All I remember about that guy is that he wore some pretty aggressive plaid blazers

Fricking legend. Not a hockey guy at all but always loved listening to him break down the game on ESPN.

Then you actually remember nothing about him. It was Don Cherry who wore the loud blazers.

Melrose was the lone torch bearer for hockey on ESPN for a long time. RIP

Damn

Him getting drunk during an alternate broadcast of football where they had drinks was hilarious

Legend

Made me like hockey in the 90s

I was living in Cali at that time and became a hockey fan watching Gretzky

Love Barry

I got into hockey in the 90s and he was there as the commentary guy for ESPN

He was greatly missed after retiring and now even more so

SVP about to have a segment on Barry, if you are watching ESPN now. Should be good.

RIP Barry you should have won the Stanley Cup in 93'. If McSorley wasn't using an illegal stick you would have brought the Kings their 1st championship.
