news including Jack Campbell returning and being waived to the Grand Rapids Griffins, Larkin's goal pace, the stellar play of Nate Danielson, Dmitri Buchelnikov, Emmitt Finnie, & more (48:50) before we get into NHL news including the rising salary cap (& what it means for Detroit's core), Pittsburgh's whole team being sick, & more (55:40).

All of that & plenty more before we take your questions & comments in our Overtime segment (1:03:15) - enjoy!

SIMON EDVINSSON DOES IT ALL (0:30)!

Tune in as we start by discussing the Detroit Red Wings beating Sidney Crosby and the Penguins thanks to Edvinsson's overtime winner in Pittsburgh, including a hot start from Derek Lalonde's squad, Jonatan Berggren finally scoring his 1st goal of the season with his line of Kasper and Tarasenko, Lucas Raymond, Dylan Larkin, and Patriock Kane connecting on the red-hot power play, Cam Talbot's outstanding performance again, and DeBrincat feeding Edvinsson for the overtime winner (5:00). We then discuss team statistics through the first 15 games for Steve Yzerman's Hockeytown team, how Seider and Edvinsson are leading the defense, penalty kill woes, and power play highs, amazing goaltending from Talbot (Team Canada-bound?) and Lyon, and how the Red Wings may have some optimism moving forward (17:25).

After that, more Detroit news as Ville Husso is sent down to Grand Rapids where Nate Danielson is tearing it up for the Griffins in the AHL, former Wings going through it as Mantha is out and Athanasiou is waived, and Henrik Zetterberg's case to follow Pavel Datsyuk to the Hockey Hall of Fame (32:55).

Finally, big NHL news as Kyle Dubas may look to tear down the Penguins roster around Crosby, Malkin, and Letang, thoughts on acquiring a young right-shot defenseman like Drysdale or Jiricek, Quenneville, McLellan, and Montgomery's names floating around the NHL coaching carousel, Ken Holland news, and thoughts on the GMs potentially wanting shorter max contracts (44:20). All of that & more before we take your questions & comments in our Overtime segment (59:25) - enjoy!
