CFN – So I’m watching the Habs play the Sabres. The game ended in a 2-1 victory for Montreal in the Shoot out; but after the ten game mark some tendencies are starting to evolve. First off because of the addition of pieces like Manny Malhotra the team hasContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – Mayor Bob Kilger was booed not once, but twice at the opening of the River Kings game in Cornwall Saturday night. Carnival promoter Council Candidate Brock Frost was in full campaign mode as he wheeled out MP Guy Lauzon who prattled about winning the war on TerrorismContinue Reading
CFN – It was one of the worst starts in Carey Price’s career as the Habs were blown right out of the rink by Steve Stamkos and the Tampa Bay Lighting Monday night 7-1. It wasn’t the final score so much as the tale of the tape with Stamkos beingContinue Reading
CFN – Whenever you start a season on the road and snatch 6 points on 3 come back wins you know something special is brewing. Yes, it’s only three games and the season is long; but all the indicators are looking great. Montreal’s best are leading the way andContinue Reading
CFN- The Habs ended the pre-season with a trade. Gone are Carey Price’s best bud Peter Budaj and Patrick Holland for Erik Tangradi. It’s an interesting move. With Tangradi already clearing waivers it gives Montreal some back up beef and helps their cap space as Tokarski’s salary wasContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – Chris Cloutier kicked off the pre-season with his first boom boom as the Cornwall River Kings defeated the Laval Predateur’s by a score of 4-1 before around 1,000 fans at the Civic Complex. The team’s Blue & White game also drew poorly as some critics are suggestingContinue Reading
CFN – The buzz is that Montreal and All Time Goalie Marty Brodeur are sniffing each other’s hind quarters. The play, if the Benjamins are right (about $1M for 1 year; maybe a bonus for each round of the play offs the team makes) makes a lot of senseContinue Reading
CFN – As the long hot Summer comes to an end changes have occurred across the NHL. Some more drastic than others. Some teams have new coaches and GM’s. We’re going to look at Canada’s six teams and rate their performances in their attempt to bring LordContinue Reading
CFN– Boggling. The Habs have a Norris trophy winning franchise player in PK Subban who is about to enter his prime. They just went to arbitration with their star and franchise player and yes, PK is the Habs franchise player. It’s quite a conundrum for the team; and isContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – Didn’t my mom and dad make cute babies? I turned the BIG 5-0 today. It’s bewildering. Frankly it kind of freaks me out. The 31st of July has spawned some odd and strange people. I share this day with Wesley Snipes and JK Rowlings; EvgeniContinue Reading
CFN – Is it time to blow up the Ottawa Senators and do a rebuild or will a refit suffice? Frankly cap limited teams in the NHL have very little hope of winning Lord Stanley’s Cup. The last team that wasn’t a big budget squad to win was theContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – Tony Luis made Cornwall Ontario proud as he gave Light weight Wanzell Ellison his first professional defeat Friday. Luis is now 18-2 with 7 KOs – Ellison now sports an 11-1-1 record with 5 Ko’s. Luis simply out boxed his opponent winning on points for an unanimous decisionContinue Reading
CFN – The Toronto Maple Leafs signed 29 year old forward David Booth to a $1.1M 1 year contract today. I think that balances off the signing of David Clarkson last season. At that price point if Booth repeats his year of last season they get value as a thirdContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – On November 15, 1964, the Classics from Cornwall Classical College Defeated Heavily Favored Mont-St-Louis Kodiacs 32-10, to win the Quebec Intercollegiate Football League Championship trophy and the Pierre Proulx. This Was the team’s first year in the league. The victory flabbergasted experts. They Were not Supposed toContinue Reading
CFN – The Leafs have been very quiet this off season. No major trades or free agent buys. A lot of talk of trading Captain Dion Phaneuf and his new long term contract, and of course the usual drama surrounding D man CodyFranson. Let’s compare the two. Dion is 29.Continue Reading
CFN – Cody Ceci is a young and talented Ottawa Senator’s player. A first round pick only two years ago the team called him up last year to help stabilize a D corp that was missing Sergei Gonchar. Ottawa has lost its soul within a year. Daniel Alfredsson is gone.Continue Reading
CFN – Are the Leafs going all in for the hunt for Connor McDavid? The 17 year old is expected to be the top choice at next year’s NHL draft. This off season the Leafs have been near quiet with no big signings or big trades. They draftedContinue Reading
