Barry Melrose, longtime NHL player, coach and ESPN icon, dies at 70 after battle with Parkinson's
I remember Barry Melrose mostly from his ESPN days. He always had a very recognizable style and seemed to bring a lot of personality to the broadcasts. 70 is way too young. Parkinson's is a terrible disease. RIP Barry.
