EMERGENCY POD: YZERMAN HIRES DEREK LALONDE - July 1st, 2022

EMERGENCY PODCAST TIME - THE DETROIT RED WINGS HAVE A NEW HEAD COACH! Steve Yzerman has hired Derek Lalonde, (now former) Tampa Bay Lightning assistant coach under Jon Cooper. Tune in as the Winged Wheel Podcast is joined by Prashanth Iyer (and his small special guest) to discuss what Lalonde's hire means for Detroit's future & how his "player's coach" personality will mesh with the likes of Dylan Larkin, Moritz Seider, Lucas Raymond, & the rest of the Red Wings. Plus, hear all about his history of success from the ECHL to Stanley Cups with Tampa, his work with analytics, how he fosters relationships with players, who he might hire as an assistant (Jeff Halpern? David Carle?), and all there is to discuss in this emergency episode of the podcast. Forgive the audio quality, Yzerman caught us on a holiday weekend - like clockwork!
