Freddie Anderson kept their… Continue reading HOCKEY CRUNCH – Marner Notches 2 Goals as Leafs Jump Bruins in Game 1 041219

NHL Tom Wilson 3 Game Ban Sends Wrong Message by Jamie Gilcig 050418

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… Continue reading Fearless NHL Stanley Cup Predictions for Round 1 by Jamie Gilcig 041218

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.

Is the Carey Price Contract Tradeable? Bergy Deflates Hab Values. By Jamie Gilcig 080817
Cornwall Ontario – It’s been a disastrous two years for Habs GM Marc Bergevin.

GETZLAF – Fu**ing c*ck s**ker” is not a Homophobic Slur – NHL is Way too PC in 2017
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.

Leafs & Sens Win – Nashville 2-0 vs Chicago GAME 2 Thoughts by Jamie Gilcig APRIL 16, 2017
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… Continue reading Leafs & Sens Win – Nashville 2-0 vs Chicago GAME 2 Thoughts by Jamie Gilcig APRIL 16, 2017
