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 […]

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 […]
Fans of the NHL don’t ask for much when it comes to hockey. After all, fans have seen franchises come and go and endured season-long lockouts, but what they do ask for is a hefty dose of excitement when it comes to action on the rink. Attacking play brings us that injection of excitement and […]
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 […]
Cornwall Ontario – As we wait to see who gets to hoist Lord Stanley’s Cup this season (Go PK!) there’s a bit of a lull in the hockey world. The Las Vegas expansion only has so much heat story wise, free agency is looking to be a bore this year and it seems that it’s […]
Cornwall Ontario – It’s time to bring Hall of Fame Hab Legend Larry Robinson home. To his hockey home.

Cornwall Ontario – A lot of chatter about the Sens not selling out the house for the playoffs is making the rounds. Frankly I can’t blame them and feel for the thousands of loyal Ottawa Senator fans. They have a miserly owner that won’t spend to the cap, and an arena in the middle […]
Cornwall Ontario – I only made playoff pics for the Canadian teams in round one. I went four for five including the Rangers to defeat Montreal in six games. (I wish I was wrong on that one, but the curse of Rejean Houle may be too powerful to ever defeat) I’m not sure I’m a […]
Cornwall Ontario – I know. Montreal fans can be hyper emotional. This isn’t about that. It’s been a long two years for Hab fans. It’s been a long time since their last cup win or even a real close sniff. Montreal isn’t the worst team in the league, but they are far from […]
Cornwall Ontario – It was great to see five Canadian teams make the playoffs this season after Canada was blanked last year. Sadly all five lost their opening games; some tragically, some, well hockey is a game of funny bounces and for the Leafs Friday night the puck didn’t bounce their way. The upstart Leafs […]

Cornwall Ontario – Whether for a NHL roster or a hockey pool; a good GM is always looking for a way to evaluate talent. There’s always a different nuance or perspective. Fans too argue over the value of players. Today there’s analytics, which is still in its infancy and some very strange theories are […]
