Tune in as we open by discussing Steve Yzerman signing Michael Rasmussen to a 4 year extension worth $3.2 million per season: initial reactions to the deal, Rasmussen's path to get to this point, his role on the Red Wings, his importance to Hockeytown's future, how other players might compare (Veleno), & overall value (4:45).

Next, we discuss Detroit's win over Seattle as an octopus hit the ice once again on the road: Alex Lyon keeping the Red Wings in it, Seider's goal and Patrick Kane's 800th assist, Raymond & Sprong scoring, & Larkin's feed to Chiarot for the OT winner (17:30). Next, a look at Detroit's schedule & playoff positioning, then thoughts on Lucas Raymond's (breakout?) season and Detroit's depth in scoring across the board beyond just Larkin and DeBrincat (25:45).

After that, some NHL Trade Deadline updates (Hanifin? Pittsburgh firesale?) & discussion on the potential for All-Star Games or other events coming to Detroit in the future (36:40), more NHL news (Byfield's goal, Bettman upholding Rielly's suspension) (45:45) & lots more before we take your questions and comments during our Overtime segment (51:50) - enjoy!
