Tambellini to the Rescue!
December 3rd, 2007 by Tom
Seems like this is an item we post every year now. The Isles have called up hotshot sniper Jeff Tambellini from the Sound Tigers to help jumpstart what has become a moribund offense. Tambellini was tearing it up in Bridgeport, registering 21 points in 20 games. For his NHL career, Tambellini has 3 goals and 10 assists in 51 games.
The Isles haven’t scored more than two goals in 12 straight games and have tallied just 56 times in 24 games, an average of 2.3 goals per game. The 56 goals are the fewest in the league, as is the 2.3 per game average.
“Right now I need to step in and show that I can play and really assert myself in this league and with this team,” Tambellini told Newsday.
Bringing up Tambellini is a nice idea. Coach Ted Nolan may also need to shuffle the lines a bit and GM Garth Snow may need to start scouring the market. This offense needs more than just a temporary spark.
On another note, nice job by the Jets and Giants yesterday. Not often both those squads win on the same day. So glad the Jets showed up against the Fish.
