This is the John Tortorella that I will remember. It would appear that the Tampa Bay Lightning seem to be paving the way for Barry Melrose to the be coach of the Tampa Bay lighting as John Tortorella relieved of his duties as the coach of the Lighting yesterday.
Lightning fire coach
TAMPA, FLA.-- John Tortorella was fired yesterday as coach of the Tampa Bay Lightning, four years after leading the team to its only Stanley Cup title. He had one season remaining on his contract. The Lightning were 239-222-36-38 and made the playoffs four times in 6 1/2 seasons under Tortorella, who took over a perennial last-place team in January 2001 and -- along with stars Vinny Lecavalier, Martin St. Louis and Brad Richards -- helped transform it into a championship contender in three years.
