Cornwall ON – I’m not sure who’s scarier in a fight, Stephen Harper or the Z man, Zdeno Chara.

LINK “After working for [...]
Cornwall ON – Happy Birthday to billionaire author JK Rowling. You’ve come a long way baby! It’s funny to cruise through Wikipedia and find out who was born on your birthday.

Cornwall ON – Dontcha love texting? I know Twitter is in vogue, but it’s so….public. My sources have told me that there is a lot of buzz to Carey Price being shipped to Dean Lombardi with a certain Russian. A LA goalie would be coming to the Great White North in the deal, [...]
Cornwall ON – One of the men that personafied the role of ENFORCER in the NHL has passed away at the age of 45. Bob Probert is survived by his wife and four children. He suffered from Drug and Alcohol issues during his career, but recently had been supporting Canadian troops and raising money for [...]
Cornwall ON – So the big fish is still on the loose. Where Ilya Kovalchuk will call home still isn’t decided and Tomas Kaberle is still a Leaf, but an awful lot of players are changing jerseys after yesterday’s opening salvo of free agent signings. The Sens were busy grabbing the big money D [...]
Cornwall ON – So it’s July 1st. Free Agent mania. There are a lot of interesting goalies out there, but how many studs are available? How many potential studs? Yeah. Some serviceable guys, but no studs. Detroit showed that you could win a Stanley Cup without a STUD. Philadelphia nearly won a [...]
Cornwall ON – Hey at least it gives us something to write about. Montreal today traded enigmatic (that’s fancy for waste of time) Sergei Kostitsyn for the rights to about to be Free Agents Dustin Boyd (if you actually wanted to replace Sergei a good fit without the headaches) and Dan Ellis who is [...]

Cornwall ON – Happy Birthday Meryl Streep you hot piece o chicken! Ms Streep turns much less than 100 today. The great actress seems to get an Oscar nom every year, and only gets better with age as opposed to say….many of her co-stars over the years. WIKI Happy Birthday Meryl! Oh yes, [...]
Cornwall ON- Could Carey Price be leaving les Bleu, Blancs, et Rouges aussi? Of course it’s rumor season with the draft and July 1 free agent date coming up. While the Habs swapped away play off stud Jaroslav Halak, rumblings from sources suggest that Carey Price isn’t the man long term for Montreal either [...]
Cornwall ON – In what many Habs fans will consider one of the darkest day in the teams history Jaroslav Halak was traded for spare parts to the St.Louis Blues (Lars Eller and Ian Schultz). John Davidson is going to be grinning awfully wide as he swills some single malt on this deal as [...]
Cornwall ON – It took over 16 minutes to open up the scoring, but Dustin Byfuglien opened the gates and the Chicago Blackhawks have won Lord Stanley’s Cup for the first time since 1961 by the score of 4-3 in overtime. Patrick Kane scored his 10th of the playoffs to win it all and end [...]
Cornwall ON – In what will probably be the turning point of this series, Chris Pronger had probably his worst play off game of his NHL career. 1 shot, 2 minutes in penalties and a -5 for the night. While the shots on the evening were nearly the same, 28-27 for Chicago the [...]
