It's a stretch, but a little ironic to consider that the Wings head to Walnut Grove today, the little town that ripped the Ingalls sisters out of the grasp of Mike Ilitch in 2012. As you'll joyfully recall, Mr. I, Tick Tock and Chris Chelios flew Red Wing 1 to Madison in early July that year, believing that a personal visit would convince Ryan Suter that Hockeytown should be his home.
It wasn't enough, of course.
Suter clutched Parise's pocket and dutifully followed him to Minnesota. The Wild haven't won squat since and, come to think of it in a belly-laugh kind of way, neither have the Wings.
