I’m very excited by this, this is one of the guys i’ve had the pleasure of watching around here for several seasons. He was out a good portion last year because he suffered a nasty concussion, but he doesn’t shy away from the fray. Think of the aggressiveness of Morency and the size of Rechlicz combined. He can win fights. Did I mention I was excited?

2:40 TOI (allegedly 1:21 on the powerplay?!)

In a way, it doesn’t surprise me. Put the big body in front of the net to screen the goalie.

I’ve seen him play a few times and Trevor is much more of a weapon than those other guys not to mention a much better fighter than Jackman(Wrecker is pretty good).

However the teams offense has been whats holding us down the last few games not our ability to scrap. So I say scratch Comeau & Sim (since they would never scratch Hunter Weight or Park) and inject Tambi and Bergie on the line with Schremp and throw Gillies in Bergies spot on the Park/Weight line that is basically useless 5 on 5 anyway (Weight is a PP guy and Park is an SH guy strictly).

But since Gordon has a stink eye on Tambellini and all offensive players we will probably see the Isles scratch Schremp because hes not big enough and because he made one big turnover (the kind Comeau makes regularly) and I will have a miserable time watching the Matinee game,

DRESS TAMBI!!!

even if he isn’t kin to Clarkie.

If this guy has any skating ability he can easily turn the tide against top lines. Whereas the other team only had to look out for a bunch of stick checks and an occasional body tap they now have to look over their shoulder when chasing pucks into their defensive zone. Now if he can manage to fit into the role that Flash Gordon gives him, which I am sure will be similar what Webb used to do, he could open some doors for the Isles.

When you think about the timeline on this one; Gordon makes a public statement about knocking people on their a$$e$, the Isles struggling to make it into the playoffs and Snow issuing his proclamation to add some people for the playoff push.

Can this guy skate and does he have enough endurance to fill a skating roll rather than a traditional enforcer roll. I really can’t see Snow signing a traditional enforcer after all of the statements he has made.

Any reason they just couldn’t bring up Riechliz? I mean it sounds like a bit of a waste of a spot. I know its Philly, but like I’ve stated a ton of times before, the way you make teams pay for taking stupid penalites is via the PP, not putting someone on the bench who can’t skate.
