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
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
