Before we jump into Detroit Red Wings talk, Evan has returned with some exciting news! (00:00)

We then jump back to hockey by discussing whether the fears of injury or wear & tear for Dylan Larkin, Lucas Raymond, Moritz Seider, Patrick Kane, and the rest of the Hockeytown Olympic hopefuls are overblown or a legitimate concern. Will Todd McLellan's squad hold tough, or will another bout of injuries leave the scoring to the like of Alex DeBrincat, Simon Edvinsson, Marco Kasper, and the rest of the Red Wings? (7:15)

Next, we compare where Steve Yzerman's Detroit Red Wings are relative to Suzuki, Caufield, Hutson and the Montreal Canadiens, Tkachuk, Stutzle and the Ottawa Senators, and Dahlin's Buffalo Sabres. What does Steve Yzerman need to do to match the talent levels of Demidov & Co., or are Danielson, Sandin Pellikka, Brandsegg-Nygard, & the rest of the Red Wings pipeline more than enough? (21:40)

Finally, notes on the Red Wings broadcast schedule & how much of Ken Daniels & Mickey Redmond we'll see, some quick NHL news, & more (47:30) before we take your questions and comments in our Overtime segment (56:35) - enjoy!
