		<title>Oh, and That&#8217;s 40</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So my brothers last post might not have been too accurate, I think the Bolts may want to make the playoffs. In the last two games the Bolts have scored 10 goals. Now I&#8217;m not going to attribute this success to the trade made for Teddy Purcell, but his impact is already visible. In last [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bolts Don&#8217;t Want To Be In The Playoffs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Bolts lost last night 5-4 to the Washington Capitals at the Verizon Center.  With the loss the Bolts move 3 points out of the 8th playoff spot, with 19 games remaining.
The game was very chippy, due to the last meeting between the two teams at the St Pete Times Forum, but surprisingly didn&#8217;t feature [...]]]></description>

		<title>Teddy Purcell Breakdown</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After trading Jeff Halpern yesterday, I took a look at the NHL stats for Teddy Purcell, and they seemed to be quite modest at best. After reading a few more articles and pieces on Purcell, it became clear that he had way more upside then his limited stat total in LA seemed to indicate.  THN.com [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lightning Trade Jeff Halpern</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just got an update that the Bolts have moved Jeff Halpern to the Los Angeles Kings for forward Teddy Purcell and a 3rd round pick.
Let&#8217;s hope that Mike Smith turns into our goaltender of the future because the trade that sent Brad Richards to the Stars and landed us Jussi Jokinen (who we inexplicably put [...]]]></description>

		<title>Just Pitiful</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Bolts lost last night to the Philadelphia Flyers 7-2 in a game that I would have considered a must win for the Bolts.  Only 2 of our remaining 20 games are against Western Conference opponents, and out of those 18 games, 9 are against teams that we are fighting for playoff spots against, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Punched In The Gut</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was talking with a good friend before yesterdays goal medal tilt with the Canadiens, trying to summarize my level of excitement for the game.  My friend, said he hadn&#8217;t been this excited for a hockey game since the Bolts were in the Stanley Cup Finals.  I personally felt that even then, I didn&#8217;t have [...]]]></description>

		<title>SPANKING!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With a 6-1 walloping of the Fin&#8217;s yesterday in semifinal play, the US moves to the gold medal round on Sunday @ 3pm EST.
This was a completely one sided affair almost from the start.  The US looked hungry, and the Fins made some early mistakes coupled with some awful goaltending and the game was a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Quarterfinal Wednesday Superb</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There have been a few monikers already labeled on most of the days of hockey thusfar in the Olympics, Super Sunday, Wonderful Wednesday, etc.  I&#8217;m not sure what to exactly call yesterday, but I must say that I was pretty excited to sit down and watch 4 hockey games between the top 8 teams in [...]]]></description>

		<title>This Was Not The Miracle On Ice</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had never been more excited for a Winter Olympics than this year.  It wasn&#8217;t for the chance to win the overall medal count, or to see Bode Miller or Shaun White wreak havoc, it was for one thing, and one thing only, the United States Olympic Hockey Team.  I thought Brian Burke did a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Two Bolts Score Goals In 1st Round of Games</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As everyone knows by now, the Bolts have 4 players representing their team in Vancouver.  God knows why Steven Stamkos isn&#8217;t among those players, but representing our team and their respective countries are Andrej Meszaros, Mattias Ohlund, Ryan Malone and Antero Niittymaki.
In the USA&#8217;s first game a 3 to 1 victory for the good guys, [...]]]></description>
