| Tortorella out in Tampa |
NHL Hockey |
06/03/2008 |
| |
| Last week it was reported that Tortorella was on his way out and former Los Angeles Kings coach Barry Melrose was the top candidate for the vacancy. Melrose, who is currently a featured NHL analyst for ESPN, has not coached a team since he left the Kings in the 1994-95 season. In the 1992-93 season, he helped guide the Kings to their first and only Stanley Cup Finals appearance, which the team lost in five games to the Montreal Canadiens. However, Los Angeles failed to make the playoffs in the next two seasons. |

Detroit's Chris Chelios, who has played in an NHL-record 260 playoff games dating to 1984 with the Montreal Canadiens, stands out for the clean look on his cheeks and chin. Chelios said he never has grown a beard in the playoffs. ``It wasn't a tradition in Montreal when I started, and I never liked beards and mustaches,'' Chelios said. ``I always play clean-sha |
