Melrose Fired

The Lightning and the Panthers should be moved to Canada.

Someone on that other site made a good point. Are the Lightening paying Melrose and Torts to not coach this team? Also I believe that Feaster is drawing salary.

Finally someone comes around who takes some of the heat of us for the moment. Diddle jokers.

Too bad. Now he'll be trying to get back on my TV screen.

I suspect he'll lay low for a bit... eating his crow... After 10 years of telling people they were doing it wrong... he didn't last 20 games.

*ahem* I want my kudos boys!
Just kidding, but in all seriousness, I did predict, back when Melrose was first hired, that he wouldn't be there by Christmas!

He's a Tony Robbins spouting fool. And I have to agree with Heater, this should keep the pundits busy for a while anyway and away from the Sens... At least until tomorrow night. LOL

Fixed.

F'ing gong show in Tampa right now.

How can anyone blame Melrose in all of this???

Look at the squad he inherited thanks to the million and a half moves they've made so far. I don't think I've ever seen that much roster movement in that few a space of time in my whole life. They like literally flipped over the whole team in the span of 6 months. Think about it, the only players left from last year's squad are: Lecavalier, St. Louis, Prospal, Ranger, Gratton, and Lundin.

That's literally it. How is a team supposed to gel in this short a time when they still continue to make trades and now have 16 new faces in the lineup since last year?

I really feel sorry for the guy. This is just simply inappropriate behavior on behalf of these owners. Its one thing to inherit a championship calibre squad where the guys have been playing together for 3-5 years. But to get a bunch of guys who've never played before, and give them less than 3 months to gel and start winning games is absolutely ridiculous.
