The Dallas Stars are headed to the Stanley Cup finals for the first time in 20 years, accomplishing the feat by taking down one of the short-odds-on favorites to win the Stanley Cup: Las Vegas Golden Knights. “I’ve been in a couple of rinks where we’ve clinched to go to the finals, and it erupts,” […]
My boy Mitch Marner showed no signs of pressure in the Leafs 4-1 win in Boston. He scored 2 goals( one by penalty shot while the Leafs were short handed) and even laid on some meat. The Leafs were flying and using their depth speed to put pressure on the Bruins. Freddie Anderson kept their […]
In this cap age of hockey a team must be aware of its asset management or it ends up like Detroit or Chicago, or sadly, Los Angeles. Going nowhere for the hope of a shot. In the Habs case it’s really bewildering as it’s core has not improved this season and they managed the epic […]
It’s been an interesting year. It’s been a weird year. With very low expectations les boys are firmly in a playoff spot, even if it’s just a wild card one. Carey decided to be Carey once his bud Captain Shea Weber was back and Tie Domi has been a refreshing player to watch. Now this […]
Cornwall Ontario – For true hockey fans the direction the game has been evolving has been a let down. It’s seen in ratings and ticket sale drops. Just look at the players escrow numbers after each season and the tale becomes clear. The issue for many is the watering down of the game. It’s amazing […]
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 […]
It’s set to be a grand summer of sport for Canada! With Canadian teams set to appear in the playoffs of the NBA and NHL, there’s no doubt that these colossal sporting events will see many Canadian dollars placed on the outcomes of the games and tournaments. But, while we await the playoffs to begin, […]
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 – It’s been a disastrous two years for Habs GM Marc Bergevin. When owner Geoff Molson fires him this season he won’t be able to say that he wasn’t given every opportunity to win in Montreal. Five seasons with no true improvement in the roster during the cap era is not good for […]
Man arrested in ongoing Fraud investigation into online ticket sales, Nigel Noel, 28, facing four charges The Toronto Police Service would like to advise the public of an arrest in an ongoing Fraud investigation. It is alleged that: – during April 2017, victims purchased hockey tickets from a person through an ad on Kijiji – […]
Cornwall Ontario – All GM’s have their ups and down as Hab fans prepare to watch PK Subban enter the realm that is the Stanley Cup final for a team that’s reached it for the very first time ever; coincidently, the first year after trading swapping out their heart, soul, and captain, who never led […]
CORNWALL ONTARIO – What a silly headline and silly slur of Anaheim star Centre Ryan Getzlaf. $10K for using a term that’s been glorified on TV and is not a homophobic slur. Cocksucker can mean many things. It actually is a common term, but simply has nothing to do with homophobia. There seem […]
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 – The Habs evened their series Friday night. This year there seems to be more desperation across the board to win with multiple games of 100 total hits. It’s good hockey; sometimes great. Shea Weber, even though he took a lame fighting penalty, was the monster for Montreal. Just the beating alone […]
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 – The Ottawa Sens have been a budget team for years. They struggle to put butts in the seats out in Kanata and do a really poor job of marketing. CFN has reached out to them several times to no avail, but the squad under Guy Boucher has played inspired […]
Sorel 6, Cornwall 3 Christian Deschenes had two goals and added two assists as the Eperviers doubled up the River Kings on Friday night in Sorel. The Eperviers lead the best-of-seven LNAH quarter-final series 1-0. Antony Courcelles had a hat trick for Cornwall, which hosts Game 2 on Sunday at the Civic Complex. Puck drops […]
