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.

Barry Melrose on Tampa Bay: ‘I Hope Tampa Bay Doesn’t Win a Game the Rest of the Year’ originally appeared on NHL FanHouse on Tue, 09 Dec 2008 11:50:00 EST . Please see our terms for use of feeds.
