What a return for the Detroit Red Wings, and what a night in the Atlantic Division.

Tune in as we start by discussing Hockeytown's comeback win over the Vancouver Canucks, including Lucas Raymond's unreal goal, Zadorov's suspension for his hit on Raymond, Hronek's stick on Larkin, Detroit's failed power play, DeBrincat fighting again, Seider saving a goal for Lyon, Rasmussen, Sprong, & Kane working to tie the game, & Jake Walman's thrilling penalty shot overtime game winner & subsequent celebration (for the 2nd time on Casey DeSmith) (5:15). We also discuss how Derek Lalonde (despite not calling timeouts) has helped build the Red Wings' resilience (7 comeback wins), where Detroit is in the playoff picture compared to Tampa Bay & Toronto, & the success of the Copp-Rasmussen-Fischer line (30:30).

Next, the hot topic in the NHL: Ridly Greig firing a full slapshot into an empty net and Morgan Rielly cross-checking him in the head for it. Who was in the wrong, and how long of a suspension will Rielly get after his in-person hearing (especially compared to David Perron) (36:50)?

After that, we check in on Dan Watson's Grand Rapids Griffins, as Berggren, Kasper, Lombardi, Cossa, Johansson, Edvinsson & Co. are up to 2nd in the Central (53:55). Also, a note on Emmitt Finnie (1:00:15) before we take your questions and comments during our Overtime segment (1:01:50) - enjoy!
