In this cap age of hockey a team must be aware of its asset management or it ends up like Detroit or Chicago, or sadly, Los Angeles. Going nowhere for the hope of a shot. In the Habs case it’s really bewildering as it’s core has not improved this season and they managed the epic […]
It’s been a busy trade deadline in some ways. Ottawa was facing the biggest challenge. Out were Duchene, Stone, and Dzingel. Duchene was a disastrous mistake last year. Stone simply wasn’t going to resign with the Sens and Dzingel was a sell high situation. And the Sens needed to fill the cupboards and interesting enough […]
I know crazy. While there’s some play off fever going on in la belle province the best situation that’s evolved this season is the recovery of high priced Goalie Carey Price. The man has value even with his contract, heck if LV can give a 30+ goalie in Marc Andre Fleury $7M per for 3 […]
There have been multiple allegations that our own Mayor, Bernadette Clement (a fellow former Montreal person), has been in a long term relationship with local lawyer Kimberly Walsh who’s the Chancellor at the local Catholic Diocese and formerly bankrupt lawyer, for many moons. In 2019 gender, religion, sexuality should play zero role in access to […]
It’s been an interesting year. It’s been a weird year. With very low expectations les boys are firmly in a playoff spot, even if it’s just a wild card one. Carey decided to be Carey once his bud Captain Shea Weber was back and Tie Domi has been a refreshing player to watch. Now this […]

While the season is only half over, the Montreal Canadiens are one of the biggest surprises this season. After the tyre fire of last season and some questionable management the team has had the hockey gods smile on them this season. With new Captain Shea Weber out for nearly most of the first half and […]

CFN started to get calls and messages early this morning stating that staff at Cornwall Square were let go. The mall mysteriously was announced to be sold at a fire sale rate after previous announcements of part of it to be demolished and the mall repurposed. Oddly enough the name of the buyers was […]

Saskatchewan’s wait time of 15.4 weeks is the […]
Montreal Quebec – In February 2015, the RCMP in Valleyfield was assigned to dismantle various criminal organizations involved in the trafficking of cocaine and contraband tobacco and cannabis in Akwesasne, Quebec, Ontario and the Atlantic provinces. The legal challenges were complex, as investigators called in the Public Prosecution Service of Canada, an undercover agent with […]
The Habs are off to a good start. With all of the recent historical drama you have to give les boys credit. A win is a win is a win which I’m sure Jean Chretien would agree with. And the team has banked some early season wins. That’s the thing about beating expectation. Geoff Molson […]
Cornwall Ontario – I still marvel, over twenty years since I created some of the first stat systems used by a NHL team at how complicated some people turn stats. It’s probably for some of the same reasons I created some of my systems. Hockey is still pretty much an old boys club even though […]
Cornwall Ontario – It’s going to be a sad season in Montreal. Like many others I have no idea why such a legendary team has run itself into the ground. The team just named Shea Weber Captain. Honestly they should be trying to salvage value and be looking to move him. Or then perhaps they […]
Montreal QC – It didn’t seem like a hard days night for Sir Paul at the sold out Montreal Bell Center last night. The performance by his supporting band was spot on, the lighting, stage effects, cameras and sound were exceptionally well choreographed, and Maca himself in top shape! During the 3 hour long (it […]
Cornwall Ontario – One would think that the Catholic Church, after the scandals and issues that they’ve been dealing with, especially in Cornwall Ontario, wouldn’t try and block the light, especially at a high profile meeting of The Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops that is taking place, but a report has come out that essentially […]
