Another Disheartening Week of Red Wings Hockey, Larkin Shows Leadership on Player Safety, and Team USA WJC Excitement: The Silky Mitten State Episode Nine
Episode Nine of THN Detroit's The Silky Mitten State: A Hockey Podcast About Michigan is live
The latest episode of THN Detroit's podcast The Silky Mitten is live!
In this episode, Connor Earegood and I discuss another disheartening week of Red Wings hockey, before sharing our excitement for the team the US will bring to the World Juniors.
The show starts with a debrief of an 0-3 week for Detroit, culminating in the question: Is goaltending, offense, or defense most concerning for the Red Wings at the moment?
The conversation drifts to the potential introduction of Simon Edvinsson into this lineup, before pivoting to the leadership Dylan Larkin showed in a difficult press conference in which he called out the NHL's apathy toward player safety.
Finally, it's some WJC excitement—from Zeev Buium's blend of skill and physicality, the opportunity awaiting Frank Nazar, and whether Jacob Fowler or Trey Augustine is the Americans' best choice in net.
In the above video clip, you can hear a sampling of our conversation about last night's Red Wings' loss in Winnipeg and the existential questions it raised for a struggling team.
