Almost everyone not named Hossa scored last night as the Detroit Red Wings took a 3-2 lead in the Stanley Cup Finals. Pavel Datsyuk returned playing alongside Henrik Zetterberg as the Red Wings showed that they were not a tired bunch of old men, but Stanley Cup Champions. L IContinue Reading
What a weird and odd way Hockey sometimes works. For some reason someone at the Montreal Canadiens head office though perenial under achiever Jacques Martin was the man to stir the Habs to victory this season. Mr. Martin signed a multi year deal to leave Florida and jump into theContinue Reading
Who thought this it’d be a close series? It sure would be a heck of a thing for Pittsburgh to beat Detroit in this series, but to come back from a 2-0 deficit is as likely as Alex Kovalev wearing a C on his jersey for the Habs next year. OfContinue Reading
L I N K Marian Hossa had 3 shots, Sidney Crosby had 2, and the refs let the boys play hockey in Game one of the Stanley Cup finals last night. The goalies and depth were the difference last night. It’s going to be a good series, but unless CrosbyContinue Reading
Today the Conservative mess we call government announced the biggest ever single year deficit in Canadian history. At the same time, Cornwall Ontario, a small city of just over 40,000 people with a tax base of less than 15,000 awarded a contract to a Whitby firm for $1, 367,500.00 toContinue Reading

This year’s Stanley cup looks to be a “fowl” affair. (my apologies to those that hate puns) As the Pittsburgh Penguins advanced over the Carolina Hurricanes in a 4-1 victory last night. Crosby and Malkin did not score but were present. It should be an exciting series and I’m notContinue Reading
Detroit showed why they won the Stanley Cup last year as they pounded the Black Hawks 6-1 and are now one win away from a return to the finals. Playing without Niklas Lidstrom and Pavel Datsyuk the Wings as a team stepped it up especially Marion Hossa who scored aContinue Reading
Wow, Evgeni “Geno” Malkin scored a Hat Trick as the Penguins take a 2 games to 0n lead on the Carolina Hurricanes. This is starting to look like a sweep as all of Pittsburgh’s BIG GUNS got to play. Carolina just couldn’t keep up with the scoring. In other NHLContinue Reading

Well the Bruins blew it and Carolina moves forward to face Pittsburgh. The Wings, thanks to their depth with players like Darren Helm beat the Ducks and now get to face The Chicago Black Hawks. Looks to be some good hockey and it’s starting to look like a Pittsburgh –Continue Reading
Sid the Kid and friends knocked off the Washington Capitals in game seven of their series 6-2. It was never close with Crosby opening the scoring. Where was Mike Green and his 30 goals for Washington? Were there really no calls to be made against Pittsburgh as the Penguins didn’tContinue Reading
Score early and score often. Advice that leads to a win as the Bruins discovered last night during their 4-2 victory and forcing Carolina to a game 7. I have a hunch the Bruins will survive this series too. Anaheim showed a lot of moxy in forcing a game 7Continue Reading
Alex Ovechkin took his frustrations out on Sergei Gonchar last night who had to leave the game in Pittsburgh 5-3 whomp. The series is now tied at 2 games each. Some super hockey is being played and depending on whether the leagues’s best player gets a suspension for his hitContinue Reading
L I N K Prime Minister Stephen Harper supports a 2nd NHL team in the Toronto area and more Canadian teams. See, as much as I don’t admire the man or his politics I will give him kudos for being dead right on this one. I’m not sure when GaryContinue Reading
Chris Chelios returned for the play-offs and the Wings beat Anaheim 3-2 while out shooting them 38-24. I have a hunch this won’t be a long series either as the Wings are just too much for Anaheim who won’t have the hate on for them like to did the lowlyContinue Reading
Anaheim is one win away from defeating number one seed San Jose thanks to their 4-0 shut out victory. Detroit finished off Columbus in a 6-5 barn burner of a game. Philly shut out the high scoring Penguins as they battle back into the series 3-0, and Marty Brodeur showedContinue Reading
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
