From The Silky Mitten State: In praise of David Perron's on and off ice impact on the Detroit Red Wings

Last Sunday against the Minnesota Wild, Detroit Red Wings forward David Perron scored his 300th career NHL goal, a power play snipe early in the third period, which helped Detroit see out what would become a 4-1 victory.

In the above video (an excerpt from the latest episode of The Silky Mitten State), my cohost Connor Earegood and I discussed Perron's impact for the Red Wings on and off the ice, the subtleties of his game, and the way he's commanded the complete and utter respect of his peers over the course of a decorated career.
