Melrose to coach Tampa?

[Bighabfan]

somebody should go and interview Torts RIGHT NOW - wouldn\'t it be great to hear his opinion on Tampa seeking to replace him without first firing him! Too bad they could never play it on network TV - it would be one long BLEEEP.

What a classless move by the new owner(s). Even if the guy\'s a dink, you don\'t go shopping for a replacement without first infroming the current coach

I agree with you Bighabfan. Although I was reading in The Hockey News that Tortorella told Feaster that it might be time for him to step down as the coach.

It\'s kind of like going out on a date with another woman, knowing you and your wife are going to split, but you just haven\'t told your wife yet.:P

Watch for Tortorella to end up in Ottawa. He\'s just what the doctor ordered for those guys. Giddyup!

Because he would probably murder some nosy reporter. The guy blows a gasket after every loss in TB. He would be eaten alive by some of the slime-ball media members up north.

He is a good coach though, I agree with that.

I just had a vision of Ottawa Sun\'s Don Brennan asking Torts a goofy question after a particularly ugly loss. I would pay to see that on Pay-Per-View.:woohoo:

I have a novel idea. It involves a few steps.

1) Melrose must slick his hair back each and every game
2) Use a modified Flying V
3) Win.

Melrose said he thinks he can convert Stamkos into his new #1 goaltender.
