CFN – Roy Berger isn’t just a pretty face. Alright, he’s never been a pretty face, but he has covered a lot of ground. He’s sharing one from his vault with our viewers. This is one of my favorite photos. Montreal, 1996, Anti-Henry Kissinger Rally. I call it, ‘ StormContinue Reading
CFN – Sadly the hockey world has lost one of it’s genuine greats and legends. Jean Béliveau was a true gentleman. Of course it’s all over the media and social media. It’s the passing of a true Canadian. I was lucky enough to work with Mr. Béliveau. Continue Reading
CFN – I have to admit I’m totally impressed on Hab’s GM Marc Bergevin’s swap today of spare part Travis Moen for grizzled vet on D, Sergei Gonchar. He even got Dallas to pick up a reported 8% of Gonchar’s deal. Montreal has cap space this season. They stillContinue Reading
CFN – So I’m watching the Habs play the Sabres. The game ended in a 2-1 victory for Montreal in the Shoot out; but after the ten game mark some tendencies are starting to evolve. First off because of the addition of pieces like Manny Malhotra the team hasContinue Reading
CFN – It was one of the worst starts in Carey Price’s career as the Habs were blown right out of the rink by Steve Stamkos and the Tampa Bay Lighting Monday night 7-1. It wasn’t the final score so much as the tale of the tape with Stamkos beingContinue Reading
CFN – The buzz is that Montreal and All Time Goalie Marty Brodeur are sniffing each other’s hind quarters. The play, if the Benjamins are right (about $1M for 1 year; maybe a bonus for each round of the play offs the team makes) makes a lot of senseContinue Reading
CFN – Early media rumbles is that 36 year old Andrei Markov is asking $6M for 3 years from the Habs which begs the question of how much Matt Niskanen would cost Marc Bergevin if he’s allowed to go UFA? Niskanen is younger; had about the same amount of points,Continue Reading
CFN – Dustin Tokarski got more than the win last night as he and the Habs faced elimination on home ice and fought through for a 7-4 win. It was a weird and wacky game with Rangers star goalie “King” Henrik Lundqvist being chased from the net and Rene Bourque,Continue Reading
CFN – Habs goalie absolutely stole game three in their series vs the Rangers in NY last night as Montreal got an over time goal by Alex Galchenyuk for a 3-2 win. Montreal played a brutal game being drastically out shot and out played in spite of being behind inContinue Reading
CFN – On Wednesday, May 7, 2014, at 4:30 p.m., officers arrested three men in the Queen Street West and James Street area. The arrests are part of a $200,000 Fraud investigation.

MONTREAL – Huge fire on the Main in Montreal mid day. Multiple fire trucks attended 3780 St. Laurent (near Roy) above Maison Thai. Fire broke out at about 12:15 p.m. on Wednesday afternoon in a three story commercial and residential building at 3780 St. Laurent Street, causing a majorContinue Reading
CFN – PK Subban was in the penalty box after an odd play where he scored two hits, one on poor Thomas Vanek! That didn’t deter the star who led the Habs and was a force on the ice as they defeated Boston 4-2 for the home fans.Continue Reading
CFN – Do this year’s Habs have “IT”? It being the killer instinct to take them deep into the play offs. So far things are rolling into place with Montreal up 2 games to none in their first round series vs Tampa Bay. They won both of those gamesContinue Reading
CFN – Montreal drew first blood and evened up that home ice advantage by defeating Steve Stamkos and the Tampa Bay Lightning 5-4 in Overtime. Stamkos scored twice in the game that wasn’t as close as the score dictated. Tomas Plekanec scored as well as Brian Gionta, Lars Eller,Continue Reading
CFN – It’s show time! I’ll be reviewing all of the play off series. Round One has only one Canadian team playing; the Montreal Canadiens who face off against the Tampa Bay Lightning who hold home advantage. Montreal has been a positive enigma this year. Drama, injuries, slumps,Continue Reading
CFN – The log jam that was the standings at the Socchi break has loosened up and while yes, some teams still have a chance, it’s becoming pretty clear as I write this who will and who won’t be making the play offs. The Sens getting Ales Hemsky to rideContinue Reading
