Fired!

Barry, we hardly knew ye. The most famous mullet is sports is sans job as of this afternoon. Barry Melrose has been fired from his head coaching duties with the drastically under-achieving Tampa Bay Lightning. It was a joke of a hiring from the start, Steve and I both agreed on that (I think). Rick "The Gambler" Tocchet takes over the Lightning squad for the time being. Tampa is a woeful 5-7-4 to start the season, one that began with a lot of promise and new faces, most notably that of first overall draft pick Steven Stamkos. Melrose was criticized for the lack of playing time he gave the star rookie.
