House11 Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 This rocks ! TSN On a side note ... the main reason this rocks is my Japanese roommate will now have to re-grow his Mullet. He used to rock it when Melrose was with the Kings and said he would never grow it again unless Melrose returned to coaching. I used to bug him about it all the time for years ... now it seems my day has come ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 This report has been out on the nets for months. It's definitely an odd move considering this guy hasn't coached in over 10 years. I'd rather take my chances with Cunneyworth before Melrose ;S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House11 Posted May 30, 2008 Author Share Posted May 30, 2008 True but it's not like he's been away from hockey the whole time ...but it's a risky idea for TB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 It's a huge risk considering this guy hasn't coached since the lock out more importantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsniper Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I think we should force Cali to emulate the NHL in this instance. Don't forget Tampa is an organization that had Steve Ludzik as a head coach. I watch him on The Score and he never really seems interested in anything other then fighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House11 Posted May 30, 2008 Author Share Posted May 30, 2008 maybe it will benifit the Habs .... maybe TB will suck so bad that vinny leaves and signs with the HABS and the bolt completely rebuild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 If that's the case, MELROSE TO TAMPA!!!!!1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athlétique.Canadien Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 The Mullet? Nice one CaliHabsFan. Someone please explain how Melrose is an improvement over Tortorella. Tortorella has won the cup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Stealth Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Good god. I feel for Bolts fans. That's ALL I'm going to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tortorella has won the cup! HAHA yeah when he was in LA it was a "high class mullet" cause he used gel ... hopefully he goes Feathery and Lethal in TB oh and to answer that question AC ... it's not that he's an improvement ... it's a publicity stunt ... one of the new owners coming in is a producer from LA so maybe he's feeling a little nestalgic haha I just thought of something else ... maybe John Bucigross and EJ Hradek will be his assistant coaches Edited May 30, 2008 by CaliHabsFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

House11 Posted June 24, 2008 Author Share Posted June 24, 2008 (edited) Go Barry Go ! I think his decision of Rick Tocchet and Wez Walz as assistants are kind iffy ... Tocchet yes but I would think he'd want someone with a little more expirence than Walz since it's been a while since Barry's coached in the NHL Edited June 24, 2008 by CaliHabsFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

House11 Posted June 24, 2008 Author Share Posted June 24, 2008 I wouldn't want to touch Tocchet with a ten foot poll. Well as long as he stays away from betting on things I don't see why he still couldn't be a good coach. He deserves at least a 2nd chance. If he does it again then I'm sure he'll be banned from coaching in the NHL again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habs rule Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere but doesn't tochett just buggering off on gretz seem kinda cheap? wayne defended him the whole time that shite was going on and now he just bolts.

jetsniper Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I remember Tocchet doing a crap job with the Avs during the 03-04 season. People wanted him fired just as much as Granato so I don't see how combining him with a guy that hasn't coached in years will work out. At least Barry can stop jinxing teams during the playoffs.
