Great Effort by Jeff Tambellini

[nuwenese]

I wish he developed further to stick around Vancouver.

[zhesandman]

i remember watching this game and saying "holy fuck he's fast!"

[flameman88]

#Holy shit!

[FTorres05]

I miss himm <3 :(



[UVERworld4Life]

best of luck tamby : ]

[VenenoProductions]

Tambi is gone :(

[ehaddss55]

@VenenoProductions hehe to the ZSC Lions <3

[asanrules]

good luck in the swiss league tamby! if you show HALF the effort you did in this video you will be a superstar over there!

[covergirll]

That is why I love him and he deserves more credit than what he gets for how good a player he is

[Memmorandumi]

Tambo better replace mayray tomorrow

[NoBiggieJustMiggie]

Go Tambellini. Use tackle attack!!! It was super-effective

[azure360]

jet mode

[FloJo888]

Tambellini backchecks like Bure attacked the net...

[4N6dub]

bury |ˈberē|

verb ( buries, buried) [ trans. ]

put or hide under ground : he buried the box in the back garden |"Off the bench comes Martin Erat.. he's got the puck Tambellini comes back and buries him!" [as adj. ] ( buried) buried treasure.

[LMFAOeveryday]

holy fricking god. I still get the chills when I see this.

Friggin BEAST TAMBY.

[Terminus92]

i jizzed when i saw this like seriously no joke and i was in the living room when this happened

[iMike95]

Tambellini is unbelievably fast! GO CANUCKS GO!!!!

[dippydizzy604]

man i hope AV put this guy in the line up tom!

[Pepsicoke33]

@zZzFernandezZz More like Raymond's speed!

[nyidangle17]

Im a big Tambellini fan, and i was pumped he got to play in this game. he wasnt playing a lot, but i was happy he was able to contribute off the scoresheet by saving a possible goal

[412dino]

fuckin buries him!

[1826hockey]

shoulda had Tambellini in for the whole playoffs

[nyidangle17]

@1826hockey agreed

[kanyeezy24]

i thought the ref called a penalty shot when he pointed at the faceoff circle...i was like wtf

[mcdangles89]

as soon as he hit the blueline he turned on the jets

[GoDLyKILLAS]

@Reperkussion Fags in this world like him :) go canucks

[xlatinabebe]

i love how he finally got a chance <3 been rooting for this boy the whole way. tambo loveeee <3

[LeathaFace17]

Jeff TamBULLini

[jonathangears]

hopefully he'll get some more ice time in the Sharks series. He deserves it on account of this one play

[nuwenese]

Wow that guy had distance from blueline to redline advantage

[IrishDancerJJ1996]

I didn't realize it while I was watching it on TV but now I see just how fast Tambo moved to check him!!! so awesome!!! :D

[prabjot8]

@zZzFernandezZz or wings :P

[vitgrosa]

Turbollini engage 

[kanyeezy24]

@zZzFernandezZz. you mean the wings right?

[Jakisoown]

@zZzFernandezZz Thats what you guys said about Chicago last year when you beat the kings....and we saw what happened afterwards....

[SH7861WeezyBabyy]

@Jakisoown this clearly isnt last year.

[Jakisoown]

@SH7861WeezyBabyy never say never. The canucks seem better this year but the sharks or the wings seem pretty good too.

[SH7861WeezyBabyy]

@Jakisoown But this is not last year, clearly it is not. When the Canucks blew the 3-0 lead to Chicago in the first round, apparently we were done, not good enough. Sharks do the same to the Wings, but they still lookin' good! Geez.

[Jakisoown]

@SH7861WeezyBabyy It still proves anything can happen, the canucks were winning the series 3-0 and Chicago came back fiercely and end up losing in the final game, this proves how the canucks can either win and lose the conference champs because of this, they might just lose all of the first 3 games just to tie up the series and lose in the final game like Chicago, or vice versa, or just get blown out in the first 4 games, sure the final prediction doesn't seem real but I guess my final point is

[Jakisoown]

@Jakisoown is that anything can happen here

[SH7861WeezyBabyy]

@Jakisoown .......ok, i mean ...never mind

[crunk4124]

0:01 - 0:03

Look at Tambellini's speed...

Incredible.

