Lunatic & tiny goalie fetishist - no, I am definitely not pretty, single or SFW.

My latest is up in https://t.co/FjLmi4g0si- Week 8 NFL picks & spread aversion therapy! https://t.co/bLzEmqZd0j #NFL #Swearing #Funny #picks

[Nina Illingworth @IcePuckChic]

On paper, the Lions have a good chance of winning 9 games; but my friend, this team EXISTS to nut-punch ppl counting on them. Caveat emptor https://t.co/eRDw8C19fS

Is that smart? @CardboardWitch https://t.co/OXvierOe8S

[Nina Illingworth @IcePuckChic]

@txsparty I'm really looking forward to Kronwall playing like 35 games but counting full against the cap b/c he's too proud to "retire" to LTIR

[Nina Illingworth @IcePuckChic]

@txsparty "I hate you Kyle, so very, very much..."

:)

[Nina Illingworth @IcePuckChic]

You just gotta learn to block/receive and move to fullback; Marcus Allen style. https://t.co/i9yQFA2r1I

I'm bummed to be turning 30 only because it means my best days as an NFL running back are already behind me.

Ice cold @drpepper here!

[Nina Illingworth @IcePuckChic]

Basically, as much as I like him as a person - we shoulda fired Holland; this is all about getting him one last deep run - NOT the team. https://t.co/pNw0lEb1d9

[Nina Illingworth @IcePuckChic]

I'm telling ya, Holland is gonna let him play - he'll give us about 22 good games, 20 shit ones and finish the year in IR anyway. https://t.co/pNw0lEb1d9

[Nina Illingworth @IcePuckChic]

But like Kronwall why is Kronwall not on IR? Why is it his choice? He will ABSOLUTELY fail a physical so why aren't we FORCING him to LTIR? https://t.co/cB8Gl9EuqQ

[Nina Illingworth @IcePuckChic]

I mean Leafs managed to essentially do a 3 yr rebuild with terrible contracts but Holland has too much respect to Robidas Island these guys https://t.co/cB8Gl9EuqQ

[Nina Illingworth @IcePuckChic]

Yeah, but ultimately the real issue is length - the worst part about some of Kenny's deals is they'll still be on the books AFTER a tank. https://t.co/cB8Gl9EuqQ

[Nina Illingworth @IcePuckChic]

You're not gonna fill those needs without top 5 picks. Not top 10. Top 5.

We should be tanking so hard right now; but Ken Holland too proud https://t.co/mUbw5jFuxB

[Nina Illingworth @IcePuckChic]

I don't think the kid we just drafted is a 1C; but realistically we need a 1C and a new top pair on defense, plus, probably another goalie. https://t.co/mUbw5jFuxB

[Nina Illingworth @IcePuckChic]

Open tanking. I would literally have traded away every NHL body I could; aside from Larkin, nobody on the squad has a future in Det atm. https://t.co/mUbw5jFuxB

[Nina Illingworth @IcePuckChic]

No. We already have about 9 million 3rd pair guys. https://t.co/Dbnw9AzBFR

[George Malik @georgemalik]

Do You Want Alexey Marchenko Back With The Wings? https://t.co/8FsANtw97x

[Nina Illingworth @IcePuckChic]

@Kevinjdd Me too. ppl say a guy "never gave up on a play" but with Houston, that's what you got ever down. Guy deserved better than how it ended.

[Nina Illingworth @IcePuckChic]

Whelp, let's hope the rumors about the Lions aren't true because I'm already 100% sure I don't want this guy on our team after this. https://t.co/aaxFr8fKVG

[Mike Garafolo @MikeGarafolo]

Ike Taylor on @NFLTotalAccess says Le'Veon Bell told him he wants to be paid as No. 1 RB PLUS a No. 2 WR (his 75 rec were 2nd most for PIT)

[Nina Illingworth @IcePuckChic]

At what point does someone kick in Sakic's door and take away the keys? Dude has botched all of this so very, very badly. https://t.co/SQIz4jmoHE

[Down Goes Brown @DownGoesBrown]

(Not listed in that post: Matt Duchene, whose odds of playing out his remaining days with the Avalanche appear to be roughly 100%.)

[Nina Illingworth @IcePuckChic]

Maybe that risk/reward ratio is better for another team; for us? Right now? Trying to build a whole new team & resultant culture? Not really

[Nina Illingworth @IcePuckChic]

I can tell you this right now; even if EVERYTHING clicks, the kid is not gonna be the next Carey Price & we STILL lose more than 40G next yr

[Nina Illingworth @IcePuckChic]

and if he works out for another team? Okay then; good for him, I don't hate the kid - but that's NOT gonna happen without changes.
