Fanpuck33 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Brisebois needs a rest. Time to get O'Byrne back out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbhatt Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 (edited) The Dandenault injury sucks...not only because he was playing decent hockey, but because it means O'Burned will be back in the lineup. I've got tickets to the next two games too....so I'll be there to see O'Burned stink it up live. Edited December 10, 2008 by sbhatt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koivu Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Brisebois quietly had another solid game, and has played well of late. +2 and he played 17 minutes, more than Markov. Carle has been mentioned, but the guy they really should call up is Shawn Belle. He has been the best Defensman in Hamilton this year, and at 6'1 235 he brings 25 more pounds that Carle. We had such success with Diago, no reason can't go back now for someone like Belle now, who has played great all year there. I hope they even bring up Chipchura for Higgins, if his MRI means he misses a few games. More Bulldogs More! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les_glorieux Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Really bad news that Dandy is out, but O'Byrne is more than capable of being in the lineup and proving he belongs. We really can't afford any more injuries though. How close is Komi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonus Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 With Dandy out give Belle a shot why not? It would be quite a thing to call up Belle with O'Byrne in the pressbox. Now I might understand if you want to give Brisebois a rest for a bit so that O'Byrne and Belle could play, but I can't see Carbo sitting Brisebois for more than a game or two with two roster defensemen on the DL. Maybe Belle (or more likely Carle) gets a 1-3 game cup of coffee, but unless the the AHL callup suddenly reignites the PP, I couldn't imagine anything more long term.

MMPL Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I agree. I think that unless there is another injury or Carbo wants Breeze to have a rest, then why have Belle in the Presser? He is useless there and it might shoot his confidence. If I were Gainey I'd say, listen you've done great in Hamilton, keep it up, and you may hear from us soon.

saskhab Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 It's Dec. 10, Komi is supposed to be back after Christmas at the latest. I think they'll just keep the group as is right now especially until the end of the homestand. Hamilton is really close by for an emergency recall. On a road trip, they might decide to bring a guy along just in case... and looking at the schedule, there's no scenario for that. Am I reading this right? CBC is broadcasting Thursday's game vs. Tampa, as well as next Thursday vs. Philly? 3 consecutive Thursdays CBC is showing the Habs? I also don't see them broadcasting the Buffalo game two Saturdays from now. Weird. If they do call up a guy, I doubt he'll play over the 6 we already have. At least not unless one of Breeze or O'Byrne really struggles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go to the habs website and take a look at the pictures of the new training facility theres a pic of Komi running on a treadmill there he should be back sooner than later!

Easy Ryder Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 First Dandenault deserves a lot of credit for his play in replacement at D, 12 -14 minutes of quality play. O'byrne can now jump in, if anything he should have learned from Dandenault example is not trying to be everywhere and keep the game simple. I saw a glimpse of Brisebois in a interview and he looked 50 years old. Yes his play is effective playing 19-20 minutes a game but he is wearing down. A D from Hamilton should be called up. Carle or Belle ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saskhab Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 If it's only 8 more days, there's no point in bringing anyone up. That's only 3 games to deal with the same 6 d-men, who were our top 6 when Komi first went down anyways. They know the system and most importantly each other. After Christmas, the team can decide on O'Byrne's future with the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'byrne can now jump in, if anything he should have learned from Dandenault example is not trying to be everywhere and keep the game simple. I wouldn't use the term quality, but he helped patch a whole temporarily. It's sad for him, but I'm happy that this gives O'Byrne a chance to come back in the lineup, this team will be far better if O'Byrne rergains his confidence than with Dandeneault. I only hope that Carbonneau uses him properly, perhaps only 12-14 minutes for now on the third pairing with Bouillon so that he can regain confidence against weaker lines, re-simplify his game, and progressively go back to his own style. Besides Brisebois is doing a decent-enough job for now with Hamrlik, so there's no need to put too many responsibilities on O'Byrne at this point.

BTH Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Do Quebeckers actually watch the games on CBC instead of RDS? I only switch off RDS when they're playing on TSN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends...I usually watch the game in French on RDS...but if the Habs are losing, I switch over to TSN or CBC(depending on which channel the Habs are also playing on) in the hopes that maybe it'll change things! I know, I know! It's weird and doesn't actually change anything... that's the way I do it! Edited December 10, 2008 by Habsfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saskhab Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I don't get RDS in HD. So I'll watch the CBC, TSN, and last night... Sportsnet West broadcasts when I can due to them being in HD. The only CBC I get in HD is CBC Toronto, so usually those games I'll watch in RDS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally prefer hearing all that, you can actually feel that the game is live. The broadcasts on RDS are just so dull and monotone; while sometimes it seems that the crowd is quiet and that there's no atmosphere, it is actually completely different on channels like TSN and CBC that don't put ALL the emphasis on commentary. I just prefer game action over commentary than the other way around... espcecially since most of the time I'm not even paying attention to what they're saying...

I often watch hockey on mute when I watch it alone. I don't really mind about the sounds of the game. We all know how a hit sounds when we see the speed of the hitter and how the receiver hit the board. Well, call me crazy, but I think I'm able to ear the hockey sounds even when on mute...

MFT77 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I think it should be pretty obvious that O'byrne needs a stint back in Hamilton to help get his confidence back. He played like 8 minutes tonite, almost twice causing a goal. The only good thing he did was getting in a fight so he'd be off the ice for 5 minutes. C'mon BG, get a d-man who can fire puck from the point. Even if it is just a PP specialist, he can at least play more than the 10 minutes O'byrne is playing and cannnot be any worse. Even when Komi gets back, still need someone for depth as Breezer needs a rest once in a while and even Cube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
