CFN – They say the mark of a good organization is to have a better roster of players on your team than ones that were and are playing for other squads. With that in mind I thought I’d take a look around the NHL and see what former Habs areContinue Reading
CFN – Certain trends are rapidly becoming apparent for the Montreal Canadiens early in this season. First off for those Scott Gomez haters his presence was missed. Tomas Plekanec and David Desharnais is not the one two punch up the middle that intimdates a lot of teams.Continue Reading
CFN – GM Brian Burke is smiling this morning as the Leafs came back and defeated the woeful Winnipeg Jets 4-3. The Leafs are now 3rd in the conference with a 4-0-1 record 1 point behind first place Washington. A good goalie and good defense are always goodContinue Reading
CFN – Watching the Habs off-season moves and early season performance has me nearly yearning for the days of Rejean Houle. Just kidding 🙂 I worked for Reggie. I would never yearn for those days again, but this roster is clearly showing it’s not ready for Prime Time. You canContinue Reading
CFN – Watching most of tonight’s rumble in Montreal between the Avalanche and Habs some patterns are pretty clear. This is rapidly becoming Carey Price’s team and the Young Guns are going to decide on the outcome of the 2011/2012 season. David Desharnais and Max Pacioretty are a greatContinue Reading
CFN – It’s Saturday night in Canada which means Hockey Night in Canada for nearly 9 months of the year! The Habs don’t play until Sunday when they visit the Jets for their first game back after moving from Atlanta. The Habs were shut out 2-0 in TorontoContinue Reading
CFN – Pre season is done and it’s showtime this week as the Montreal Canadiens take on the Toronto Maple Leafs. Both teams have some injury issues, but the Habs always have the expectation to win. They had a dismal pre season record; Andrei Markov, resigned to a $5.5M perContinue Reading
Cornwall ON – A Russian Yak 42 plunged into the Volga River killing 40 of 42 souls on board, most of which were on the Lokomotiv Yaroslavl KHL team which boasted such former NHL’ers as Pavol Demitra, Ruslan Salei, Karlis Skrastins, and new coach and former Detroit Red Wing assistant Brad McCrimmon.Continue Reading
Cornwall ON – Is hockey in trouble? I used to be a huge baseball fan. I lived and died MLB..almost. I studied stats; I played Rotiserrie and Stratomatic baseball. I went to minor league games. I got to speak to Bill James even! I have an outline for aContinue Reading
Cornwall ON – It’s draft time! Edmonton didn’t surprise anyone by choosing Ryan Nugent Hopkins with the first draft pick. 106 points in 69 games; the lithe centre will need to put some weight on. What you see is what you get; a high point 1st line centre.Continue Reading
Cornwall ON – Well the Flyers no longer have cap issues as they traded away two of their big guns clearing up some of the dressing room buzz emanating from the city that once booed Mike Schmidt! Those are two big contracts. In are the number 8 draft pick and three youngContinue Reading
Cornwall ON – It’s going to be a long summer for most likely soon to be traded Roberto Luongo. The former team captain will have to live with the weight of being the target for his team’s loss of Lord Stanley Cup as the Canucks fell to Boston inContinue Reading
Cornwall ON – It wasn’t a Sedin twin or the hockey sexy Ryan Kesler that notched the decisive and only goal in game 5 of the Lord Stanley’s cup Friday night in Vancouver, but former Hab Maxim Lapierre. He was assisted by Raffi Torres and Kevin Bieska and kept theContinue Reading
Cornwall ON- Aaron Rome woke up the Boston Bruins by putting Nathan Horton to sleep in game 3 of the Stanley Cup finals. Rome stood up Horton at the blue line with a hit that knocked the Bruins star play off performer out of the game and most likelyContinue Reading
Cornwall ON – Vancouver defeated Boston 3-2 in OT to take a 2-0 series lead for Lord Stanley’s Cup. They say good teams find ways to win, but great teams find great ways. Both Boston and Vancouver have strong depth and both teams loaded near the tradeContinue Reading
Cornwall ON- Literally as Alex Burrows was alleged to have nibbled on some fingers placed in his mouth. It sounds kinda Sean Avery to me 😉 Burrows ended the night with 8 penalty minutes and 2 shots on goal. It was good play off hockey with the refsContinue Reading
Cornwall ON – As much as I dislike the Boston Bruins and what they have stood for I have a lot of heart for Tim Thomas who notched a game 7 shut out in what was typical Bruins hockey. With the refs putting away the whistles the Lightning never hadContinue Reading
Cornwall ON- Championships are made of the stuff of dreams and who as a young person; especially here in Canada doesn’t dream of scoring that big goal or making that big save? Last night Roberto Luongo showed that he truly can win the big game as his and Kevin Bieska’s heroics helpedContinue Reading
