The Red Wings are one of the strangest teams in the NHL right now. 
 By straight win percentage, Detroit ranks like a top-10 team. But watch the games — or just check the box scores — and you see a team that either plays fast, structured, playoff-caliber hockey … or completely falls apart for long stretches.
In this episode, we break down why the Wings keep swinging between dominant and disastrous, including:
<h3> Why their win percentage paints a WAY better picture than their actual record</h3>
The standings favor loser points — we don’t. When you sort the NHL by actual wins per game, Detroit sits in the top third of the league.
<h3> The goaltending problem that’s draining winnable games</h3>
John Gibson allows 4 goals on 1.86 expected against Chicago.
 Talbot and Gibson rank bottom-10 in Goals Saved Above Expected.
 Detroit has the 6th-worst team save percentage.
 This team isn’t getting average goaltending — and it’s costing them points.
<h3> Why the Red Wings get tons of possession but no scoring</h3>
Detroit is top-10 in:
<ul>
 	<li>Corsi For %</li>
 	<li>Fenwick For %</li>
</ul>
But near the bottom in:
<ul>
 	<li>High-danger chances created</li>
 	<li>High-danger shooting percentage</li>
</ul>
They generate quantity, not quality — a huge problem for a team missing finishers outside of Larkin and DeBrincat.
<h3> What’s wrong with the top six?</h3>
<ul>
 	<li>Emmitt Finnie may be skating hard, but is there enough skill next to Larkin and Kane?</li>
 	<li>Raymond is still recovering.</li>
 	<li>Kasper looks like a passenger, not a driver.</li>
 	<li>Patrick Kane is back, but still not at full speed — and the power play looks lost without his timing.</li>
</ul>
<h3> Why this might be mental, not just talent</h3>
Todd McLellan has already said it:
 Detroit still struggles with game management, consistency, and responding to adversity.
 They look great when they’re “on”…
 …and downright broken when they’re “off.”

Detroit ranks like a top-10 team. But watch the games — or just check the box scores — and you see a team that either plays fast, structured, playoff-caliber hockey … or completely falls apart for long stretches.


Red Wings Are a Top-10 Win Percentage Team | Why Do They Keep Falling Apart?

The Detroit Red Wings finish their five-game road trip sitting second in the Atlantic Division — and the analytics show exactly why. Detroit currently sits around 51.5% in expected goals for percentage (xGF%) at both five-on-five and all strengths, signaling a team that’s genuinely driving play and out-chancing opponents most nights.
But dig deeper, and the cracks appear: Detroit’s high-danger scoring chance percentage dips below 50%, and their high-danger shooting percentage ranks in the league’s bottom third. Meanwhile, they’re above 50% in both medium- and low-danger shot possession, meaning they’re getting volume — just not finishing quality looks.
It’s a sign of a team that needs its high-end creators — Patrick Kane and Lucas Raymond — back to convert those elite chances. Even so, this year’s 51.5% expected goals share marks a major leap forward for Detroit and helps explain why they’re staying near the top of the standings despite average PDO and inconsistent goaltending.

Red Wings Are Driving Play — Now It’s About Finishing the High-Danger Chances

Red Wings Wrap Up Road Trip Strong | Gibson Shines in Vegas Loss | What's Next at Home

The Detroit Red Wings’ rollercoaster start to the season continues — but this week, it’s all trending upward.
After being booed off home ice, Todd McLellan’s explosive timeout lit a fire under Detroit, leading to a six-goal comeback and a dominant 5-2 follow-up in St. Louis. Matt and Mike dive into what Max Bultman called “the night that showed both sides” of this team — one that can look disjointed and unstoppable in the same 60 minutes.
We’ll break down:
<ul>
 	<li>McLellan’s message behind the mouth-covered timeout rant and how accountability fuels this group </li>
 	<li>Dylan Larkin’s MVP-level start (8 goals, 8 assists through 10 games) and why he’s dragging this team into relevance </li>
 	<li>Alex DeBrincat’s breakout and rediscovered rhythm </li>
 	<li>The Edvinsson-Seider pairing’s impact and the power play’s resurgence </li>
 	<li>The Gibson/Talbot goaltending puzzle and what it means for consistency </li>
 	<li>Grand Rapids Griffins’ undefeated start — John Leonard’s tear, Carter Mazur’s injury, and Nate Danielson’s rise </li>
</ul>
Heading into a tough West Coast trip (LA, Anaheim, San Jose, Vegas), the Wings sit second in the Atlantic with 14 points and the league’s eighth-best record. The question now: can they turn this from a hot start into a sustained run?

After getting booed off the ice, Detroit stormed back to dominate the Blues in back-to-back games — now they head West riding momentum, lessons, and an MVP-level performance from their captain.

Red Wings Rise Again: McLellan’s Timeout, Larkin’s MVP Pace, and Lessons from a 7–3 Start

The Detroit Red Wings’ five-game win streak is over — but the message from Todd McLellan is loud and clear. After a 4-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres, Matt and Mike break down what went wrong, what still looks strong, and what this team must fix to keep their hot start alive.
In this episode of Red Wings Rant, we react to Max Bultman’s latest reporting on the Sabres game, dive into McLellan’s postgame comments about preparation and focus, and examine why structure and pace remain the Red Wings’ biggest strengths — and their biggest vulnerabilities.
From John Gibson’s tough night to the penalty kill’s consistency, to how much Patrick Kane’s absence hurts the power play, we explore how Detroit stacks up against the Atlantic — and why this loss might be the wake-up call they need.

From a home opener collapse to a goalie-driven back-to-back sweep, Detroit’s first week of the season reveals both promise and pitfalls.


Red Wings Reality Check: What the Buffalo Loss Reveals About Detroit’s Hot Start

Hi everybody, and welcome to Red Wings Rant: Where tirades and impassioned pleas about your Detroit Red Wings finally have a home. Matt and Mike are back from Little Caesars Arena — and the Detroit Red Wings are officially on a roll. After taking down the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers 4-1, the Wings have now strung together three straight wins to move to 3-1-0.
The guys break down what it was like inside the arena, who passed the eyeball test (spoiler: Axel Sandin-Pellikka looked like a seasoned pro), and how Todd McLellan’s influence is already showing up in the details. We’ll talk about Mason Appleton’s incredible two-goal night, Dylan Larkin’s quietly dominant start, and how Patrick Kane and Alex DeBrincat keep piling on the points. Plus, we’ll spotlight Detroit’s penalty kill — now sitting near 90% — looking heavier, smarter, and more responsible than it’s been in years. Finally, we’ll look ahead to the next test: Tampa Bay, Edmonton, and Buffalo. Are the Red Wings for real, or is this just an early-season flash?
Matt and Mike break it all down from rinkside. JOIN THE DISCORD: https://discord.gg/rd2RUDkzuS Let’s have fun!
