Definitely a shame with Tambs because he has great wheels and a great shot but is often invisible on the ice. Comeau shows brief flashes of talent but hasnt proven himself at lower levels the way Tambellini has. 71, toughness describes neither Tambs or Comeau I doubt either has much of a future on this team.

Just so you know it can be worse. Re: goal song… just back from Europe (can’t BELIEVE I missed a Moulson hat trick) and I watched a German hockey game… when Berlin scored, they played the Can Can.

Mayers, ok yea hes pretty bad but i still don't want to give playing time a goon if he's a liability.

I honestly don't see either. I seem to notice him either coughing up the puck to avoid taking a hit or taking a long, no chance shot. He plays smaller than he is and I do not understand what the allure is here. Poor Tambellini gets benched when he was approaching the team lead in goals,in half the games played, and yet the whole organization keeps looking for the silver lining in a guy who does nothing offensively, is a defensive liability, and won't even stick up for himself (remember that Atlanta game last year) much less his teammates. Gordon should leave the top line alone, since it actually works, and leave Comeau in the pressbox where he belongs. 13, Comeaus “hands and puck patience?” I honestly don’t see either.

Need one. That being said JT is showing that he can handle himself pretty well. What did he do after Pronger pasted him against the boards with a cheap shot? He went and scored a goal. That my fellow Islander fans is a sign of greatness. It certainly wasn't lost on me. Having seen him play in the NHL thus far a few observations. Not a graceful skater, however he doesn't need to be. He is sneaky quick. He is holding up pretty well with his boards play, for a 19 year old playing against men he will only get better. Strong on the puck. His play making skills believe it or not where underrated IMO. He has a bit of an edge for a 19 year rookie. He has unbelievable hands. Its been a long time since I as an Islander fan have seen a player of this caliber wear the Jersey. I have no doubt in my mind he will be a 50 goal scorer in this league. He has a lot of desire. I can only hope we can somehow make him an Islander for a real long time. I wish we had Steve Webb and Mick Vukota. ….I second the goon. Need one.

After all he is a kid, too... hopefully in time the Isles will have their enforcer in him. Gordon and Snow are both pretty high on him. Lets give him time to cook up into what we need.

I was there for both the fight and the penalty shot, the penalty shot wins in my view, it was such a HUGE goal and the place was one of the loudest I have ever heard it. #1 image this decade to me is the Shawn Bates penalty shot.
