Lightning Set To Hire Barry Melrose

Rate this topic

so does this mean he wont be on ESPN after this season/ we dont have to hear him "analyze" hockey?

I actually look forward to the 1 minute a day Melrose discusses hockey on ESPN. Barry belongs in the booth and/or as an analyst as far as I'm concerned - not behind the bench.

I don't know if it was Barry just trying to push things off until the playoffs are over, but today on ESPN he blatantly said that nothing is going on as of right now. Since Tampa Bay is out of the playoffs they are allowed to hire a coach if they choose to do so. Here is the link to the ESPN article in which Barry dispels the rumor.

Take it for what it's worth, but I don't see why Barry would deny the rumors, it isn't as if Tampa is playing in the Finals right now. Makes zero sense to me that he would try to hide it. Also, I find it odd that he claims to have high interest in coaching in the NHL again, and every year since he joined ESPN teams call him, yet he chooses ESPN over coaching. Doesn't fit.

whats really sad is we are still going to have to hear his commentary. Tampa Bay is going to be non-contenders every year and we will still have to listen to him pick everyone but the Wings, they jump on the bandwagon when they make it to the SC.
