No matter what, it always feels good to beat the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Tune in as we open by discussing the Detroit Red Wings and their two most recent games: a horrendous performance where Scott Laughton & Matvei Michkov danced around Derek Lalonde's squad despite Cam Talbot's best efforts (and a late Ben Chiarot goal), whether Sebastian Cossa would've made a difference, & John Tortorella & The Michigan (4:50), as well as a 4-2 win in Detroit over Matthews, Marner, & the Leafs, including Jack Campbell being called up to back up Ville Husso's 1st win of the season, Jeff Petry scoring twice (one being given to Rasmussen retroactively), Moritz Seider banging home a nice play from Andrew Copp and Patrick Kane, Berggren's ill-advised cross-check, offside reviews, Lucas Raymond sealing the game, & more (13:35)!

After that, we analyze the usage of Moritz Seider and Simon Edvinsson, how it signals that Steve Yzerman may only be a couple moves away from making this team a lot better, how Dylan Larkin, Alex DeBrincat, & others fit into that timeline, & more positive outlooks (27:55). Also, prospect updates on Kiiskinen, Mazur, Plante, & others (38:15) before jumping into NHL news including the Fowler trade, Blackwood trade, Trevor Zegras' injury & availability, & plenty more (39:45) before we take your questions & comments in our Overtime segment (50:45) - enjoy!
