The Canadiens assigned Ryan O'Byrne to Hamilton (AHL) this morning.
http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=219631&hubname=
Ah man, that's too bad. On the other hand, though, better that he get a lot of ice time in key situations in Hamilton than be the 7th defenseman and only play one game in five in Montreal.
This is pretty surprising. I wouldn't be surprised if we see him back before the end of the month.
Sounded like the coach wants him to put in 20-30 minutes a game down in Hamilton to keep getting experience instead of riding the pine. It also sounds like he'll be the first call-up if there are any injuries, which is likely to happen with Briesbois.

Murray in the lineup for San Jose tonight. Game available on the free preview of Center Ice that's being shown by most cable providers. On Time Warner in NYC it's channel 437, don't know what it is elsewhere.
Edit: Getting significantly less ice time than the other five d-men the Sharks have dressed thus far. I haven't actually even been able to figure out who he's paired with. McLaren, maybe.
Edit again: Doesn't even look like he's killing penalties, which is odd.

He got a 2-5-10 for instigating in retaliation for a knee by Raffe Torres. I missed it so I can't report on what happened.
Shane Hynes is out of the Portland line-up with a broken foot. from hockeysfuture.com (http://hockeysfuture.com)
I had very nice news from the family that Mark McCutcheon has signed Colorado's AHL affiliate, the Lake Erie Monsters and will be in Cleveland.
Way to go Mark!

Nice scrap, thanks for posting. Murray came pretty close to losing there early on.
According to the roster on NHL.com, Douglas is playing again tonight.
[quote Jacob '06]According to the roster on NHL.com, Douglas is playing again tonight.[/quote]Douglas has two assists tonight through two periods, both on goals by Jeremy Roenick. 4 assists in 69 games over the previous two seasons, so two in the first two games this season isn't bad at all.
Ugh, the comments on that thread highlight everything that's wrong with the NHL. "Hockey needs more fighting"? "Gotta love a shootout"? ::yark::
Douglas took a regular shift and played very well. And, his response to Raffi Torres's reckless play has been very well received by his teammates and coaches.
Giving Douglas Murray an instigator penalty for that fight reveals a big flaw in the instigator penalty, in my opinion. Why deter a fight in that situation when the strongest reason for permitting fighting in hockey is to hold players accountable for their dangerous actions? I don't think the instigator penalty should be abolished, but it should be used when a fight is an immediate response to an opponent's act that created a significant risk of injury to the fighter or the fighter's teammate.
it's because the reason for allowing fighting in hockey is no longer to protect star players or as a deterrent to dangerous play. This was the reason for fighting in the first place. It worked too, there's a reason why Wayne Gretzky (all 5'11". 180 lbs of him) didn't get hurt more often. It's because aposing players knew that running him meant tangling with Dave Semenko.
But once you make fighting a choice, it no longer acts as a deterrent. All I have to do is turtle, as Darius Kasparitis used to do all the time, let you take the instigator, and then go on my marry way. Where's the deterrent? Most fights these days take place between two enforcers that are on the ice just to fight each other. But what do I care if a guy on my team that is paid to fight drops the gloves with another guy that is also paid to fight? How does that affect the rest of the team or their behavior? How does it stop someone from taking a run at a star player? Or taking liberties with their stick or elbows?
This is the reason why the instigator is the dumbest rule in sports.
I saw Ryan O'Byrne play in Rochester during the Bulldog's season opener last night. The Bulldogs won 3-2 in OT, all goals were even-strength, yet he managed to be +3 with an assist on the game winning goal (in which he set up a 2 on 1).
He was by far their best defenseman out there...especially when you consider that Jon Gleed was -2 for the night.
[quote Josh '99]Douglas has two assists tonight through two periods, both on goals by Jeremy Roenick. 4 assists in 69 games over the previous two seasons, so two in the first two games this season isn't bad at all.[/quote]
I thought Doug looked strong against Vancouver. Announcers missed the Roenick deflection at first and thought that Douglas had a goal - they were clueless, they didn't know that it would have been his first. In any event he played solid and had good ice time.
That youtube clip made it seem like Douglas connected with a big right at the end of the fight. Torres is a tough guy and incredibly strong, it was a nice scrap. Congrats to Douglas for getting up twice instead of turtling.
Interesting too that if you listen to the announcers at the end of that clip they thought that Torres would get the only extra two, yet it was Murray that got the extra penalties.
I don't believe that hockey needs more fighting, and I continue to believe that the right way to prevent dangerous and/or dirty hits is for the league to punish them appropriately. That being said, if the league isn't going to get its act together and get it right, then the players need to be able to do something about it.
Murray only played about 10 minutes in the Sharks' 6-2 loss in Denver last night. (I guess maybe because the Sharks spent much of the game trying to catch up.) He fought Ian Laperriere and was even in +/-, one of only five Sharks not to be a minus on the night.
The arguments about fighting come down to a matter of taste. John knows and likes the European style so he views fighting as barbaric; I know and like the WHL style so I view fighting as an appropriate enforcement strategy.
Fighting can get out of hand. Most fighting injuries probably happen during line brawls when guys fall, get their knees twisted, get sucker-pucnhed, get cut by an errant skate, etc. The "leaving the bench" DQ cut down on line brawls and that was a good thing, and the CHL's rules about fighting penalties during the final minutes of blow out games (suspension and league review) helped eliminate some of the Slapshot circus garbage that used to plague junior hockey.
The question is whether lack of fighting can "get out of hand." It doesn't seem to in the NCAA. In the NHL, there are players who carry sticks high with relative impunity -- that would last about ten seconds of the next shift in the CHL. There isn't a problem with high end talent getting hurt in the NHL because the league went overboard protecting its marquee players. Fighting didn't protect Gretzky after his second year in the league -- you just weren't allowed to check him without going to the box. This has now extended out to every team's top three or four scorers and it makes the NHL about as interesting as women's no-contact hockey. They should bring back hard checking, but that also means fighting will come back, as the players enforce the appropriate level of force, themselves.

