Having lamented the imminent demise of ‘Starstuff’ in my astronomy blog it now seems that ‘The Melrose Line’ will have disappeared from podland with Barry Melrose going to the Tampa Bay Lightning as coach. I don’t doubt that this is a good move for Melrose as there is a reasonable level of talent there to work with, Lecavalier, St Louis, Boyle, Prospal et al and he must have felt something of an irrelevance at ESPN given their level of coverage of the NHL. However from a personal point of view there are vanishingly few quality podcasts available on ice hockey and the loss of even one is a great disappointment. At least the watchability of post-game interviews should increase significantly with Melrose’s return to the coaching ranks.
