Carbo: "We hoped for Christmas review Komisarek"

When Mike Komisarek left the ice after his fight with Milan Lucic, last week in Boston, Canadian remained silent on the nature of his injury and the early period of his absence. In fact, conceding that Komisarek would not travel three games that was coming, the Habs left to float a false optimism. Not only the big defender will not match the other hand face the Bruins tonight, but will be out of the game four to five weeks, according to Guy Carbonneau. "It was difficult to assess the status of Mike because of the swelling," said Carbo, never confirm that Komisarek was suffering really is a dislocated shoulder. "Then, in the days that followed, he underwent further testing to be certain of that diagnosis. "We hope to see him again at Christmas." This is a blow for a brigade which, in the short term, does not have much depth, which must employ a Roman Hamrlik decreased by sores and a Ryan O'Byrne who knows his share of trouble. And as bad news never comes alone, Guillaume Latendresse missed training yesterday due to an injury which he himself preferred silence nature. "We will see tomorrow if he can play" said Carbo. In training, he had placed Sergei Kostitsyn alongside Saku Koivu and Alex Tanguay. The name of Mike Komisarek was placed on the injured list, allowing the Canadian to release a place in his training to replace him. Earlier this week, the CEO of Hamilton Bulldogs, Julien Brisebois, a colleague entrusted to Mathias Brunet and short-term, the robust Alex Henry could be rather a reminder that young Yannick Weber and Matt Carle, whose defensive play is still polishing. "Henry has 175 games of experience in the NHL and is one of our defenders the most stable," said Brisebois. Guy Carbonneau said yesterday that some defenders in Hamilton "Do a phone call." But he also recalled that if necessary, Mathieu Dandenault could assist in the blue line. However, even if the Habs held the fort in the absence of Komisarek - eight goals allowed in four games - its loss may be felt in the longer term. The back 26 years is the most robust in the Canadian and undoubtedly the best to block shots. "We must not seek to replace, but each play our own style more relieved," said Josh Gorges yesterday, which was the player most used by Carbo, Thursday, against the Senators (27:33). Question: Given the problems of the Habs in its transition game and the fulcrum in the digital benefits, the injury Komisarek encourage Does Bob Gainey to inquire about the availability of Jay Bouwmeester? We hope so. Meanwhile, Carey Price acknowledges that he is going to miss Komisarek. "Oh! Clearly, he said. But fortunately the guys play well in front of me. Thursday, against the Senators, had given only 11 shots after two periods ... " Several noted that Josh Gorges had raised his level of play since he was paired with Andrei Markov. "Josh had a defect in the past, that want to play as a big player even if he is not, said Guy Carbonneau. Since he stopped wanting to run around, it has become much more efficient. " "I like to play more often because I better take my rhythm and I do not have time to think back to the bench, said Gorges. "Having more responsibility is a challenge, but I love challenges."
