Marc you forgot Ryan Glenn at St. Lawrence. Both Glenn (entering his senior and final year) and O'byrne play in the ECAC, whereas Selig (entering his senior and final year) plays in Hockey East. And yes we own his rights.

Thanks, Dan. I was not really sure. No problem. I can help with the updates as I get a lot of NCAA hockey games on tv and I also get the NCAA sports channel (new channel just started last month, but will show at least one NCAA Div-1 hockey game every Friday night) Last year I watch Cornell play a completely flawless game as they smoked Yale 3-0. The must be very well coached, as their defensive system was most impressive. I may attend a Big Red game, but tickets are very hard to come by. |

Dan, where do you live?
And I must ask if you are of Estonian descent, because linn means town/city in that language.

Dan, where do you live? And I must ask if you are of Estonian descent, because linn means town/city in that language. I live in the states, not too far from the Erie Otters. But I move a lot and I am considering moving closer to Hamilton, but I don't know if that will be possible. Vermont I liked a lot and wouldn't mind living there either.  With directv I get a ton of NCAA games, but I have to get CHL games on tape. I can't get any WHL games, but OHL games are easier since I know some people in the area. Q games are even harder to get, but I am working on that! No I'm not Estonian, not even sure what that is. I'm Irish, Scottish, and small amount from Denmark. |

I intend providing a scouting report on Ryan O'Byrne in the November 7 Yale-Cornell game. I'll also try to get a report (second-hand) on Glenn.

Looks like the first game of the NCAA season starts tomorrow night at 8 pm. It's St. Lawrence and It will be on the new NCAA sports channel, so I'll get to watch Habs prospect Ryan Glenn #44, play tomorrow night.  I'll post my thoughts on the game later. |

I'm going to the Yale-Cornell game friday. Will report on O'Byrne if he plays. |

Out of the 3 NCAA prospects, only Glenn had any pts tonight. 1a for Glenn, who now has 3pts. Selig is not starting good at all, 0 pts in 6 games, isn't good for a guy who needs a contract this summer. Hopefully he gets it going, but he'll need to do a lot.
O'Byrne didn't have any pts tonight or this season in 3 games.

I attended the Yale-Cornell game. Ryan O'Byrne played right defense (he shoots right). He's a tall, gangly young man, not a beefy bruiser. As a freshman he didn't receive as much ice time as some of the upperclassmen on what is undoubtedly a strong Cornell team, which has several NHL draft picks on its roster.
O'Byrne plays conservatively and wasn't caught out of position. Nor did he make any mistakes. He's a fairly fast skater but not a fancy one. He made one move that impressed me. Instead of shooting at goal or passing into the corner from the right point he passed cross-ice to his partner on the left point, who had a better play.
He shoved a few Yale forwards against the boards but didn't crush them. He also knocked a small player down on open ice but that player immediaqtely goty up none the worse for wear.
Whom does O'Byrne remind me of? Vaguely, of Ken Morrow. If he lives up to that image he might have an NHL career, although that's not guaranteed. In short, not bad, not remarkable. Let's see what happens further along in his stay at Cornell, when his coach gains ffull confidence in him.
Yale is markedly weaker without Chris Higgins. Tim Taylor, the coach, used a young forward (I think he's a freshman) at the right point on the PP, the way he used to with Higgins. It suggests Taylor thinks the kid has possibilities (although he's no Higgins at this point).

Cornell smokes Princeton 7-0, but no pts for O'byrne. He doesn't have any pts in 4 games so far, but Cornell is doing well.
Nothing for Glenn or Selig.

Princeton is really weak this season, possibly the weakest team in the ECAC. Frankly, I wasn't enormously impressed by Cornell (6-2 over Yale). Yes, they're a big, strong team, with Hynes, Hornby, and a number of other NHL drafts or future drafts, but the Yale goalie, Josh Gartner (Mike's son) was dreadful, and there are few good players on the team. Not only did Gartner fail to make stops but his positioning was poor. Callahan, a Yale defenseman, who was a 3rd round pick by Phoenix? looked bad. He even looked bad when I saw him last season. A wasted draft pick.

Did anyone see the Cornell - Harvard game on the NHL network. I only caught pieces of it but from what I saw, O'Byrne still looks solid. He's not going to get many points because he kills penalties and doesn't play the power play. It's good to see the coach has enough confidence in a rookie to put him on the #1 PK unit.

Live report on Ryan Glenn of St. Lawrence, Habs 7th pick, #145 overall, in 2000. Glenn is a big kid, 6'5", more solid physically than Ryan O'Byrne. He skates well, defends the crease well, and passes OK. He may be the best player on his team. His only apparent weakness was a vulnerability to forechecking when he's at his own boards and has his back turned. I saw him lose the puck a few times in this manner in a game against Yale.

Thanks for the update Blaise. What do you think the chances are that Shasby and Glenn could replace Dykhuis and Traverse in Hamilton next year? |

No way is Glenn 6'5, not even close. I'd say more like 6'1. I have seen him early this year, but I don't think he grew that fast. ;D As for the best player on STL, I'd say is Pervily (sp?) and Bagnall (dallas pick maybe). He does have some muscle as he made some solid hits, and his offense has improved this year (which it should he's in his 4th year of NCAA) |

I saw a few minutes of the first period. O'Byrne had a regular shift. Didn't seem out of place. He's a project, but a worthwhile one. Figures, during the time I spent tuned in, the dippy announcers took the time to rib Canada for the WJC.  |
