Lightning Gamble on Rick Tocchet

Got an image you'd like to see in here first thing in the morning? Send it to tips@deadspin.com. Subject: Morning crap While Barry Melrose waited over a decade to take another head coaching job in the NHL, the Tampa Bay Lightning waited only 16 games to fire him. Rick Tocchet will step in as head coach. Not surprisngly, the kids at Barry Melrose Rocks are rather upset.

This may be the end, folks. The world has started spinning 10 times faster than normal and the animals are all migrating west. Something is wrong on Planet Earth. We're not sure exactly what is going on, as we're the stupid humans who are so disconnected with nature the only inevitable outcome has always been our complete and total demise.
