Apple Seider, All-Star Larkin, and Vrana Scratched - Jan. 11th, 2023

What a night for Moritz Seider & Co.! Tune in as we can a wild 7-5 Detroit Red Wings win over the Winnipeg Jets, including Mo Seider's franchise record-tying 4 assists, Lucas Raymond's 3 points, Dylan Larkin & Andrew Copp's 2 assists, Derek Lalonde's squad struggling at 5v5, Ville Husso's up & down game, Jake Walman staying hot, & more (6:10).

Also: Robby Fabbri's strong return (14:50), and Jake Walman & Mo Seider seem to work as a pairing - what gives? Why did the same not go for Ben Chiarot? Is Yzerman's offseason signing of Chiarot still viable if he plays down the lineup next to Hronek (18:15)? We also give credit to Jonatan Berggren & his amazing progression into being a regular NHLer (25:35).

In recent breaking news: Jakub Vrana is a healthy scratch for the Grand Rapids Griffins in the AHL due to the veteran rule. Is there something more to the sniper being scratched while he's supposed to be getting in shape (30:35)?

Dylan Larkin is now a 3x NHL All-Star - are there other Hockeytown names who should be voted in with him? We discuss that, & whether the NHL's changes to the All-Star format will make the game more enjoyable (34:50).

Finally, we take a look at whether Buffalo prospect & Michigan goalie Erik Portillo could be a target for Steve Yzerman to content with Sebastian Cossa (46:35), as well as NHL news including q a look at the playoff race, Florida's potential Connor Bedard problem, Connor McDavid in Edmonton, & so much more (48:50) - enjoy!
