I don't like him. He annoys me. And, he is one of the WORST dressers I've ever seen! He had some suit on the other night that was hideous!

Tell me about it!!!! I really don't think ESPN is going to show an all-Canadian playoff game. So far I've seen at least one game from all the different playoff series, but I have yet to see a Leafs vs. Senators game. :( I'm mad as hell!!!:mad:

I dont think one sens leafs game has been on in america

[realmendontwearteal]

and they usally play good hockey

[Ð]

Last 4 games for the Sens, they've been shut out 3 times by Belfour.

The Leafs own the Sens on the road (in Ottawa) in the playoffs.

[realmendontwearteal]

that is true

[pyrrhonist]

I can't believe anyone is surprised by ESPN/ABC/Disney's piss-poor coverage of hockey. There is no counting on these morons for hockey coverage.

Centre Ice is the only way to go. :up:

[Demon]

Everyone who works for ESPN sucks at hockey. I don't like Buggi but he's alright, Melrose is an idiot and i can't stand his stupid laugh, EJ Hrdek (spelling) is a good writer, i enjoy his columns on espn.com or in the magazine, but on tv he looks like a total goof and talks like one and Ray Ferrero is a complete idiot.

I don't understand why doesn't ESPN hire guys like Bryan Trottier and Pat LaFontaine for their hockey coverage?

[realmendontwearteal]

it was nice to see the tsn feed on in america for a little bit during the preds wings game last night

Yeah. But the annoucers for the Montreal/Boston game were solid anyways so i can't really complain.

[alyson]

I like Barry Melrose! Love the pseudo-mullet and I think he's funny.
At least ESPN is showing some damn playoff games. Stop complaining! For those of us that cannot afford Center Ice and don't live in Canada, we're lucky we can see any games.

[Myers57]

I dont mind Barry, he is a lot smarter than some of them dumb-wit broadcasters?

Dwayne Rolosen doing color commentary? ESPN is desperate...

I just spoke to the director of communications at the college I am planning on attending and he said it is possible for me to do an internship with ESPN while attending the university, have to show off my hockey knowledge...

:D

This is a fairly accurate description of Melrose:
