Episode Three of The Silky Mitten State: A Hockey Podcast About Michigan is live wherever you get your podcasts, as long as you get your podcasts, as long as you get your podcasts through either Apple or Spotify.
My co-host Connor Earegood and I talk through the mixed bag that was the last week of Detroit Red Wings hockey, then touch on a couple of college hockey topics from around the great state of Michigan.
We get started by reviewing a week that started with a bang in the form of a Saturday night win over Boston and ended with a whimper in an overtime loss to Montreal last night.
Then, we discuss our confidence in Detroit's goaltending, Robby Fabbri's role moving forward, and our thoughts on the back half of the Red Wings' defensive depth chart.
From there, it's on to a quick review of the early season results from Michigan Tech and Western Michigan (with much more optimism in the latter case than the former), before considering whether Michigan State's relative dominance against (to varying degrees) lesser competition or their sweep at the hands of Boston College is a better reflection of where the Spartans are. Then we wrap by weighing in on our level of concern about Michigan after some early season losses.
