Fresh Ice and New Sweaters

I know its been awhile since I last posted, but I finally have a working computer and internet. As I sit here in class, I can only think about who is going to make the final roster cut. I believe we are all hoping that Hilbert, who has been playing on a line with both Satan and Josef V, was merely given one final look. Jeff Tambellini needs to be on this team.

If there is ever a seasonto go with youth, 2007-2008 is that season. Just look at the Bronx Bombers who after starting the year with a veteran heavy lineup injected the likes of Melky Cabrera, Shelley Duncan, and Joba Chamberlain and have made the playoffs in the last week of the season. Since we live in a copy cat world, Snolan should cut Hilbert and finally let Tambellini prove himself at the NHL level. It can't be any worse than watching Hilbert float around the ice occasionally hitting a post or two. Rather, I believe Tambellini can be a solid contributer at the NHL level.

The defensive end is a bit more tricky. Going with youth here could hurt us more than help. Signing Berard is the direction I would go. He should work wonders with MAB on the powerplay and solidfy the 3rd defensive with Bruno. FM IV should be sent through waivers where he will end up in the Bridge or elsewhere. Campoli should be kept up with the club because exposing him to waivers will most likely lead to another team claiming him.
