Insulting the mullet is tantamount to treason at ESPN, I'm told by a friend who works there.
Melrose is popular because ESPN specifically chose him to be the hockey guy, knowing he is a complete idiot and would do a terrible job representing the sport. It is further evidence of how ESPN actively tries to make hockey look bad. People watch him and think "This is the hockey guy? The go to guy for league info? This league must be a total joke."

If that's the case then why does the NHL Network employ him?
He's sort of the US version of Don Cherry, or at least he fancies himself as such when he goes off the reservation.
After Pattys and Sals comments today, it seems pretty clear who will be captain

I'd say that pic was taken in St. Petersburg.
Id like to see this
and shopped Kovy + Ilya Kovalchuk there
YES! YES!......IN THE FACE!
i ny ....*puke*
with kovy back i wanted to look back at the trade.........
from the "where are they now?" files:
thrashers/jets:
Patrice Cormier - st johns (winnipeg) ....this season 10 GP.... 1 G, 0 A
Johnny Oduya - chicago, trade for 2013 second round pick (?-?), 2013 third round pick (?-?)
Niclas Bergfors - packaged with Patrick Rissmiller in trade to get Radek Dvorak (still on jets) and 2011 fifth round pick (#132-Sean Kuraly) ...begfors is now in KHL
the 2 picks the devils sent were packaged with Marty Reasoner, Joey Crabb, Jeremy Morin to get Dustin Byfuglien (still on jets), Ben Eager, Brent Sopel, Akim Aliu
Sopel was used to get Ben Maxwell (who they waived this week) and 2011 fourth round pick (#107-Olivier Archambault)
Eager was used to get 2011 fifth round pick (#148-Austen Brassard)
Akiu was used to get John Negrin who the team declined to tender qualifying offer, making player an unrestricted free agent.... signed with AHL chicago wolves.
alot of movement parlayed into cormier, picks, dvorak and buff
-----------
devils: loss of 1st and 3rd pick
Ilya Kovalchuk
Anssi Salmela - let go to KHL
2010 second round pick (#38-Jonathon Merrill) <--- oh ya!
"I'm sure the fans are real pissed off, but they'll come back"
Hope it's jet lag because he did not see too excited to be back to be honest.

Readinf too much into it. Zajac just got a 46 mil contract and he doesn't seem excited in his interview.
