All I can say is…it couldn’t have happened to a better person than Melrose. The only bad thing is now the moron will probably be back on my TV screen spouting idiotic drivel. (Can you tell I don’t like Barry too much?)

Does anyone think this ship can be righted this season? There’s some talent on that team, that’s for sure.

Dan Boyle is thrilled out of his mind right now. Instead of playing on a crappy team with unstable ownership, he’s on arguably the best team in the league

When does Stamkos go on the block? I mean, only 4 points in 16 games? That type of production should get you traded for 50 cents on the dollar with the current ownership

It’s a classic knee jerk reaction of a brand new clueless ownership.

I give the Lightning until the summer (I’m being generous) before they start finding Tocchet’s replacement.

Dan Boyle must be laughing himself silly right now, and I wonder if Lecavalier regrets not testing the free agent waters.

Now, being serious, I’m not happy about this at all. The hiring was bad to begin with, and pretty much anyone is a candidate to be traded. I was excited when the new ownership came in… not so much

I’m considering turning my attention full-time to Dallas and Edmonton now. This ownership is never going to give the Bolts a chance to win. They’re horrible

Ok, ok, I’ll make a serious post in a minute, but I fully expected Melrose to fail as Bolts coach, and he did

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

thanks stephen, good to hear the other vinnys not being traed with with no trade clause and all right? and im pretty sure no one in the league would trade for vrbata right now

My bet is Vrbata is already gone. To New York. While at Olive Garden today Vinny Prospal was on the phone with someone talking about the Rangers. Since he was in a good mood it was safe to surmise wasn’t him, St. Louis or the other Vinny moving. Probably Vrbata and probably for a draft pick/minor league player or both. If I’m right, you heard it here first.

Unfortunately the commissioner has an ‘Anyone but Balsille’ attitude so instead of getting a good quality owner you get stuck with only people who will suck up to Bettman.

I don’t think this came as a surprise. Koules and Barrie were bad for the league since day one and they’ll continue drive the Lightning into the ground.