[etsen3]

Histoy backchecks.

[goinghard101]

what an awseome play ! he friggin flew !! that a boy Tambellini

[lilmunchkin002]

He's my favorite player. I really wish he got more chances to prove he is a good player. Maybe this play will get him into the next game. Love you Tambo <3

[astroxin]

Erat made 3 accounts just to dislike this video <3

[robbertokromwell]

speed skating is that way ===>>

[Jakisoown]

Look fellas, fellas, its all in the past now, Vancouver won, Nashville lost, its set in stone. What matters now is the Wings beating the sharks and then to go on and beat the living piss out of Vancouver in the semi finals, that way there'll be a happy ending :)

[merksteenson]

@Jakisoown detroit couldn't beat vancouver in regulation all season and they're all old and beaten up. they will beat san jose in game 7, but will use up all their energy doing so... canucks in 6 vs. detroit and canucks in 7 vs. boston.

[MrSh1ftn]

i think he broke the sound barrier entering the canucks zone

[MrWiztor]

yo what the fuck? I thought speedhacking was illegal in hockey :P

[CRonaldo162]

TAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMBSSS

[PhadeCN]

lol Canucks were given this series by the refs. They have no chance against the Wings or Sharks.

[GoDLyKILLAS]

@PhadeCN if ur going to hate stop watching the video

[Dylann62]

@PhadeCN no one cares about your opinion

[xMakeupAddiction]

@PhadeCN Are you serious? Canucks were not given the series! The Predators could have taken the series to game 7 with the amount of power plays they received. (I'm not saying they were bad calls so don't even bother with that.) Also you're saying we have no chance against the Wings/Sharks? Well, stop hating.. The Canucks aren't number one in the league for no reason. Anyways, bye hater :)

[amalistelus]

@PhadeCN Seriously? The Preds couldn't score on at least 5 PP in the last game. Sorry. That's hardly giving the game to the Canucks. That was a gift to the Preds that they couldn't capitalize on. The better team won.

[llamatube]

Just wanna say, back when Kesler was doing great during the regular season, Tambellini was doing better, but everybody wouldn't stop talking about Kesler. Totally overshadowed Tamby. He has fantastic speed, effort, and a scoring touch.

[theblondebastard]

Looked faster than Raymond there. Great play.

[islesalldaynhl]

ive been a fan of tambellini ever since he was with the isles. great play here

[DizShaWTYcrUNK]

I've been waiting for a play like this all playoff long. I've been seeing way too many of us just watch or follow the guy with the puck but finally I see someone doing something about it! Thank you Tambellini!

[wwefan457]

funniest was a fail dive by a preds player wald i think thats his name hes black too

[VinForTheWin1]

@wwefan457 ur close, i believe his name's ward

[SH7861WeezyBabyy]

@wwefan457 wasnt it tootoo who was called for a dive?

[wwefan457]

@SH7861WeezyBabyy i meant that black guy on preds team failed dive he didnt get called

[jd22]

@Zoolander: You can hit a guy with the puck in hockey from the front or the side with your shoulder. However you cannot hit a guy in the back (in the numbers) Tambellini got mostly Erat's side here, hence it's legal.

[zoolanderhansel]

Hey guys. Dont know much about all the hockey rules. Can someone explain how this wasnt a penalty? Is it cuz tambie used his body instead of his stick to hit him?

[AtariMeanStreak]

@zoolanderhansel It was a fair body check, so no penalty.

[vaaniel]

@zoolanderhansel Yah Tambi hit erat on the side, shoulder to shoulder. So it's a legal hit. And there was no penalty shot because Erat didn't get a decent shot off. Erat kept the puck with him.

[hennen1234]

0:01 - Look at the the lead Erat has on Tambellini!

[rossmillsap]

I think Tambellini just earned every paycheck for the season with that one play.

[GoalieCreaseNet]

This saved the game!

[surfer53]

I'm still waiting for our 2pts-M.M. thing on our jersey. We did it for Mr. and Mrs. Griffiths, now let's do it for Manny. I wanna see that guy see again...and just as importantly, I want him to be the first Canuck to raise the Cup. Without his play in the regular season, this team wouldn't have won as many games, and wouldn't have the same belief in their own ability. He's with them in spirit.

