Obyrne/Maxwell

Neither surprises me. OByrne needs ice time and confidence. Maxwell,
well didn't show me much of anything.

So they do not have any spare defencemen around. But of course O'Byrne
could not be used after he has been two weeks in the press box, so it is
better to play with five defencemen if someone is hurt.

It seems that they hope to get Saku Koivu back, because they will miss
Tanguay for some time as the diagnosis given so far is separated
shoulder. This would mean about one month. Even then they are likely to
call for someone, and Kyle Chipchura was actually first on the wish
list, when D'Agostini got his chance, but was hurt, so he will get his
chance now. My guess is, that Max Pacioretty will get a chance to show
what he is made of. Perhaps Koivu can help him to a good start, like he
did for D'Agostini.

I wonder if something is up. Tanguay supposedly is out for a month
(according to Ape), and now 2 guys are sent down. Either Koivu is coming
back and they plan to call up MaxPac and Chips, or else a trade may be in
the works, because without Tanguay and Koivu we are down to 18 players. Is
there a trade in the works?

Maintaining the minimum 20 or just 1 above that, which has been the Habs'
habit of late, would seem to indicate the desire to save cap space for a
future deal.....

Hopefully they call up another Dman, to tryout on the PP and maybe get
Breezy back to being a spare again. Or evaluate the need to trade for
another defencemen vice giving someone in the system a chance to step
up.

Tanguay is supposed to get an MRI today but heard on the radio he is
expected to be out one month.
