		<title>The Call-Up I Should&#8217;ve Declined</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
Here&#8217;s my favourite call-up story:
As you probably know by now, I&#8217;m engaged to Clark Gillies Daughter, Brianna.
At the time of this story, I was playing for the Utah Grizzlies of the ECHL (that&#8217;s me on the left, shortly before my coach became the 64th one I&#8217;ve had tell me to smile less.  Hey, I like [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;ll Take Potpourri For A Thousand, Alex</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
Not that my blog is particularly focused in the first place, but I&#8217;m due to unload a whole crapload of half-baked thoughts.  Some may be on the same page as you, some may be a complete waste of seconds of your life, but hey &#8211; I&#8217;m pretty sure it was the variable interval schedule of rewards that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Options For Avenging a Cheapshot Are Pretty Limited</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
Interesting timing &#8211; I was going through some columns that I had deemed unfit to release from a few months ago, and found this one about what David Booth can do to avenge getting his brain shaken by Mike Richards (short answer: nothing).  But after Matt Cooke played the role of Richards in a recent re-enactment with [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Little Insight Into &#8220;Show Dough&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
Occassionally, I&#8217;m going to do a little feature called call-up madness, explained, where I&#8217;ll answer any questions you have (email me) about what goes on behind the scenes of an NHL farm system.  Today, I&#8217;ll talk about something I never personally got to experience, but still know how it works from being around it.  You [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Trade Deadline Ends. Thankfully.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
Not sure if you caught it yesterday, but David Booth squared up and fought Mike Richards last night, which was the greatest thing in the history of the NHL ever.  I think.  Oh, and he had a goal and three assists.  And he&#8217;s on my fantasy hockey team.  I love David Booth.
Puttin&#39; on the foil.
Think Team [...]]]></description>

		<title>Trade Deadline Live Blog</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
There&#8217;s nothing more deflating than waking up for the ever-exciting trade deadline day and realizing it probably won&#8217;t be that exciting, ever.
That said, there&#8217;s too many teams missing puzzle pieces for nothing to happen, so let&#8217;s hold our breath until it does, and talk it out here &#8212; LIVE BLOG, WEEEE!
The radio portion of Hockey [...]]]></description>

		<title>Buy and Sell: Some NHL Teams As Stocks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
Snap back to reality, and just like that, the multicolored rings, skin-tight lycra and Giant Inflatable Beavers are a thing of the past.  Last night, the puck dropped on Colorado &#8211; Detroit, and some very important points changed hands.
Before last nights NHL game, I was seriously contemplating putting a chunk of money down on Detroit, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>Team Canada Finds Olympic Glory</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
First, a major thank-you to the Americans and all the other countries for being, from what I&#8217;ve read, great guests up in Vancouver, BC.  After starting the Olympics on such a horrible, sad note, it sounds to me like things pulled together nicely, save for a few not-so-serious gaffes. 
Apparently security did a wonderful job of keeping [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Golden Thought: Do We All Win With a US Victory?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
This is just a thought, Canadians, so take a xanax, have a glass of wine, and give the logic a chance:
We love us some hockey north of the border.  Air, ball, bubble, floor, roller, dome, knee, tonsil, ice, field, whatever, the prefix isn’t important, as long as it ends in “hockey”, we’re down.
So when our [...]]]></description>

		<title>Canadian Women, Olympic Questions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
First, here&#8217;s the link to my article for The Hockey News, explaining why Canadians want the US hockey team to fall on their keys (that really hurts, BTW).
*****
I am officially a fan of the Canadian women&#8217;s hockey team.  Honestly, that gold medal celebration got them goalie bags full of street (rink?) cred, as far as I&#8217;m concerned.
Women&#8217;s sports [...]]]></description>
