lafountain Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 John Tortorella was fired by the Tampa Bay Lightning. http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/news/story?id=3424571 Most of the speculation points to Barry Melrose despite what he has been saying. How do you Lightning fans feel about this move? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoomZoom18 Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Barry Melrose? I'm kinda surprised its taken him this long to get a look again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SabreFaninNYC Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Taking Rick Tocchet with him from the Coyotes...OUCH!!! The Mullet is back and is collecting the old school around him. Don't know if it will help much given the question marks in goal but the Lightning are definitely more interesting this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoomZoom18 Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 It might be best that Tocchet did leave. I'm definitely interested in seeing how the Lightning do with him as a coach. Its hard to believe its been over ten years since he coached last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lafountain Posted June 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Melrose also brought in Wes Walz as an assistant. Gotta wonder if he is gonna try to turn the Lightning into a defensive team at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoomZoom18 Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 The Lightning have been an interesting team to watch this offseason. Looks like they are going hard at another Cup win. Are the rumors I've heard about Boyle being shopped true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
