Red Wings Rant - Episode 59 Season 2

Red Wings Rant Podcast

Hi everybody and welcome to Episode 59 of Season 2 of Red Wings Rant hosted by the Brothers of Discussion and brought to you by the Hockey Podcast Network. Where tirades and impassioned pleas about your Detroit Red Wings, finally, have a home.

Red Wings Hire Alex Tanguay

The Red Wings have hired a new Assistant Bench Boss in Assistant Head Coach, Alex Tanguay. As Assistant Head Coach, Alex Tanguay will be in charge of the Forwards and the Power Play. Alex Tanguay coached for the Iowa Wild and handled their power play for the last two seasons. His strategies lead to the Iowa Wild having the 5th best Power Play in the AHL.

Tanguay played the majority of his career with the Colorado Avalanche from 1999-2016. Over his career, Alex Tanguay amassed 244 Power Play points.

Reports Coming in Keith Petruzzelli will not sign with Red Wings

Red Wings are also moving away from their top goaltender prospect (arguably) in Keith Petruzzelli. The 22-Year-Old Goalie Prospect just finished a fantastic season with Quinnipiac in the NCAA. Petruzzelli had a .926 Save Percentage with a 1.89 GAA.

Keith Petruzzelli was drafted in the 2017 draft in the 3rd round. His 6'5" frame had a lot to do with his draft selection. Since he has elevated his play in the NCAA over the course of four seasons, one would expect him to find a job somewhere.
