CFN – Christina “Corky” Julien was back home in Cornwall Ontario before embarking on her first European professional gig playing Soccer in Sweden. It’s her tune up as she prepares for for the 2012 Olympics in England. She helped Canada qualify for the Olympics; an achievement unto itself. The Williamstown native sat down with us for a chat at [...]
CFN – Bob Gainey can’t be a happy camper this morning. The team that he crafted came out of the All Star break with just a glimmer of hope. Those horns in the background were not the sounds of victory, but of the death of the Habs 2011/12 NHL season. With two horrible [...]
CFN – Christina Julien racks up the air miles! The area athlete is just back from Vancouver BC where her scoring prowess helped Canada qualify for the Olympics in England this year!

CFN – We owe Tea Party Tim Thomas a debt of gratitude. It’s a slow week in the NHL. No major news out there as the All Star break approaches. Nobody really cares about the All Star game so Mr. Thomas deciding to be a totally classless human being is making the news far [...]
CFN – The St. Lawrence College Cornwall Sharks women’s hockey team used an excellent defensive game, near-perfect goaltending and timely scoring to win the Wilfrid Laurier Brantford Invitational Tournament, played Friday, Jan 20. The Sharks won all four games they played to take home the gold medal. In the final, Julie Curtis scored and [...]
CFN – Stunning is the only word that comes to mind as Montreal blew a 4-2 lead over the Pittsburgh Penguins to lose 5-4 in the shoot out. Evgeni “Geno” Malkin is thriving with Sidney Crosby on the shelf as he scored the game tying goal and the shoot out winner. With writers and [...]
CFN – Ships passing in the night. I love that term, and it seems that’s what’s happening in the NHL as the Ottawa Senators, the Comeback Kids (although some of them definitely are not kids ) came back and won the battle of Ontario Tuesday night beating the Toronto Maple Leafs 3-2 in Toronto. If that’s not [...]
CFN – Mike Cammalleri had a better first night with Calgary than the Habs did as he notched a goal on 3 shots. Both teams lost; Calgary 5-1 to LA and Montreal in the shoot out to Ottawa after Tomas Plekanec scored a 3rd period short handed goal and Max Pacioretty added a second [...]
CFN – Friday the 13th will never be the same for Habs fans! What the heck is going on in Montreal? The Habs just traded their biggest star; albeit Mike Cammalleri is having his worst NHL season, but then this team is a mess and guys like Cammy don’t work their best in those [...]

CFN – So as we approach the half way mark of the NHL season the Habs are in a strange position. The odds of them making the play offs are not terribly good right now. The odds of this team drinking from Lord Stanley’s Cup are near non existent. The job that [...]
CFN – Wow, betcha nobody was expecting Lars Eller to ever put up a five point game, but that’s what the Habs great Dane did in Montreal’s 7-3 drubbing of the Winnipeg Jets. The third period started 3-2 Montreal, but the Habs put the game away scoring four more goals. Alexei Emelin was +3 for [...]
CFN – Coach Ron Wilson got his first win under his new contract as the Leafs blasted Tampa 7-3 with seven Leaf players scoring goals and Joffrey Lupal adding 3 assists. The Monster; Jonas Gustavsson picked up the win in the fight filled match. The win puts the Leafs 10th in the Conference 1 [...]
CFN – It’s interesting watching how the Habs keep blowing leads while the Sens keep stealing games by not giving up and storming back to snatch wins. It also could be why the Ottawa Senators; in a season that most thought would be a rebuilding year are looking like they will make the play offs [...]
CFN – I really really am enjoying the Ottawa Senators this year. They’re way over achieving, but it’s not a fluke. It’s character and putting in 60 minutes a game. And it’s never giving up. The Sens were down 3-0 to the Calgary Flames Friday night to start the second period when [...]
CFN – Sometimes you just have to make those first key saves and set the tempo emotionally for a game. That’s what Carey Price did as Montreal survived an early onslaught by the Ottawa Senators before he Habs woke up and started popping pucks in the Sens net. Montreal whupped Ottawa 6-2 giving [...]