Yeah, looked to me he had the upper hand except when Torres threw him to the ground (which seems like a cheap ploy to avoid the punches).

Honestly, I think this true in only in a selective sense. It's certainly the case that anybody who gets within breathing distance of Sydney Crosby gets whistled. But, as a Ranger fan, I've watched Jagr absorb plenty of ugly hits without turning so much as head from the ref. When I was living out in colorado I saw the same thing with Foppa. Certain stars, those with larger frames and a physical component to their game, don't enjoy the same protection as smaller players.
The other problem is that the league can only penalize those hits that it deems to be illegal, and many dangerous hits are perfectly within the rules. I was out in Colorado for the whole Bertuzzi mess. I don't want to get into the morality of what Bertuzzi did, I feel that it was abhorrent. but Gregg Moore never even thinks about blind-siding Naslund like that if he knows that there are going to be immediate physical repercussions for doing so. The issue has nothing to do with whether or not the hit was legal, which I believe that it was, but rather that you don't throw a borderline hit on a star player if you know that the opposing teams goon is going to pound you into a pulp on your next shift. With the protection of the instigator, the range of what you can get away with is so much greater. Heavy suspensions work just fine if the hit is obviously illegal and there is a clear intent to injure (anybody who watched the Downie hit knew that he was trying to take that Senator's head off.) But it's impossible to legislate a hit like Moore's out of the game, which was borderline at best and clearly not meant to knock Naslund out the way it did. The only way stop that sort of hit is to allow a team to self police all dangerous hits laid on their star, regardless of legality.
[quote evilnaturedrobot]The only way stop that sort of hit is to allow a team to self police all dangerous hits laid on their star, regardless of legality.[/quote]
If a hit is legal then players and teams should man up and accept that it's within the rules. The proper response is not to send your goon out to start a fight. It's laying the best legal hits you can on the guy and his teammates.
If I'm the commissioner, I can't find that position acceptable. I need my stars on the ice, they are less expendable than other players. What you're proposing is that the other team go out and run the other team's top player, which does happen. These hits will be just as borderline as the one that started the whole sequence of events in motion, as they will be given to send a message. A great 'legal' hit can be catching a player coming through the zone with his head down. It can be a well placed hip check right at or above the knee. Those two 'legal' hist are two of the most dangerous in hockey. All you're going to do is get more players hurt.
One way or another a big hit on a star is going to result in an act of retaliatory violence. Despite the brutality of fighting, it actually results in far fewer major injuries than hitting does. Major injuries usually happen when a player has there head down or is in a prone position, something which never happens in a fight. I'd rather have players retaliating by squaring off with their fists than by violently blind-siding an opposing player, even though the latter is often legal.
And that doesn't even broach the subject of stick swinging, which seems to have been on the rise as fighting has gone down.
Looks like McKee was released from his tryout with San Antonio and signed back up with the Augusta Lynx (ECHL). I guess we won't see the Cornell goalie cage match between LeNeveu and McKee in the AHL.

