YoungGuns1340 1 Report post Posted December 4, 2008 Kudos. I don't think I'd have the balls to show my face on national TV so quickly after failing at my job. Especially one I was so hyped for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WingNutt 12 Report post Posted December 4, 2008 Melrose, taking the job I'm not surprised, here is the million dollar question. Why would ESPN hire a person to provide "expert" analysis from a guy who got fired in the middle of the barely into season from a coaching guy from Tampa Bay of all teams. ESPN is a joke I swear. I'd rather keep NHL on VS we already have are mullet expert, our buddy Engblom, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
esteef 2,679 Report post Posted December 4, 2008 Melrose being fired 16 games into the season is the only thing that's a joke. Hopefully he'll just take every opportunity to rip the Lightning on tv now instead of the Wings. Cheers to Barry! esteef Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SouthernWingsFan 854 Report post Posted December 5, 2008 Good for him to get back to employment so soon, and it takes guts to go back to a sports national broadcasting job after his coaching experiment blew up in his face. I'll be interested to ee or hear anything about if other analysts or co-workers will think anything less of him because of the bad coaching job, even though we'll probably never hear any potentially stuff like that live and on air.

haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted December 5, 2008 Kudos. I don't think I'd have the balls to show my face on national TV so quickly after failing at my job. Especially one I was so hyped for. Tampa Bay was dead last in the league last season pre-Melrose, and they gave him 16 games before getting rid of him. He got fired. He didn't even get the chance to fail at anything.

I don't think he had a chance to do a bad job, Bolts never gave him a chance. I don't think he has anything to be ashamed of, since he did have success on a coaching level before...

wingslionstigers 12 Report post Posted December 5, 2008 He got fired because Tampa Bay did nothing but promote Stamkos all summer long and Melrose refused to give him the ice time the owner and general manager wanted. Melrose said hes not getting ice time until he earns it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StormJH1 231 Report post Posted December 5, 2008 I am glad he is back, I like the guy. Who knows maybe this is a closer step to NHL on ESPN? That's an awesome (and sad) avatar picture. I'm a diehard Wings fan transplanted to Minnesota, but had I grown up in Minnesota, that totally would've been me refusing to leave the last game while everyone else left.
