		<title>Message sent, Message delivered</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, I think the message from Mike Babcock truly got through to the Wings, and they in turn sent a message to the rest of the league Sunday.
It may have only been one win, but to take down one of the top teams in the entire league should have the rest of the NHL taking [...]]]></description>

		<title>Inconsistant Wings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First I would like to say that the win last night against Nashville was great. The Wings responded nicely to Mike Babcock&#8217;s challenge regarding intensity and playing with a sense of urgency.
I hope that it sinks in for more than one game because this bi-polar Wings team is really making me nervous. I still think [...]]]></description>

		<title>Welcome back!!!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With the end of the Olympic games, the Red Wings got the final 21 games of the season started out with a bang last night, going into Denver and earning a 3-2 win over the Avs.
With the Wings almost at full strength, I think we saw the team that coach Mike Babcock felt he had [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Life of Brian</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This last week has been a big one for US Hockey, and a big part of that has been due in part to the hot streak by one of our Hockeytown Heroes.
With four goals in two games, including two tonight against Canada in the stunning upset of one of the gold medal favorites, Brian Rafalski [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sneak Peek???</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, here we are at the Olympic Break and the Wings are still fighting for their playoff lives. As negative as that may sound, I am actually quite pleased with the state of Hockeytown at this moment.
The Wings&#8217; convincing win over Ottawa to close out the pre-Olympic part of the schedule was a thing of beauty, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Good Timing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, after another game where the Red Wings made a valiant run, but yet again came up short, we get a shot at the team that seems to make us in Hockeytown feel that our beloved heroes can do something if they can just make the playoffs.
The San Jose Sharks are comming into The Joe [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s not how you start</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Saturday&#8217;s game against the Kings was a classic illustration of the old saying &#8220;It&#8217;s not how you start, it&#8217;s how you finish.
I am hoping that adadge will be the one that describes the Wings 2009-10 season.
Today&#8217;s loss was tough and it took me a few hours to at least be able to write about it. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tough tough decisions ahead and I still hate Penguins!!!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am not  totally upset about Sunday&#8217;s loss to Pittsburgh, although it would have been a great win.
Despite the shutout loss, the Wings once again proved to be competitive against one of the top teams in the NHL. The thing that got to me was seeing the two whinny girls (Sydney Crosby and Evgeni Mulkin) [...]]]></description>

		<title>battered, but not beaten</title>
		<description><![CDATA[sThis has been a tough week in Hockeytown full of could of, should ofs and would ofs.
Despite still being on the outside looking in, I am still standing my ground that the Wings are still going to make the playoffs and keep the streak alive. I have one concern though, Why would Ken Holland allow [...]]]></description>

		<title>Another chance slipped away</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was dissapointing to watch the Wings let another opportunity to jump past the Kings go by the wayside last night.
Dispite their latest set back, I am still not concerned about them missing the playoffs. There is still a lot of hockey left to be played and we can get back on track Tuesday night [...]]]></description>
