OK, I admit I chuckled a little bit when this first was mentioned, but I'm kind of liking the idea of Barry Melrose in Tampa Bay. Think of it: a team that's looking for a way back to their glory days, one that's got plenty of offensive firepower, anyway, and a goaltender we Stars folk all know and love in Mike Smith. Enter Mr. Melrose, hockey guru, former ESPN commentator and, if I remember correctly, a pretty nice guy.
If I'm a fan in the Tampa Bay area, and I've been gone a while because of the bad times, I'm heading back to the arena to see what he can do immediately.
