Episode 4 of the Silky Mitten State: A Hockey Podcast about Michigan is live!
Co-host Connor Earegood and I talk through the week that was for the Detroit Red Wings, reviewing a 5-4 home win over the Blue Jackets and diving into a 5-4 OT loss to Ottawa from Sweden. We discuss the need for improvement from Detroit in the defensive zone, if the team wants to get serious about the playoffs, which segues into a discussion of Simon Edvinsson and the state of the Red Wings' prospect fuel. Finally, we close the show with a quick NCAA round-up, including our preliminary thoughts on a disturbing story out of Michigan Tech.
This is by far the most we've discussed Detroit's prospect pipeline to date, with a particular emphasis on Simon Edvinsson, Carter Mazur, and Marco Kasper.
In the above video excerpt, you can see a portion of our conversation on Detroit's defensive woes against the Senators from their first game in Sweden. You can find the full episode on Spotify and Apple Podcasts:
