have driven the cost of buying metal in the physical market significantly higher. Consumers say that Goldman's warehousing firm, Metro International Trade Services, is removing the minimum amount of aluminum -- 1,500 metric tons a day -- from its facilities in Detroit, and that it could remove a lot more, erasing supply bottlenecks and lowering delivery premiums in the process. "It takes two weeks to put aluminum in, and six months to get it out," said Dave Smith, strategic procurement manager at Coca-Cola. "The situation has been organized artificially to drive premiums up," he added. Around a quarter of the aluminum held in the LME's warehousing system is stored in Detroit -- 1.15 million tons, out of a total 4.62 million tons. Warehouses owned by Metro store over 900,000 tons of this. It would take 600 days, or 120 working weeks, to deliver out 900,000 tons. The LME said it is giving "further consideration" to any changes it might make to delivery rates at locations where one company has over 900,000 tons in its warehouses. Goldman declined to comment. The U.S. bank bought Metro last year amid a spate of similar acquisitions by banks and merchants which intensified concerns over the independence of storage facilities. Glencore International PLC (GLEN.LN) bought the metals warehousing operations of Italian family-owned Pacorini Group, Swiss merchant Trafigura Beheer BV acquired U.K.-based warehouse company NEMS and J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (JPM) bought warehouse operator Henry Bath as part of its purchase of some of the commodities assets of RBS Sempra. But the U.K.'s Office Of Fair Trading dismissed concerns that ownership of warehouses gives certain market players an unfair advantage, saying Tuesday that there were no "obvious competition issues that would merit further investigation at this stage." It isn't just consumers that are frustrated at the situation in Detroit. An even larger portion of those Tambellini said, recalling his memories of watching the Rangers beat Vancouver in Game 7 of the '94 Final. "It was hard to watch. I remember pulling my hair out. Hopefully we turn that around tonight." Tambellini has fond memories of his days as the little guy around the Canucks. He was a favorite among players like Cliff Ronning, Trevor Linden and Gino Odjick. "I was just a big fan," Tambellini said. "I always wanted to be around the room. I loved being next to the guys, feeling the atmosphere and trying to get as close as I could. It's something I was very fortunate to grow up in." He used to skate on the ice at Pacific Coliseum and then Rogers Arena after practices. "Dad would go work, practice would be over and I would just go twirl around out there," he said. "I remember Gino Odjick coming out there one morning and I couldn't believe how hard he shot the puck." Ironically, Tambellini said he never would pretend he was in Game 7 of the Cup Final.  He is now, though, and it's a strange yet "outstanding" feeling. "I always just enjoyed finding a way to be in the big games. I've always enjoyed the big games," said Tambellini, whose previous big-game experience includes the gold-medal game at the 2003 World Junior Championship. "They're what you live for, what you look back on. In your career you find four or five games that were really big games and this is going to be one of them. You have to find a way to make sure you're on the winning edge of it." And if he is, Tambellini has
