From the Montreal Canadiens:
The Canadiens announced Monday that defenseman Ryan O’Byrne has been recalled from the AHL’s Hamilton Bulldogs.
O’Byrne, assigned to the Bulldogs on December 31, 2008, scored five points (one goal, four assists), posted a plus-7 rating and served 27 penalty minutes in 13 games this season with Hamilton. The 6-foot-6, 228-pound blueliner, who started the season in Montreal, collected three points (three assists) with 23 penalty minutes in 22 games with the Canadiens in 2008-09.
O’Byrne, 24, was a Canadiens third round selection, 79th overall, in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft.

Christopher Higgins has also been given the green light by team doctors to resume playing so we should see him in the lineup against Tampa Bay Lightning tomorrow.
It’s nice to see the Canadiens giving Ryan O’Byrne another shot. I just wonder if it’s also a way to showcase the hulking defenseman leading up to the trade deadline. Is it a coincidence that he is being recalled for a road trip to Florida?…… just a little food for thought, folks!!
Sorry Ryan!, but I’ve had this photo mothballed since the “Pursegate” incident and thought it would be the last time I could use it again before you’re traded to the Lightning or Panthers!!!
