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
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
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
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
Golf anyone? It looks like the Habs may have enough to squeak into the play offs, but there is just about zero hope of going anywhere. The AK 27 line was silent and the defense was ugly. The Habs were back to being outshot again too. In other news SERGEContinue Reading
Looks like Matt Schneider is done for the year and Andrei Markov is out for at least 3 weeks. Doug Janik and Ryan O’Byrne were the replacements. The Habs failed a test last night losing 3-2 to Ottawa. I think in the end of this chapter of Hab history peopleContinue Reading

Playing the Leafs should be like playing an All Star game, and the Habs did that for most of last night. I was sad to see them let up in the 3rd and lose the shut out, but they came back and smacked the Leafs around for 2 more goals.Continue Reading
If they keep winning they can’t miss the play-offs. This seems to be clicking with the Habs whose veterans led the way to their 5-1 romp over the Isles. They also outshot them 33-29 which is how to do IT! Big Dawg, Alex Kovalev led the way with 3 helpersContinue Reading
I predict that as long as the Habs outshoot their oppenents good things will happen. It did last night. Even they they spent more time in the box than the Hawks Cristobal Huet’s return to Montreal ended in a 4-1 victory for the Bleu, Blanc, et Rouge. Alex Kovalev scoredContinue Reading
L I N K Hey, it’s not that bad an idea as long as they don’t over pay too much. Look how well it’s worked with the Teacher’s pension fund owning the Leafs 😉 Shame they didn’t have that brain fart when the Expos were for sale…. please visit ourContinue Reading
