[purecarnagge]

Is this guy a bad hockey coach...

he seems to have his shit together by me... but I don't know...I'm not all that knowledgeable about hockey.

Back in the day it was #99 that made Melrose a so called decent coach.

I don't know if he is bad. But there is a huge difference between knowing hockey, and coaching it. The game is much different than when he coached. Everything is about having a solid system, and playing within that system. He let his players have too much freedom, which was fine back in the early 1990's, but not anymore.

He was good in his prime but now honestly he has no idea at all how to coach. He's clearly still living in the 80's with that mullet

Good news. The guys they have on espnnews now talking hockey are boring and not very informative. Melrose really gets into it

[LT Profits]

He is a much better analyst than he is a coach.

He coached the Lightning at the start of the season. Fired after like 15 games.
