Melrose Coaching In The Early 90’s

from Stu Hackel of Slap Shot at the NYT,
Listening to Bob McKenzie this morning on Team 990 radio in “Montreal’s Morning Show,” it seems Coach Melrose could be a bit out of touch with the way the game is played today and he’s on the verge of losing his players.
We’ve heard the same thing from another well-connected source, who says Barry still thinks he’s coaching the 1993 Kings.
McKenzie recommended that Melrose rely more on his excellent coaching staff — Rick Tocchet, Wes Walz and Cap Raeder — who have not spent that last 12 years on TV but working in the N.H.L. and have more of a grasp about how the game is currently played.

Absolute crap..
Hackel joins the long list of rocket scientists who think
Melrose (or anyone) has learned nothing in 12 years.

“Loosing players” implies that he once *had* his players. These are guys are around my age, give or take two or three years. They probably remember Melrose as a Cup finalist with Wayne Gretzky, Jari Kurri, Luc Robatille, Rob Blake and others on his team. They *definitely* know his idiocy on ESPN for all these years, however. If you know hockey, especially as the game has evolved over the past decade, you know that Melrose doesn’t have an F-In clue.
