I have been reluctant to throw him back, but he is invisible shift after shift.

I'll give him until Christmas, too, then "re-gift" him. :santa:

He needed to change his AHL game and he hasn't, or refuses to. He needs poise with the puck. Hold it longer, look to do something with it, look at options when he has it. With him, it's just try and get a shot off (usually from a weak area) or just blindly throw the puck towards the net without any real purpose. If he'd just take a 1/2 second more with the puck and actually make a decision, you'd see a marked improvement in his game. Also getting infront of the net instead of along the wall would help.

But if he cant make the adjustment or refuses to then we have others who would like that spot.

:lol: :thumbsup:

I hope he scores his first against the Devs Friday.
Wonder how the team will react. I'm dying to see that.

I may wait long enough that I may die before I see that.

I'm pretty sure there's an update coming to the Wizard of Oz - in which Dorothy, Tin Man, etc. are changed to:

Tambellini (Poise)
Hunter (Footspeed)
Hilbert (Touch)
DiPietro (Durability)

This team of intrepid hockey heroes take a fantastic journey down Hempstead Turnpike to the spot where the first shovel will break ground for (what else?) the Lighthouse. There, they come across a shadowy figure, vaguely resembling Al Arbour, who grants them their wishes. Finally, a cast of hundreds of midg-- er, little people -- appear, singing an uplifting Lighthouse jingle, all dressed in skimpy / ill-fitting Ice Girl outfits.

Then - abruptly and inexplicably - the scene changes to an image of Charles Wang bolting out of bed, revealing that it was all
just...
a...
dream...

Or was it?
[Voiceover of Howie Rose calling a Tambellini goal -- "Jeff Tambellini gets the monkey off his back!" as credits roll]

I can see it now. Two kids are back at school after the Christmas holiday. They're talking about what they got from Santa.

Kid 1: I had a great Christmas. I got a Wii, new snowboard, new hockey helmet and a new puppy!!! What'd you get?

Kid 2: I must've been on the naughty list. On Christmas morning, I wake up and there, lying under the tree was Jeff Tambellini.

Kid1: Wow! You got Jeff Tambellini? How cool is that?

Kid 2: Not cool at all. I took him out in the driveway to shoot some pucks and his first shot sailed through the second floor bedroom window and hit my mom right in the forehead.

Kid 1: What'd you do?

Kid 2: I re-gifted him and gave him to Tommy.

WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO.......

I am officially proclaiming that Jeff Tambelllini sucks. He's not worth the roster spot. How much longer do we wait for this 'sniper' to score. he had a chance on a partial breakaway, but with his 'speed' a defenseman caught up to him. He's invisible and with the exception of that shot has nothing to even show he played last night. he's soft, 0 hits, 0 blocked shots. He's worthless, 1 shot, never in a good position to shoot.

Now Tim Jackman gets called up and is visible every shift. The guy came in with purpose and worked hard, played physical and was in the right position to net a goal.

He had a goal, 4 hits and 2 blocked shots. I see Jackman as the next Dave Scatchard for this team and if we send him back to bridgeport before permanently sitting Tambellini I will be very upset with management and their ability to put the best team on the ice with the resources they have.


GARTH,
TRADE, WAIVE OR SIT JEFF TAMBELLINI ONCE AND FOR ALL. ADMIT THIS PROJECT WAS A MISTAKE AND MOVE ON.


THE SPOT BELONGS TO TIM JACKMAN.

Agreed...4 seasons is enough. He just can't make the jump to the NHL for whatever reason. Put him on waivers...he'll get picked up by a team and will be a star in the AHL.
