		<description><![CDATA[I wonder which wise guy at Tuesday’s press conference following Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals was the first to ask Claude Julien if Tyler Seguin would play Game 3.
I’m sure that one got a chuckle from the assembled media scrum, and having been in a few of those in my day, I have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The fourth win to eliminate a team from the playoffs always comes toughest, the saying goes. As the San Jose Sharks are learning the hard way that tired proclamation is often quite true.
For the second consecutive postseason, the Sharks jumped out to a 3-0 series lead against the mighty Detroit Red Wings, quite an accomplishment [...]]]></description>

At Upper Deck, we try to get the newest rookie cards out the door and on the market as [...]]]></description>

Friday’s climactic Game 7 had a very French-Canadian flavor to it, with six of the players skating the Cup for the winning team hailing from the province of Quebec [...]]]></description>

If you’ve been watching this postseason slate of hockey closely, it’s hard not to appreciate the exceptional ride it’s been — more so than in most years. There have been so many signature moments, so many unique story [...]]]></description>

My opinion swings back and forth depending on the day, my mood, the weather. I know that’s not necessarily a great foundation for an [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Joe Mauer may single-handedly force me to order the MLB Extra Innings package if he keeps hitting like this.
The Twins catcher is on one of the all-time great hitting tears I’ve ever seen — certainly among players belonging to my favorite baseball team — and sadly I’ve missed much of it so far.
Of course, one [...]]]></description>

With his team already trailing 4-1 in the second period, teammate Matt Walker was spotted for an interference penalty, and the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What do you think of when I mention Chris Osgood? What is his trademark? Me, I think of the plain red Bauer helmet he’s played with his entire career — no fancy paint job for Ozzie.
Of course, Osgood has three Stanley Cup championship rings, including two as a starter with the Red Wings — and [...]]]></description>
