Barry Melrose, head coach of the Tampa Bay Lightning, has been fired.
16 games.
They gave him 16 games and fired him. Fired him and replaced him with Tocchet.
It's not that I didn't see Mr. Melrose's pink slip as inevitable, (esp. with the current Lightning owenership), I just didn't think they'd fire him after 16 games. Though, considering the Lightning have been trading players like candy, I guess I shouldn't be that surprised.
But how do you not give a guy a real chance to get things going?
Good luck Lightning, I think you're going to need it.
