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 – 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 – 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 [...]
CFN – The problem with losing hockey in Montreal is that the multitude of media have to find something to write about. The first week post Jacques Martin has some members of the media targetting interim coach Randy Cunneyworth; as if Randy doesn’t have enough troubles taking over a squad that just doesn’t have [...]
CFN – In professional sports Character is very important. It’s something I agree with Bob Gainey about. Mind you I’m not lopping SANITY into character. Warriors win Stanley Cups and Championships; not Primadona’s generally. Players that go that extra mile under the hardest extremes. Hockey has its own special areas. Standing up [...]
CFN – I like Ted Bird; always have. Today he wrote about why Jacques Martin should be fired and probably never have been hired by the Habs going as far as to suggest the kindly coach is “out to lunch” . When Bob Gainey took the reins of this time he did a lot [...]
CFN – A win is a win is a win. Montreal beat the NY Islanders 5-3. They made an easy win hard again allowing the Islanders to tie the game at 3 before scoring the go ahead and an empty net goal by Hal Gill! Coach Martin either can’t or won’t realize that this [...]
CFN – Montreal had a great game in New Jersey spanking the Devils 2-1. New comer Tomas Kaberle notched two assists including an all important power play one; but it was the twin towers, Erik Cole and Max Pacioretty that kept things busy in the offensive end and some inspiring play by Josh Gorges [...]
CFN – Ugh, what was looking to be a great and gritty win turned out to be a shoot out loss for Habs fans last night. Montreal jumped out to a 3-0 lead before allowing Vancouver back into the game finally losing 4-3. Frederick St. Denis, Raphael Diaz, and Erik Cole scored for [...]
