Cornwall Ontario – This is our second installment of my NHL Win Efficiency tool! LINK to #1 There have been some surges and dramatic falls since October 26th! Without further adieu here’s the TOP EIGHT list for November 5th, 2018! Nashville 13.6 Tampa Bay 9.96 NY Islanders 7.32 * Arizona 6.32 * Colorado 6.0 Toronto […]
Cornwall Ontario – Oddly enough this will go down as one of Hab GM Marc Bergevin’s best trades. It wasn’t a great trade, and barely was a good trade as the team diminished its asset as it seems bent on doing. Will they be trashing Carey Price and his near untradeable contract next if the […]
The Vancouver Canucks are an interesting squad. It seems like they’ve played a lighter game since forever, but the Sedin twins are gone and the team is facing a new era and has yet to truly define itself. This year the squad made some bewildering veteran signings. In the cap age that’s not so bad […]
Cornwall Ontario – The litany of issues facing Sens owner Eugene Melnyk is bewildering. While there’s always a back story to most issues, the face of the slide for the team started with the handling of fan fave Daniel Alfredsson. That it was played out as much in public as it did hurt the team. […]
Cornwall Ontario – After the draft and free agent frenzy day it appears that Montreal Canadiens fans are in for another very long season. They deserve better. Montreal has had a very clear need. A number one Centre. They also need to rebuild their D after GM Marc Bergevin decimated it last season. It’s a […]
Cornwall Ontario – Cornwall is a big enough city to have culture. Yes we have a lower income level, but that usually breeds art. It usually attracts artists who are always looking for less expensive places to practice their art too. The problem is that there is no true appetite for culture in this community. […]
Cornwall Ontario – Some might call this column “Sour Grapes”, but it really isn’t. It’s more of a question? Rogers is a large and wonderful company that offers many great services. It also has a huge footprint in hockey; something I know a bit about. My history with the sport professionally started in the 90’s. […]
Cornwall Ontario – With the demise of yet another hockey management team there are rumblings and even a piece written by that mincing lifeguard, Hugo Rodrigues. Cornwall Ontario is a hockey town. It just has a city government that for whatever reason refuses to allow business to be business. The subsidies given to the Cornwall […]
Cornwall Ontario – CFN confirmed after speaking with Rodney Rivette of the Cornwall Nationals that the team is meeting today with FHL officials to talk about the survival of the team. With attendance shriveling since it lost its promotional contract with this newspaper, the loss of its admired head coach, and now its star player […]
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 – 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 – I love hockey. I’ve been very lucky and been able to work in the sport from touring with some of its greatest legends, to working for a hockey card company, running sport card shows, and eventually working for the Montreal Canadiens before leaving the industry in the 90’s. Sadly, because of petty […]

It is alleged while playing hockey on October 5th, 2017 the man punched another man in the head causing him to seek medical attention for his injuries. Police were […]
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 – The man who engineered some great Ottawa Senator teams passed away at 74 after a battle with Cancer. 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 – 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 […]
