The Knee Jerks - Eno And Big Al

This week is a Detroit Red Wings-centric episode of The Knee Jerks, featuring an interview with former Wings forward Bill Lochead. Bill spent four seasons with the Red Wings in the 1970's, best remembered for scoring two goals in Detroit's first round series deciding 3-2 game three victory over the Atlanta Flames at Olympia Stadium in 1977. His series winning goal is still fondly remembered by many Red Wing fans, including a young Eno and Big Al. Bill went on to play for the Rockies and Rangers before finishing his career in Europe, where he became a coach and eventually, a player agent. We then dive into a Red Wings season preview with the 3rd Jerk, our Bleacher Report insider Matt Hutter. Matt gives his thoughts on the coming season, the team's ongoing youth movement and tells us if this team is playoff bound. In the second half of the show, Eno and Big Al cover the Detroit Tigers getting swept out of the ALCS by the Baltimore Orioles, the mess that has become the University of Michigan football program,
