All Routes To Mankato Are Closed: There’s A Killer On The Road

"Little House" never scared me. Sure, when Mary went blind and that little skank Nellie started tricking on her 16th birthday? Disturbing. But never scared, really. It wasn't a scary show. It was family. It was Pa battling a few broken ribs to protect the clan from savage rats. It was Mr. Angel, wasted on corn whiskey but lovable. It was Albert with the lisp stoned to the bejesus belt on morphine up in the hay loft.
The Ingalls sisters stayed grounded. And we loved them for it. But they never had to deal with the likes of a really bad man.
Well, tonite they do. Tonite, Little House is back in a stirring return on FS-Detroit, brought to you by the Bernstein Law Firm and that idiotic sports store who claims "the strike is over." And don't you think for a second it's going to be all giggles and light. No.
The Ingalls sisters leave the innocence of Walnut Grove and travel east to the mean streets of Detroit. It's there that Mary and Laura, together again because they each have agents now, find out that the world can be much more cruel and sinister than just the leering gaze of Nels Olsen at the tail end of a barn dance. Tonite, it's the Ingalls sisters battling a serial killer, a sociopath, a wacked out toothless bearded bastard who wreaked havoc in the Rockies ten years ago and hasn't stopped killing since.
Little Half Pint and her blind dimwitted sister Mary take to the ice in Detroit tonite, a place they could have called home had they not elected to live together in harmony and song for the rest of their Cup-less lives.
Bring it ladies. Our Serial Killer awaits and his brain is squirming like a frigging toad. It's a live blog, bitches.

Damn Q made a good play - - two good plays- - pinch me

would one even get drunk if we slammed on every shot the wings took?
If we downed one for every goal it would be far more effective than a 12-step program.

You’d think it wouldn’t take much to show something as simple as time left on the power play. Thanks for the suck NHL Network.

Ok back to basics…..
Wings -You are playing Ice Hockey - by definition- “a game played on an ice rink in which two teams of six players on skates use curved sticks to try to shoot a puck into the opponent’s goal”
So Put the Puck In the Oponents NET - Thank You!

Yeah I was wondering what happened to the FSD Penalty clock and realized it had been replaced by NHL, Inc.

offsides that arent offsides, penalties a plenty. NHL - we call everything!

All they have to do is use the FSD score bar.

The NHL with a sort of fecal midas touch. Everything it touches turns to shit.
Posted by WestWing from Portland, Oregon on 01/25/13 at 09:08 PM ET
We suck - - have no confidence, playing tentative and with not a whole lot of effort
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 01/25/13 at 09:08 PM ET
Whatever happened to just shooting? Just.. Shoot.. The.. Puck.

Speaking of Fins, can’t we take a look at Teemu Pulkinen?

It’s time to send put Cleary down.
Why do these two posts seem related to me?
Posted by WestWing from Portland, Oregon on 01/25/13 at 09:10 PM ET
fecal midas touch
This explains how Detroit is playing.

YouTube. Beyond that, I got nothing.

We all know the defense is going to struggle but did anyone foresee the offense, or lack thereof, as being so anemic?
Posted by calquake on 01/25/13 at 09:12 PM ET
Looking a lot like the STL game.
Losing puck battles - - and being badly outshot (11-6)
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 01/25/13 at 09:12 PM ET
(MOST OF) THE WINGS PLAYERS ARE BETTER THAN THIS. I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHAT I’M SEEING.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 01/25/13 at 09:13 PM ET
Whatever happened to Tomas Jurco?
Also available on YouTube.

Jurco plays third line in Grand Rapids.

Posted by monkey from All hands, abandon ship. This is not a drill. on 01/25/13 at 08:13 PM ET
Not ripe enough. At least 5 years before we see him.

With Nick, everything ran through the defense. They don’t appear to have changed this system, yet they have no one capable of running it.
Posted by monkey from Finland on 01/25/13 at 09:15 PM ET
Woody Harrelson or Teemu Pulkinen?

He should be ready for some serious third or fourth line minutes by then.
Posted by WestWing from Portland, Oregon on 01/25/13 at 09:16 PM ET
I feel like playing Call of Duty during intermission so at least somebody will be shooting something.

I totally agree. However that doesn’t explain the total lack of puck possession in the O-zone.

For reasons I dont understand,
Mule is the biggest invisible man ever

Only if there are injuries.
