The Habs are off to a good start. With all of the recent historical drama you have to give les boys credit. A win is a win is a win which I’m sure Jean Chretien would agree with. And the team has banked some early season wins. That’s the thing about beating expectation. Geoff Molson […]
Cornwall Ontario – I still marvel, over twenty years since I created some of the first stat systems used by a NHL team at how complicated some people turn stats. It’s probably for some of the same reasons I created some of my systems. Hockey is still pretty much an old boys club even though […]
Cornwall Ontario – It’s going to be a sad season in Montreal. Like many others I have no idea why such a legendary team has run itself into the ground. The team just named Shea Weber Captain. Honestly they should be trying to salvage value and be looking to move him. Or then perhaps they […]
Montreal QC – It didn’t seem like a hard days night for Sir Paul at the sold out Montreal Bell Center last night. The performance by his supporting band was spot on, the lighting, stage effects, cameras and sound were exceptionally well choreographed, and Maca himself in top shape! During the 3 hour long (it […]
BREACH Cornwall, ON – A 45-year-old Cornwall man was arrested on September 18th, 2018 and charged with breach of recognizance for contacting his girlfriend. It is alleged on September 11th, 2018, the man contacted his girlfriend despite his conditions. Police were contacted and an investigation ensued. On September 18th, 2018 the man attended police headquarters […]
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 […]
When it was announced that Donald Trump would be applying tariffs to Canadian products, it seemed pretty inevitable that there were going to be repercussions, but nobody could have expected those to include a tariff being applied to playing cards! Indeed, while some people are worried about whether they will end up paying more to play […]
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 […]
The news was perhaps not unexpected, but it was certainly met with joy when it was announced that Canada, USA and Mexico would be hosting the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Montreal, Toronto and Edmonton look to be the three host cities in Canada, so there should be an opportunity to catch a big game […]
Cornwall Ontario – When I worked for the Habs in the 90’s during that one interesting season when we moved into the Bell Centre and nearly upset the Rangers in the playoffs, trades were run by me. At the risk of being humble my reports and advice to Reggie were dead on accurate. It was […]
MONTREAL, June 15, 2018 — Quebec Superior Court Judge Pierre C. Gagnon hopes to determine by August 31 if thousands of RCMP members across Canada can seek compensation through a class action for years of systematic harassment by senior RCMP officers. His announcement was made today at the Montreal Court House after two days of […]

It is alleged […]
Cornwall Ontario – Yes, it’s that time! Sadly the Habs didn’t make the playoffs because GM Marc Bergevin totally blew it this season and it seems that owner Geoff Molson might actually let him have a seventh kick at the can which is way too Rejean Houle scary. But I digress. The Leafs and Jets […]

2018 could mark an unwanted milestone for hockey fans – 25 years since any Canadian NHL team won the Stanley Cup. Montreal’s victory in 1993 goes all the way back to a time when Donald Trump was most noted for a cameo in the Home Alone movies, or when Justin Trudeau was still in […]
Cornwall Ontario – With the Habs falling off the edge of bubble and the team showing no signs of progress it looks like owner Geoff Molson is considering some moves. When rumor sites start talking about certain types of rumors that means a name is in play. Multiple sites have mentioned Pacioretty. If the Habs […]
