Episode 7 of The Silky Mitten State: A Hockey Podcast About Michigan is live!
On this episode, my co-host Connor Earegood and I run through the week of Red Wings hockey that was, Patrick Kane's debut in Detroit, the state of the Wings' goaltending depth chart, and then take a temperature check on Michigan State, Michigan, and Western Michigan as their first halves wrap up.
On the Red Wing front, we offer our reflections on a disturbing trend of blown leads, Connor Bedard's fledgling NHL career, Alex Lyon vs. Ville Husso, and J.T. Compher's role and value. For Michigan's three top NCAA programs, we chat about strengths and weaknesses heading into the holiday break, including U of M's need to get healthy, the impact of transfer talent at State, and Cameron Rowe's strong form in net for Western.
In the above video excerpt from today's show, we discuss what went wrong in last night's chaotic OT loss to San Jose, weighing a poor performance against generally strong form of late and Detroit's apparent inability to get a game drifting sideways back on track.
