Larkin's Injury, the Undermanned Red Wings Struggle, and a WJC Look-Ahead: The Silky Mitten State Episode 8

Episode 8 of THN Detroit's The Silky Mitten State

Episode 8 of The Silky Mitten State: A Hockey Podcast About Michigan is live!

My co-host Connor Earegood and I discuss the week that was of Detroit Red Wings hockey, then look-ahead to the fast approaching World Juniors.

We start by discussing Dylan Larkin's frightening injury against the Senators—from the initial hit to David Perron's retaliation to the NHL Department of Player Safety's adjudication.  You can find an excerpt of that conversation in the above video.

From there, we get into the Larkin-less Red Wings struggles against Dallas and Carolina, with a stolen victory against St. Louis mixed in.  After rounding up those results, we chat about Jonatan Berggren's latest NHL cameo and Joe Veleno's growth over the course of the season.

We wrap the show by talking about the Red Wings prospects who will play in the WJC, while focusing on Team USA's camp in nearby Plymouth.
