As I am sure all of you are probably getting sick of hearing about the current situation with the Tampa Bay Lightning and former coach Barry Melrose's dispute, there is now another situation brewing.

TSN has reported that the Lightning are "investigating legal grounds for withholding the remainder of Barry Melrose's contract with the team."

This came about because of Melrose's comments about rookie Steven Stamkos which he reported during an interview on a Toronto morning radio show.

Freedom of speech anyone?