O'Byrne article from
The Montreal Gazette on the ECAC site today:
QuoteFeature: It's Just a Matter of Time for O'Byrne
The following feature article on former Cornell defenseman Ryan O'Byrne appeared in the October 18 issue of The Montreal Gazette. The article can be accessed via the Gazette Web site by clicking here.
JOHN MEAGHER
The Montreal Gazette
Ryan O'Byrne admits he was disappointed to be the last defenceman cut by the Canadiens at last month's training camp.
But the hulking 6-foot-6, 228-pound defenceman is determined to make the best of his situation with the Hamilton Bulldogs of the American Hockey League.
O'Byrne is off to a promising start with three assists in three games. He is also a solid plus-4 for the Bulldogs, who have posted a 2-0-0-1 record.
More importantly, from a developmental standpoint, he is logging more than 20 minutes per game.
"It's been great so far," he said. "I'm playing in all situations, power play and penalty killing. I came down with a ton of confidence, being one of the last cuts.
"Obviously, the AHL is not the NHL, in terms of calibre, but it's still a great league."
O'Byrne has a two-way contract that facilitated his return to the AHL. He accepted the Canadiens' verdict to go with veteran rearguards like Patrice Brisebois.
"The Canadiens have a lot of proven defenders up there who've played 100-plus or a 1,000-plus NHL games," O'Byrne said. "I'm only in my second year of pro, out of college.
"It's one of these things where it's not going to hurt me coming back to the AHL and playing a lot of minutes."
Canadiens brass told O'Byrne to work on his overall game in Hamilton.
"The Canadiens just told me to go back there and work on all facets of my game," he said. "They told me I had a good camp and looked strong, but they said just to work on moving the puck quicker, make sure you never get beat one-on-one, and just try to dominate games. Basically, try to be the best player on the ice some nights. Get the experience. ... Make a good first pass. Every team needs one of those guys."
O'Byrne, 23, has meshed well with defence partner Pavel
Valentenko, a 6-foot-2, 208-pound Russian who turns 20 Saturday.
"Pavel's got lots of skill and talent," O'Byrne said. "He's a big kid and he hits hard. He's going to be a good player, a very good player.
"I think we play similar styles. We're both physical players. He doesn't speak English really well, but he understands the game of hockey."
O'Byrne leads the Bulldogs in penalty minutes with 10 - all minors. Last season, he picked up seven fighting majors among his 129 penalty minutes. He said he'll fight when necessary.
"They don't talk to me about dropping the gloves, but it's part of the game," O'Byrne said. "Sometimes you've got to stand up for teammates. I've got no problem fighting. It's something I do once in a while."
O'Byrne, who had 12 assists in 80 AHL games last season, said he felt comfortable rejoining the Bulldogs, the defending AHL Calder Cup champions.
"We have a lot of returning guys, so everybody knows each other," he said.
"We all get along. Even though it's only been three games, the team is playing well."
As for the possibility of getting recalled by the Canadiens this season, O'Byrne says time is on his side.
"All I can do is wait for my chance and hope that I'm ready."
Murray should be getting a few more minutes than normal tonight because Kyle McLaren is out for the sharks.

Very likely. If McKee does not start, it will be former Colgate goaltender Steve Silverthorn.
By the way, 2004 Hobey Baker winner Junior Lessard also plays for the Stars... And playing defense for the Rampage in front of LeNeveu is Dylan Reese.

They're .500 after 9 games, fwiw. Unfortunately the AHL site doesn't provide stats on minutes played.
Perhaps not something to brag about, but as of this posting, Doug's the league leader in the PIM category. The good news is that he's playing tough, and that on most of his penalty minutes, he's taken someone with him, so he hasn't put the Sharks a man down.

It's nice to see that Murray has found himself a niche in the NHL. But it's a little saddening that the only Cornell skater to be a Hobey Baker finalist in the last twenty years can only succeed as an enforcer.

Awesome job. Thanks, Pfibiger!

From my brief reading, it sounds like they are very sentimental people.

"We initially saw Jean-Marc play when he was a member of the Philadelphia Phantoms (in a nutshell, Pelts was in net on the night of our first date, starting this madness, I mean collection). The jerseys on this page were worn by former Philadelphia Phantoms. Click on the player name for pictures and descriptions of the jerseys."
I'm not sure this "obsession" can be explained by falling madly in love at a hockey game on your first date. But then again, I'm not qualified to offer an opinion on that.

Thank you! Any chance we can get you copy this over to start the November thread?
There's one here (http://www.torontomarlies.com/team/StaffDirectory.asp). See if you can find it.

Director, Business Operations...Jim Edmands played in goal. But when? I'm guessing sometime around 1984-1987 with Dadswell and D'Alessio?

Just the 1984 season, I think... (and D'Alessio didn't start until the 1988 season).
From this year's media guide http://www.cornellbigred.com/Pdfs/mhockey/2007/10/24/Records_55-84.pdf

In the team photo of the 1986 ECACHL [sic] Champions

How about that! Thanks.
