Barry Melrose to be Named Tampa Bay Head Coach
June 23rd, 2008 | Posted by Wicked in Tampa Bay LightningBarry Melrose will be officially named the head coach of the Tampa Bay Lightning in a news conference tomorrow afternoon. Barry Melrose hasn’t coached since the lockout season in 94-95 when he coached for the LA Kings. Melrose has been an analyst for ESPN over the last number of years and must be happy that he is inheriting a team with so much upside.
Even though the Lightning finished dead last in the 07-08 season, the team still has a number of talented players, including Vincent Lecavalier, Martin St. Louis, and 1st overall draft pick Steven Stamkos.
