		<title>Anthem tradition disrespectful? Think again, Rob Otto.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Put down the stones and step back into your glass house, Rob Otto. You&#8217;re entitled to your opinion, but make sure you start thinking more clearly before publishing your work &#8212; especially in the forum you intend to do so.
Otto of MLive.com publicized his distaste for the Chicago Blackhawks&#8217; tradition of cheering throughout the National [...]]]></description>

		<title>French Cries without Catch-up: Commies 5, &#8216;Hawks 4</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, Cris, I&#8217;ve defended you up and down. Today, you&#8217;re on your own.
There are a lot of people to blame for the Blackhawks&#8217; second-period meltdown, but the brunt goes to Huet. I&#8217;m not sure if I&#8217;m more upset about the 5-4 loss to the Detroit Red Wings, or if I&#8217;m simply flaming pissed the meatballs [...]]]></description>

		<title>Every now and then he falls apart. And we beat his ass tonight! Yes, we beat him more than EVA!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Roberto Luongo, get in position. Here come the &#8216;Hawks.

Enough said. Luongo better pray he&#8217;s done with the Blackhawks this season. The gold-medal winning goalie and savior of Canada gave up five goals during the first and only period he played in the Blackhawks 6-3 win Friday against the Vancouver Canucks.
At least he didn&#8217;t weep this [...]]]></description>

		<title>Flaunt it if you got it: Blackhawks 5, Oilers 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Ladies and gentleman, these are your Chicago Blackhawks. You&#8217;ve watched this team succeed with and without Marian Hossa and Dave Bolland, with and without Cam Barker and Kim Johnsson.
And yes, you&#8217;ve seen the Blackhawks succeed WITH Cristobal Huet and Antti Niemi. Nothing has changed.  There are no more talks of trades to make &#8220;improvement&#8221; to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Back to the grind: Blackhawks at Islanders preview</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you see a bunch of overly tanned players on the ice tomorrow, do not adjust the tint on your television sets. The two-week Olympic break is over, the beaches are closed to players and it&#8217;s time to cram a quarter of the NHL schedule into a month and a half. Welcome back.
Unfortunately for Blackhawks [...]]]></description>

		<title>Blackhawks swap AHL goalies, disappoint meatheads</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While I&#8217;m sure all the meatballs shit themselves when they heard news the Blackhawks traded for goaltending depth, it&#8217;s not a meatball type of trade.
The Blackhawks and Blues have swapped AHL players two days before the trade deadline. The &#8216;Hawks acquired goalie Hannu Toivonen with defenseman and Chicago native Danny Richmond &#8212; who have both [...]]]></description>

		<title>Trio of Blackhawks Canadians win gold medal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Congrats to Jonathan Toews, Brent Seabrook and Duncan Keith winning a gold medal after Canada defeated the United States 3-2 in overtime Sunday. Patrick Kane will bring home a silver medal, and hopefully that&#8217;s not the only piece of silver he holds this season. You know, because the Stanley Cup is made of silver. See [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tremendously tremendous happy humans: United States surprises Canada 5-3 on its way to quarterfinals</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thirty years ago, Team USA jubilantly gave Americans reason to believe. Sunday, it silenced a nation.
No medals were awarded following the United States&#8217; surprise 5-3 victory against Canada, but Ryan Miller and the Americans looked plain golden. It was the type of game that could turn casual hockey observers into die-hard fans, and die-hards into [...]]]></description>

		<title>Olympians are enjoying themselves, and so should you</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Think about this, and think about it unselfishly and intelligently. Would an NHL player rather win a gold medal representing his country, or would he rather win a Stanley Cup for his city?
My guess is if you ask a player, the question would be extremely tough to answer. That&#8217;s the way it should be. The [...]]]></description>

		<title>Blackhawk Link-Up: More goalie crap; Wild for Barker</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Haven&#8217;t done this in awhile, but here&#8217;s a look around the Blackhawks blogsphere:
Reading around the Internet today, everyone seemed to have two things in common: 1) Being shocked at Q-Stache&#8217;s decision to start Antti Niemi against Columbus and sending Cristobal Huet to a month-long hiatius between starts; 2) The Blackhawks need this Olympic break &#8212; [...]]]></description>
