Prospect Pulse: Ben Blood
In addition to having a very hockey name, Ben Blood also possesses a strong hockey acumen. A strong defensive prospect, this Senators prospect is currently playing in the USHL for the Des Moines Buccaneers. Drafted 120th overall in 2007, Blood will play the current season in Des Moines before moving on the University of North Dakota.Strong on his skates and sound positionally, Blood is a calm presence on the blue line. As such, he is used extensively on specialty teams. Offensively, Blood has a cannon of a shot that he is able to unload quickly. He distributes the puck well and can be used as a shooter. In his own zone, Blood is able to clear the front of the net effectively and uses his strong positional play to angle off opponents. Though Blood could use his 6'3, 215 lb frame a little more, but this is a minor flaw in his game.

It looks like Minnesota is

It looks like Minnesota is the place to drive under the influence of alcohol. A big thank you to liberal judges that buy into the smoke and mirrors of soulless defense attornies : ). Citizens should feel much more unsafe.

No one knows exactly how many local suspected drunken drivers
may have gotten to keep their license or had a criminal charge thrown out because of a legal battle over the DWI (driving while intoxicated) testing instrument, but it’s safe to say hundreds of south metro cases have been impacted.
