Well, now Bob can resign with dignity, or something like that. Bob Gainey was one of my favorite players on the Hab Dynasty of the 70’s. He’s a Hall of Fame Player and person. He has a lot of integrity and I have a hunch that the sale of theContinue Reading
B O X S C O R E S 2 Goals from Dan Boyle and 1 from Rob Blake weren’t enough to overcome Joe Thornton’s curse; at least for 1 game as the Sharks ate some Duck and keep their hopes alive with a 4-3 win. Vancouver completed their sweepContinue Reading
The bad news is that if you were waiting for Chef Shawn Kretz’s latest column you’ll have to wait a bit longer as he had a mishap with a power tool and injured his cooking hand. Luckily he still can supervise his crack, and friendly staff. I stopped by ChezContinue Reading
That Bob Gainey sure is one stubborn guy. Halak was your man down the stretch. Is this more about developing a goalie or winning a Stanley Cup. Bob’s won an awful lot more of those than I ever did, but geez, I don’t understand what’s he’s done this year whichContinue Reading
Who would’ve predicted the Ducks being up 3-0 over the Sharks? If they get swept I’d expect Joe Thornton to be traded in the off season. Philly got phed up and plucked the Penguins 6-2. It was true Philly hockey with the rough stuff in the 1st period establishingContinue Reading
I’ve been asked that a few times now; about how we can run The Cornwall Free News. Well right now it’s a labour of love. You plant a seed, nurture it; and hopefully one day it’ll sprout some fruit. A lot of people have helped and spend their time soContinue Reading
The Price wasn’t right for Habs fans again last night. It was a spriited game. Even Don Cherry didn’t understand or know why the Habs were being the chippy ones in their 5-1 loss in Boston. The Habs had to take it to Chara and forecheck hard, but what IContinue Reading
L I N K It wasn’t raining that hard. According to the minimal crowd in front of Jim Brownell’s office this morning people must be very happy with their healthcare system; especially here in Cornwall. Less than 200 people attended the rally set for 11AM. Apathy kills more people thanContinue Reading
Two days to catch up on. Somehow the Penguins are now up 2 on the Flyers. Vancouver shuts out St.Louis to take a 2-0 series lead. Boston beat the Habs in game one. It was the usual Habs getting outshot and while some of the team are realy giving itContinue Reading
B O X S C O R E S The Rangers showed some grit and edged the Caps 4-3 in their first game opener in Washington. The Caps came out strong in the first but King Henrik kept them in the game. The Penguins beat Philly 4-1 with Malkin scoringContinue Reading
It really is all of our own faults. In life we really have to decide what’s important to us. In my opinion what really sets Canada apart from the US is our Medicare system. It was one of the first in the world and emulated by many countries. For almostContinue Reading
Habs vs Bruins My brain says Bruins in 5. My heart hopes for something totally different. What will it take for the Habs to win? They have to HURT the Bruins early. They HAVE to win game 1. They have to HURT Lucic and Chara EARLY and OFTEN. That meansContinue Reading
Maybe Bob Gainey knows something a lot of other’s don’t. He seems to be betting the farm on Carey Price who so far really hasn’t shown that he’s earned that support. Price allowed 3 goals on 41 shots from the high scoring Pittsburgh line up last night. The Bruins areContinue Reading

Marc Recchi is a little S!!t! He always was and will always be as a player. It’s one of his finer qualities and what makes him a super pick up for any team. Last night he burnt his former squad scoring two goals including the winner for Boston in OT. Continue Reading
MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT The most recent meeting of Pride/Fierté Cornwall’s executive committee was held on April 2nd where, after much honest discussion, it was decided not to stage a Pride festival in 2009. The current economic climate played an obvious role in our decision. More importantly, though, Pride 2008 saw aContinue Reading
