		<title>2010 Pan Pacific Swimming Championships in Irvine, California</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Pan Pacific championships had only been held in the United States one other time since they started in 1985 (they were in Atlanta, GA in 1995). Swimming is one of my favorite Summer Olympic sports, so when I saw that the championships were going to be a few miles away (and practically on my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kovalchuk Finally Signed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Kovalchuk is staying with the Devils. He&#8217;s got a 17 year contract, but we know they don&#8217;t expect him to be playing when he&#8217;s 44. The Devils just want the annual cap hit to be as low as possible. Kings fans are surely upset that they can&#8217;t order the Kings Kovalchuk jersey they wanted, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>Not the End of the World, Kings Fans</title>
		<description><![CDATA[All the LA Kings fans seem to be going crazy over the idea that Ilya Kovalchuk looks like he probably won’t be in a Kings jersey next season. I’d like to remind the Kings fans that this would not be the end of the world. Last season, Kovalchuk wasn’t a part of the Kings organization. [...]]]></description>

		<title>What a Week of NHL Events!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The NHL Awards and Draft were in the same week this year, making it easier for those coming from the east and north to Las Vegas for the Awards and Los Angeles for the Entry Draft. It was a bit of a crazy week for everyone, but definitely exciting. This year’s show seemed a bit [...]]]></description>

		<title>2010 NHL Draft in LA</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There were a lot more fans at Staples Center today for the 2010 NHL Draft than I&#8217;d anticipated. The Kings fans are incredibly loyal, but the Kings didn&#8217;t have a high pick and no one was really sure how many fans would turn up. I certainly didn&#8217;t expect 11,000 fans (the approximate number the Kings [...]]]></description>

		<title>After Forty-nine Years the Stanley Cup is Going Back to Chicago</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Chicago Blackhawks hadn’t won the Stanley Cup since 1961, though they’d been in the Finals 5 times since then. I predicted Blackhawks in 6, but had my doubts when the Flyers tied the game and took it into overtime. Patrick Kane scored the Stanley Cup winning goal in overtime of game six of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>2010 Finals</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was 100% right for the winners of the last round, but was drastically off for the number of games it would take each team. I thought the Blackhawks (who swept the Sharks) would need 6 games to eliminate the Sharks. I thought the Flyers/Habs series would go to 7 after the road the Flyers [...]]]></description>

		<title>Blackhawks Sweep Sharks Out of the Water</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Sharks may have had home ice advantage in their first conference finals since 2004, but that didn’t matter to the determined Chicago Blackhawks. The Sharks took the early lead and even went so far as to lead game four 2-0, but the Blackhawks came back to take the only lead that mattered – the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Three Comebacks After Being Down 3-1?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Canadiens have been down 3-1 in a series heading to their opponent’s arena twice already this post-season. One of the teams they were down 3-1 to had even shut them out at home (the Penguins did it in game 3 last round). The question is how long can their luck hold out? I’m sure [...]]]></description>

		<title>2010 Conference Finals Predictions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I only got 50% of the teams moving on to the conference finals correct and I was wasn’t exactly right on either of them. I predicted that the Flyers would beat the Bruins in 6 (not 7) and that the Blackhawks would need 7 (not 6) games to eliminate the Canucks. I thought the Penguins [...]]]></description>
