Your only reason to watch ESPN’s hockey coverage just left

Barry Melrose, who happens to be one of my favorite ESPN analysts, is leaving ESPN for sunnier pastors in Florida. Now those guys he is pictured with above will be his rivals.
The Tampa Bay Lightning announced him as their new head coach today and the worldwide leader in sports won’t be the same. Now we will have to be subjected to the hockey analysis of Steve Levy, John Buccigross, or maybe even this guy. Someone help us please!
The highlight of Barry’s NHL coaching career was in 1993 when he led the Los Angeles Kings to the Stanley Cup finals. There was some guy on that squad named Wayne Gretzky who may have helped just little bit though.
