ALEX DeBRINCAT HAS ARRIVED IN HOCKEYTOWN.

Tune in as we recap the Detroit Red Wings and their start to the 2023/2024 NHL season, starting with some fresh arena goal horn & goal song (we see you, Eminem) updates that make the LCA sound a bit more like Joe Louis Arena (6:15). Next, a recap of Steve Yzerman's squad's home opener win over Tampa Bay & loss against New Jersey, including Alex DeBrincat's goal scoring prowess, Lucas Raymond flipping guys and scoring goals, Dylan Larkin creating the top line connection, Daniel Sprong scoring without shooting, Jake Walman & Moritz Seider's dominance, Compher, Gostisbehere, & others contributing, & lots more (14:55). Additionally, a look into Detroit's defensive woes, whether Simon Edvinsson could swap in for Petry, Maatta, Chiarot, or Holl, Derek Lalonde carrying 12-6 vs. 11-7, & more (28:20).

Next, an update from the AHL as the Grand Rapids Griffins get off to a great start thanks to the likes of Simon Edvinsson, Sebastian Cossa, Jonatan Berggren, & more future Red Wings (39:50).

We're also joined by Max Bultman of The Athletic Detroit to discuss his season predictions for the Red Wings, his thoughts on the start to the year, Moritz Seider's contract comparables, & lots more (41:20).

Next, we continue the Seider contract conversation (Dahlin, Power, Sanderson, & other comparables) (1:09:30) then jump into some NHL news (1:17:25) before we take your questions and comments during Overtime (1:23:00) - enjoy!