[zachlikecoulter]

mr j tambs wanted to prove he's stanley cup play off worthy. there you go

[amalistelus]

Wow. How did he do that? I guess Erat never knew Tambo was coming up behind him. Amazing. BTW, the only jerseys that are allowed in the playoffs are regulation home and away. There is a $40K fine for wearing anything other than that. Money on the Canucks wearing vintage in the SC finals. They'll pay the fine.

[PhaEva84]

I knew Tamby would be something special in this game. Little firecracker! History will be made moment for sure! I bet he got a call from his Dad. Juice was hustling pretty good too eh. :)

[RE4713]

@Greeb17 tempted to like this comment but idk yet...reminds me of Grabner's speed, Tamby accelerates faster thats for sure but I think Raymond is faster overall

[ohotdeim]

me like the little aggressiveness haha gotta love canucks!

[neilhd100]

1 person dislikes coming off the bench.

More likely than not, it's Allen Iverson

[VancouverCanucksRock]

LMAO this is like an episode of Pinks. Erat :"yeah I want 15 stick lenghts",Tambellini, "No man no, I'll give you 12" Erat: "Ok ok, fine" Pinks Host: "Ok Erat, lose this race, and lose your PRIDE"

[Vansit84]

What an opportunity for an original take on these History will be made spots. Have they had a hometown kid make a play of that magnitude for their team since this campaign has started? i highly doubt it

"What if Jeff never came home?"

History will be made.

Stanley Cup Playoffs 2011

on the play itself.....limited minutes in his first ever playoff game. Talk about rising to the occasion.

That a boy, Tambi!

[JonFourteen]

What if Tambellini wasn't signed in 2010?

History will be made.

[LazarusDera]

Canucks wasted those Preds and holy crap can Tambellini skate!

"Once a Pred, ALWAYS a Pred!!!!!!"

[jEEborz]

I could watch this all day. So Kesler - like.

[4oureveryoung]

wow i knew he had wheels but that was just so fast.. i can't believe he even caught up to Erat when he was so far behind

[arian7777777]

what if samuellson wasnt injured ? History will be made. Stanley cup playoffs 2011

[00StangGT00]

lol @ preds fans thinking that should be a penalty shot, hopefully they learned what hockey is a little bit after this series

[SH7861WeezyBabyy]

if this happened in rogers arena it would have exploded! tambo you is rambo

[YellowRiceStudios]

I find it hilarious how the first ref just looks at Erat for like 3 seconds and doesn't bother to ask if he's okay or anything.

[longhornmed]

Looked like Erat was skating in slow motion.

[Jem93rocks]

TAMBO FOR CONN SMYTHE...or honorable mention. xD

[canucksftw7]

@lancerevolutionct9a no caffeine, no caffeine crash, and thats NO BULL

[robmundo]

THANK GOD THAT WASNT SAMUELSSON!

Tambellini in beast mode!!!

Possible play of the series?

[derekwong]

i was so glad this wasn't a penalty shot

[sexycooljulesverne]

yo kesler, im real happy for you and imma let you finish, but jeff tambellini had one of the best backchecks of all time! of all time!

[dangleman1]

@sexycooljulesverne ahaha kanye, ya big silly:p

[FrozennMannCP]

@sexycooljulesverne Exactly

[lancerevolutionct9a]

I'm starting to believe that these guys (Tambellini, Raymond, & Kesler) are drinking some Cheetah Power Surge.

[th3pwnsh0p]

@zZzFernandezZz Edler's strength + Keslers heart + Bure's speed + A little bit of Jannik Hansen.

[wkozaa123]

Erat is surprisingly slow with the puck

[KillaFreedom]

Erat moves like a pregnant woman.

[SmexyTrailerz]

I'm happy to see Tamby back

[musicgurl22]

woooo Tamby!!! I knew we should have give him another chance and look what he did for us. I think he deserve another game, what do you guys think... Oh yea don't know about AV he seems like he doesn't trust Tamby.

[Tavish64]

tambellini comes back and barries him

[dubz39]

holy shit its like he had a little kesler in him! such speed great tambellini. could very much have saved a goal and perhaps the series

[etsen3]

what hustle

[Justincmontero]

Wow , this guy was a last minute line up change . Game changer . GCG !

