Episode 44 - LinkedIn Deep

On this episode, since the Red Wings play the Tampa Bay Lightning twice in the first two weeks of November, the PFH Podcast teams up with Boomer of Bolts Breakdown to break down the major storylines around this Lightning team. From Nikita Kucherov to Julien BriseBois to Jon Cooper, we cover many common themes of the team's success in this first installment of our 2026-27 Home-and-Home Series. After that, a brief standings and basic stats review, followed by some even more brief comments about the player transactions of the past week.

On this episode, the drama wheel turns around and around, as the Dylan Larkin saga reaches its penultimate act. Larkin, via his agent, informed the team that he will no longer be reporting to team activity. Jack discusses that saga in detail and attempts to provide a moderating voice for those who say "let him rot." We also discuss the early returns of the Shawn Horcoff era and pick some nits with the way things are being run.

On this episode, Nick Harrington of the Hockeytown West Podcast joins the program to discuss all things Grand Rapids Griffins. Nick and the team at Hockeytown West provide the most hands-on coverage of the minor league affiliates of the Detroit Red Wings out there, and our conversation ranges from past to present, from prospect to veteran, and many things in between. After that, we celebrate the signing of Alex DeBrincat to a long-term extension as a Detroit Red Wing, but does that come with an expectation of success? Finally, we broach the Simon Edvinsson topic once more given the news he is now stateside.

On this episode, we can finally talk some puck!! The 2026-27 Detroit Red Wings season has begun, and boy howdy does it feel strange. After the first Race to Three of the season, we discuss each game in brief detail and talk about a couple very early data points for this team through 3 games. Then, of course, we turn our focus back to the off-ice news - though still comically out-of-touch, not all of the news is bad this time!! Hallelujah.

Host note - something went wrong with the first upload of this episode and the introduction got completely screwed up. This is a re-upload of the season preview for the record; you may disregard if you already suffered through the botched intro. Thanks for listening!On this episode, the ever-timely PFH Podcast (lol) engages in a full-on preview of the 2026-27 Detroit Red Wings season. We all know of the unfinished business that this franchise has yet to achieve - namely signing its #2 defenseman and trading its #1 center - but despite that, we're going to look forward by looking backward. Since there was not much turnover from year to year, a deep dive into the 2025-26 season is in order, because the best predictor of the future is the past (especially in Detroit these days). What reason can any Red Wings fan have for caring about this season amidst all this turmoil and mismanagement? Tune in to find out!!

In this special "After Dark" edition of the PFH Podcast, Jack has a few choice words about the Simon Edvinsson situation devolving to a point where the player would "prefer to be traded," according to Elliotte Friedman. It's all just so tiresome.

On this episode, the silence has been broken! Chris Ilitch speaks on the management situation after taking the entire offseason to fire Steve Yzerman and hire ... an interim General Manager. Shawn Horcoff will assume GM responsibilities while the GM search stretches on into the regular season, and boy do we have opinions about that. BUT FIRST, Dylan Larkin has finally broken his silence to the Detroit beat writers! ... to say absolutely nothing of substance. But hey, at least Todd's back! This is going to be a painful episode, but a necessary one on the doorstep of the 2026-27 season.

On this episode, Jack has a discussion with Matthew Meyer of the always-engaging Red Wings Diehards account on X about the press release from the team that reveals that Dylan Larkin is coming back to training camp but will not be wearing a C on his sweater. Is this the first step towards reconciliation between him and the team, or is this just a move that delays the decision-making until there is a GM in place to make it. Also in this episode is a brief recap of the prospect series games, and a few words about the passing of Barry Melrose.

After many days away, the PFH Podcast returns in a big way! In this episode, Jack goes down the rabbit hole, wading through a pile of research into the differences between the Tampa Bay version of GM Steve Yzerman and the Detroit version of GM Steve Yzerman. We go over the situations inherited from the respective predecessors, and the key figures in supporting roles in the front offices. In each case, we examine the major moves that defined each administration through a lens of value creation, all in an attempt to answer one key question: why was the championship pedigree in Tampa Bay not replicated here in Detroit. Over the course of 100 minutes of podcasting, no stone is left unturned.
