Things are starting to get hilarious when the topic of the Tampa Bay Lightning comes up. Unless, of course, you’re a fan of the Lightning, in which case, it’s probably not a laughing matter at all. But for the rest of us, man, it just keeps getting better.

After cornering the market on free agents this summer — and dumping them two months into the season — the Lightning find themselves in the basement of the NHL, having won just twice in their past 17 games.

They’ve already fired head coach Barry Melrose — who lasted just 16 games — and have won only once since naming Rick Tocchet as his replacement. And you know who finds all of this funny, and is taking great delight in it? Melrose himself.
