Munson'd out in the middle of Nashville

Okay, when a guy named Vern Fiddler--no offense, anyone who is Googling him--but when a dude named Vern Fiddler scores to beat you, well it just ain't going good.

The Isles lost to the Pre-daters 1-0 on that goal by Fiddler. This now brings the winless streak to eight games (0-7-1). That's right; it's a one-point December. Merry Christmas, Scott Gordon.

Wait--there's more! Doug Weight missed the last half or so of the game with...anyone? Yes, that's right: a groin in-jo-ree gruh-gruh- groin in-jo-ree. Add in the fact that Andy Sutton broke his foot Friday in Minnesota and the Islanders injury list is now longer than Santa's Nice or Naughty Lists. No wonder they're not winning.

Blake Comeau--who spent Friday night in Minnesota eating nachos in the press box while Mitch Fritz spent it nailed to the bench, was back in the lineup last night. What does Gordon have against Comeau? Fritz continues to make as much of an impact as Vince the creepy Shamwow guy would in the Mojave desert and Comeau is scratched in his place. I don't get that one.

And what do we do about Tambellini? He has finished his "conditioning" stint with the Soundtigers. Is he up or does he get waived. I'm think the injury rash will make that decision for the Islanders and I also don't know that bringing him back to the Island is really what they want to do.

Well, I am done with the weekend mini-vent. I'm tired and I am going back to bed.
