Stick a Fork in Habs 2011/12 Season – Gagner nets 8 points in Oilers 8-4 Win –   NHL scores – February 3, 2012

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 [...]

Alfie scores come back winner as Sens beat Devils 3-2 – Habs GM apologizes for English Coach – NHL scores – January 3, 2012

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 [...]

Chris Neil Fight Turns Tide as Comeback Kids Ottawa Senators Turn Off Flames 4-3 in OT – Ovie Scores 2 – Bertuzzi vs Carcillo – NHL Scores – December 31, 2011

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 [...]

Kyle Turris Bad Deal for Ottawa – Adieu Jacques Martin – Habs Future is All or Rejean Houle Time – December 18, 2011

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 [...]
