O'Byrne should move on to other things

Ryan O'Byrne has been possibly the most embarrassing moment of his young career by sending the puck into his goal in the third period against the Islanders. The rest is history: The Canadian has not been able to resume its advance and has saved New York with a victory in shooting barrage. It must be really pleased, especially since it is not a good start to the season and he plays very nervous. He even boo at the end of the game, this is nothing to improve his confidence. But O'Byrne is a young player and there will be many other moments that will mark one way or another. He should forget this incident and not drag this bad memory for the rest of his career. This is not the kind of thing that happens often in the career of a player and it is normal to be disappointed. It must be said that this is not the only factor in the defeat of Canadians: special units have not worked and O'Byrne is not the only one to blame. Forever I would have liked to see the veterans go O'Byrne to talk to him immediately after his gaffe. When he returned to the bench, he was alone, without any support. The minute he spent in solitary certainly seemed like an eternity. On the one hand, I understand the reaction of players to have frozen because it is not the kind of event we can predict. At least we saw after the game that his teammates came to his defense. O'Byrne is very nervous because he wants to do well in the eyes of his coaches. This is not an easy situation to live for the moment, but it does not ruin a career so far. The importance of Gorges Josh Gorges is a defender who impressed greatly since his arrival in Montreal. There was talk of him as a possible seventh defender and some saw the same in Hamilton. Things are different today. It is somewhat the same style as Francis Bouillon, ie it does not have a big fixture but it will stop at nothing It has its place slowly, and now with the absence of Mike Komisarek, he gained confidence in its submissions. Its games are simple and effective, which enabled him to win the confidence of the coach and Guy Carbonneau gives it a lot more responsibility. It responds very well to management's expectations. Carbo plays musical chairs The Canadian does not know his best moments of the season. When things go wrong, it is normal to see a coach continually change its trios. It tries to shake the attack and find solutions to unlock some players. The players already know each other and with what teammates know they have the greatest affinity. It only remains to find the right combination. Sometimes it can also take a lucky goal to boost an attack which has difficulty mark as is the case with the tricolor. Fuel power game The first month announced a beautiful season for the Canadiens but say it is a little different since the beginning of November. The biggest gap in the Canadian this season was the favorite weapon of Carbonneau last year: the digital advantage. As of Tuesday, the Canadian has been entitled to 100 digital benefits since the beginning of the season but has scored only 15 goals for a meager 15 percent success, ranking 23rd in the league. I hope that it will replace the Canadian. The execution is still good. Rather, the finishing is the problem. The team is full of talent and there is a little more work from major players. Everything is a question of will. As I said before, a lucky goal or a lucky victory could restore confidence in the attack. Evaluate the team before moving Bob Gainey is a very good general manager and is on the lookout for everything that happens in the league. We just think the record Mats Sundin in which he was very involved. Before making a movement, it will assess the needs of the team. I repeat: If the CH has a transaction to be done, I hope it will be to acquire an experienced defender is able to carry the attack. There are already Andrei Markov fact that while Komisarek is the specialist in strength and Roman Hamrlik responsible defensive game. In Montreal, the centennial and we talk a lot of the Stanley Cup. It lacks a fourth defender to the team to aspire to top honors. I said in a previous column that Philippe Boucher was a perfect candidate. Now he is returned to Pittsburgh, it remains to be seen whether other defenders may be of interest Gainey. If the name of Jay Bouwmeester often in rumors, we must first know what to give back. At that time, we can compare what is in the best interest of CH.
