I know this kid has serious defensive deficencies but I think in order to spark this group ESPECIALLY in the offensive department Gordon should play Tambellini alot more.

Here's a thought throw him out there on a line with Weight and Tavares. I know, I know BOTH Tavares and Weight are centers but Weight has the experience to work that out (defensive assignments) with John. Tambellini's speed just may provide a little separation in the oppostion's game which may take a little heat off of Tavares (unless of course they play a strict man on Tavares).
