Locked On Red Wings - Daily Podcast On The Detroit Red Wings Locked On Podcast Network

Grand Rapids was blanked in Milwaukee in game 5 after dominating most of the game. Groesnick and special teams made the difference. It's a shame too, because it comes after a magical comeback in Van Adel where Berggren and the Griffins combined for 4 goals in 4 minutes to win. But there are some hugely positive takeaways from those games. #lgrw

Will Scouch of Scouching joins us to profile center Michael Hage of the Chicago Steel. The right shot center brings skill and an offensive mind to the game, but does center make sense? Most boards have him in the 20s, would he be a reach? #LGRW

The Griffins sleepwalked through 40 minutes of game two against the Admirals, before waking up in the 3rd to tie it and force OT. But unfortunatley Grand Rapids couldn't beat Afanasyev who scored all 3 for Milwaukee as they now trail 2-1 in the series and face elimination. William Wallinder had an incredible game though with a beautiful assist and a nifty goal himself, and Austin Czarnik wouldn't be outdone either matching that production.

Nikolaj Ehlers is yet again reportedly on the trade block for the Winnipeg Jets. Would the 28 year old winger make a good fit on the Red Wings? What would it take to get him? And what could his next contract look like? #LGRW

The Milwaukee Admirals woke up in game two, routing the Griffins 5-2. Grand Rapids' special teams continue to not be special, while Askarov was in net. Nate Danielson didn't look out of place in his debut, but will definitley take a little bit to adjust. Marco Kasper did have a very strong hame though, despite not showing up on the stat sheet. Simon Edvinsson is day-to-day. #LGRW
