Latest episode: Former Red Wing Bill Lochead and Matt Hutter's 2014-15 preview!

Lochead's series-winner in the 1978 first round vs. Atlanta
Some 36 years ago, Bill Lochead scored a goal that was, at the time, the signature goal for the Red Wings franchise when it came to the baby boomer fans who suffered through bad hockey throughout the 1970s.

Lochead's goal late in the third period of Game 2 of the preliminary round of the 1978 playoffs at Olympia Stadium knocked out the Atlanta Flames, as the Red Wings swept the best-of-three mini-series.

Lochead, who scored 20 goals that season, eventually made more of a name for himself playing in Europe, where he also coached.

Today, Lochead is a player agent. And he joins Eno and Big Al on the latest episode of "The Knee Jerks."

Bill talks about that famous goal and other trips down memory lane, regaling us with stories of old-time hockey.

Joining us for the Lochead interview is our Red Wings and NHL Insider, Matt Hutter, who sticks around to preview the 2014-15 squad.

All that, plus the sad exit of the Tigers from the playoffs and the Lions' meltdown against Buffalo, plus the ugliness that is Michigan football, are all part of our latest episode.

As usual, "Whose Birthday Is It?" and "Jerk of the Week" are included.
