Lets try a different direction, how about icing a Tougher team? Maybe one not so BORING!!!

Don't judge until Christmas- if he has less than 5-10 goals by then, he's probably a bust. That said, by that time he has already been replaced by Comeau- who is deserving as many have mentioned. But this being a rebuilding year, we shouldn't be worried about Comeau, its getting guys like tambs going that we should be worried about- hopefully he comes through with increased responsibility and opportunity. As an Isles fan, you should want Tambs to do well- think positive! There's still time... On Tambs…there is still TIME for him to show what he can do.

Would not get in a tizzy over Comeau, not yet. Posting soon on lines at practice today.

You can also see Comeau and Bergy switching off based on who is on PK & PP. If Fritz is in the lineup like last night it does not have the same feel, they will not be rolling the lines, last night he got less than 6 minutes. For Friday night with the team and the way NJ looks to be playing very physical I can see Fritz or Jackman in the lineup in lieu of Hilbert. Or one of them will be in the lineup shortly as I can not see Gordon putting up with Hilbert's notorious slow start.

What has Tambellini done to keep getting these chances ? Get him out of here NOW !!!! Trevor Smith has earned a spot over this bum this preseason- but since Tambellini is Snows little Pet he will get a roster spot over a few guys that deserve it. WAKE UP ISLANDERS !!!!!!!

He led the d in +/- and was the only one to score. Last night was the first time they lost with him in the line-up. And, look at what happened once he got hurt.... Hillen would benefit from starting in the AHL, playing 25+ minutes in all situations. IMO I think that had Lee not been injured last night his play in the pre-season warranted a longer look.

It was because "DP" was awful. I think last night was an aberration however, considering it was his first night in the net in many months. I hope he gets better in a hurry.

If he's not getting real minutes it would be an insult. What a way to reward your (arguably) best player from last year. And Chris, congratulations...in a couple weeks you've exceeded the number of posts I've done on my blog in over 15 months. Prolific indeed, keep up the good work. Agree with thos above me on Comeau.
