Scott Mellanby Is Back

I don't get too excited about coaching hires, but this one I like.
ST. LOUIS – St. Louis Blues President John Davidson announced Tuesday that former Blue Scott Mellanby has re-joined the organization as Assistant Coach to Davis Payne’s staff. He is currently a Pro Scout with Vancouver and will serve that role until July 15th.

“I’m excited to add a quality person like Scott to our staff, who was highly respected as a player on and off the ice,” said Head Coach Davis Payne. “He has great knowledge of the game and will be a valuable addition to our staff.”

“In my current role with Vancouver I have scouted many Blues games and feel this team, with this talent, is headed in the right direction,” said Mellanby. “St. Louis is my home and my family and I are thrilled to be back in the Blues organization.”

Mellanby, 43, played in 1,431 National Hockey League games including 235 games for the Blues from 2001-04. He also played for Philadelphia, Edmonton, Florida and Atlanta.

I'm so envious of the guy who got to put :cup: first.


Seriously, this is likely the best acquisition of the summer! Better than Panger last year? Hmmm.. YES!

I've never seen the guy smile before, and he'll have an interesting relationship with TJ Oshie.

If Mellanby was the consonant battler, then I guess that left Tkachuk to battle the vowels...no wonder that line was so good.

They let Wamsley go a few weeks back (even though he was Peoria's head coach). Shaw and Bennett are still with the team.

It's sure a step in that direction.

And the next time Bergie stays out drinking too lake or Oshie does an interview 'under the influences' and replies "unfortunately" when it's pointed out that he's with the St. Louis Blues.......Mel will be waiting for them when they get to their lockers.

I Like it. Melanby is making his home in the STL area anyway, isn't he?

Smart move.

Yup...like many former Blues players, Mellanby lives in the St. Louis area.
