What, are we going to hire Roland Melanson to be the play-by-play guy next?

The guy got his job between the pipes last year because he is GREAT friends with Garth Snow. He can't do that anymore though so once again his knight in shining armour has found him work.

Well, based on the play toward the end of his career, he can coach guys by telling them to do the opposite of whatever he did in net.

Dipietro could probaby teach HIM a thing or two!

That's funny, I fail to see how any of that is actually relevant. Goaltending coaches are used to helping with a knowledge of technique, not their natural leadership skills. I like Dunham, he just isn't good anymore. Some players burn out a lot faster than others.
