Unknown Fratstar

As I have already covered Jesse Palmer, I'll move to his hockey counterpart Barry Melrose. Barry Melrose is probably a way cooler person than Palmer, but is pedigree and his resume to be ESPN's go to hockey guy is probably equally as weak. Melrose played for like five seasons in the NHL, and then coached the kings for 3 years before being fired, and he was fired while Gretzky was still on the team. He then coached the lightning and was fired in mid-season in 2008. It is literally the epitome of mediocre as a professional career both on the ice and on the bench. But somehow due to enthusiam, American hockey ignorance, and the oxymoronic fratty mullet, Melrose has staked his claim as the face of hockey commentators in America,(he doesn't challenge Don Cherry). And for you readers who know who Don Cherry is, good for you. I love how ESPN shows his resume when he is talking, it is literally pathetic. There are hundreds of more qualified announcing, I personally would like to see Mike Richter or Scott Stevens get in there. But cheers Barry Melrose, you pulled it off through connections and good hair, and that is inherently fratty.

Scott Stevens is literally the man
