Cornwall Ontario – With the Habs falling off the edge of bubble and the team showing no signs of progress it looks like owner Geoff Molson is considering some moves. When rumor sites start talking about certain types of rumors that means a name is in play. Multiple sites have mentioned Pacioretty. If the Habs […]
Cornwall Ontario – As the pucks dropped after the Christmas break it’s becoming clearer which teams have a shot at going deep into the playoffs, which are simply bubble teams and which should be focusing on rebuilding or reloading. Rebuild – I’m not sure why Arizona is in the NHL any longer. The league forcing […]
Cornwall Ontario – The Christmas break sadly is the funeral song for les boys this season. The injury to Shea Weber didn’t do it. The drama that is Carey Price actually wasn’t either. It was owner Geoff Molson signing off on the strange Rejean Houle type management of his hand picked GM Marc Bergevin. […]
Cornwall Ontario – I love Erik Karlsson. He’s been a strong leader for the Ottawa Sens who helped lead them right up to the gate of a Stanley Cup championship last season before undergoing major ankle surgery. Karlsson is always a Norris trophy threat and All World player. He’s taken critics to heart and developed […]
Cornwall Ontario – Ottawa is leading all Canadian teams in points as GM Pierre Dorion clearly has a different understanding of “Going all in” than Habs GM Marc Bergevin. The three team deal saw the Sens land Duchene while giving up Kyle Turris, a 1st and 3rd rp, the Hamburglar, and 2017 1st Rd Pick […]
Cornwall Ontario – Habs GM Rejean Houle Marc Bergevin stuck his head out to have a confab with media after their win earlier this week. Last night the team responded to their victory by being shutout by LA in their own bard while goalie Carey Price was mock applauded for make a save late […]
Cornwall Ontario – And now for something completely different. I know. Anything can happen in sports. But in 2017, in a cap age with parity, the odds of the Montreal Canadiens winning Lord Stanley’s Cup are about where that Norwegian Blue is. When you fail in the postseason, fail in the off season, fail in […]
Cornwall Ontario – First day of the NHL season and hope is eternal for all 31 clubs. Capwise here are how the teams rank from top to bottom: Toronto Vancouver Calgary Ottawa Winnipeg Montreal Edmonton Which just goes to show you that cash doesn’t fix all ills in the cap age. And here are my […]
Cornwall Ontario – As the puck is about to drop to kick off another NHL season it’s time to look at which teams have improved and which haven’t. Of course when you’re at the bottom there’s generally only one way to go,and of same for when you’re at the top, but in today’s cap age […]
Cornwall Ontario – Short of pulling a rabbit out of his hat and using some of that $8M in cap space, Habs GM Marc Bergevin is in a tricky position that might see him lose his job. After consistently overpaying for less valuable assets the Habs are in a position of weakness and a clear […]
Cornwall Ontario – I’m a secret Ottawa Sens fan. Of the team, not so much ownership. I think Ottawa has amazing hockey fans. Good fans though can get frustrated. High prices, having to travel to their rink in the boondocks rather than having a downtown rink. A penny pinching owner. In a […]
Cornwall Ontario – NHL’er Ben Hutton gave some love back and helped raise over $600 in cash for the Alzheimer Society at Riverside Chrysler on Vincent Massey Drive. The Vancouver Canuck has a personal connection as the horrible disease affects his family. Hi signed autographs and even did a few shoot out drills for the […]

Senator’s owner Eugene Melnyk stated: “Bryan was one of the greatest men that the game of hockey has ever known and also a great father, mentor and teacher. We extend our sincere condolences to […]
Cornwall Ontario – It’s been a disastrous two years for Habs GM Marc Bergevin. When owner Geoff Molson fires him this season he won’t be able to say that he wasn’t given every opportunity to win in Montreal. Five seasons with no true improvement in the roster during the cap era is not good for […]
Cornwall Ontario – Well Habs GM Marc Bergevin signed his centre. Peter Holland. I know. A Coyote cast off. Now this is Sunday July 2 at 10:30 AM and it’s still early days, but Mr. Bergevin’s signing of Karl Alzner also was not a sign to get excited about. Alzner’s a decent enough 4th or […]
Cornwall Ontario – You know I lurve you Big Guy. I wrote that the Habs should sign you because it was a perfect marriage. I know you could make more money elsewhere,but should you? Is life all about money? You know the love you felt from Montreal fans. If you help deliver Lord Stanley’s […]

Cornwall Ontario – As we wait to see who gets to hoist Lord Stanley’s Cup this season (Go PK!) there’s a bit of a lull in the hockey world. The Las Vegas expansion only has so much heat story wise, free agency is looking to be a bore this year and it seems that it’s […]