[stopdropandroll]

jeff bure #10

[ItsOFishAl]

Martin Erat disliked this video! Great job Tambellini!

[stupidazns]

What if Samuelson never got injured? History will be made.

[classy15]

Great backcheck in his first ever playoff game...you can tell he wants to play even if it's a few minutes. Once Samuelssons healthy I wouldn't mind seeing Tambellini Hodgson and Samuelsson on one line. 

[nguyent93]

TSN TURNING POINT! .. after this and in the 3rd.. the preds were deflated

[ShotForTheSky]

WHATTA BEAST.

[StreetDriftRacer]

THE SWEAT, BLOOD & TEARS OF CHICAGO AND NASHVILLE SHALL BE OUR FUEL TO WIN ROUND THREE!!! I just hope Detroit and San Jose battle it out so much that they wear themselves out!

GO NUCKS GO!!!! WESTERN CONFERENCE FINAL, HERE WE COME BABY!!!

[TemujinBC]

Just an epic epic epic backcheck.

[levimon]

what a freakin BEAST TAMBELLINI!

[Joxxy]

damn he's fast!

[s612h]

Defs took one for the team!

[quixote22]

AWESOME check!!



[thevancanfan]

I can see this being in a NHL History will be made commercial.

[Eternal1Truth]

On to the Western Conference Final!!!!!! I predict the Canucks win over the Sharks in 6.

[PBandJeIIy]

I've been waiting my entire life for this to happen, ROUND 3!! (seriously, I was born in late 1993, so......)

[hunkatiel]

It was worth having Tambi in the lineup for this one play alone.

[tna420wrestling]

San Jose, we commin fah you neggah

[gfsfg111]

2 down 2 to go

[dsrevo79]

lol at erat he looks like he doesnt have his skates on! look at the gap tamby races to! wtf

[StellaL4ever]

and GO CANUCKS GO!!

[StellaL4ever]

What happened to Samuelsson?

[XxiHeart]

@StellaL4ever Samuelsson got injured last game D:

[TheGreat747]

They Won!!

[XxiHeart]

FINALLY,!!! WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN THIS FAR SINCE 94 GO CANUCKS GO

[hyphenEXE]

Wooo Round 3 !

[TheRezolve]

Tambi!! Thats why you put him in the playoffs!! If that was Samuelson he would've just gave up!

[runescape99dung]

Lol the 1 dislike is Martin Erat

[Und3dD3mon]

Wooot! Carrie looked so sad, she can cry on my shoulder :D

[GuruEdward]

CANUCKS WON !!!!!!

TIME TO HEAD FOR THE CONFERENCE FINALS! IT'S BEEN 17 LONG YEARS BABY BUT WE'RE HERE!!!!!

[Euniceiscool]

we're undefeated with Tambellini in the lineup in the playoffs

[JonFourteen]

CANUCKS WIN CANUCKS WIN CANUCKS WIN

[SilverTarius]

I always did like Tambellini.

[H3R092]

ROUND THREEEEEEE!!! fuck yesssss!!

[AndyE8D]

CANUCKS WIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CDPuffer]

[CanucksFan127]

[ThaFuckk]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[BastienBlancho96]

Wow !

[kickit246]

I think he took the nitrous button from my car...

[iPlay007]

Next Canucks game I say they wear the 1994 jerseys!

[Kentalish]

@iPlay007 I wish that were true but they would have had to register the jerseys before the playoffs and the media woulda been all over it :S

[VIVIsectVI]

@iPlay007 Thats a good idea, except for the fact they didn't win the cup that year....

[iPlay007]

@VIVIsectVI so? i just suggested it cause its a crazy looking jersey and it'd look good to see a change once in a while.

[hwoarang92]

@iPlay007 That would be awesome!! :D

[CarnageMerc]

@iPlay007 I say we dont wear the 1994 jerseys

... because in 1994 we lost the cup finals, this year we're winning them.

[AlunsTrip]

@iPlay007

for sure..!! gonna put on my old pavel bure jersey !! from way way way back then

[Dangerx2]

@iPlay007 save it for game 1 of the Finals

[crabsq]

@iPlay007 Next Canucks game I say they play like the 1994 Canucks.

[trexgoesmoo]

[thepspman116]
