Re: The NHL Thread
 

Great start. We’ve been living in Vancouver’s zone all game so far.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

This is going quite well so far. We look a lot better than them. Just one game though.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I cannot wait for the day the Lightning finally fire Cooper.

We played well outside of the 1st period, but holy shit would a better coach do us wonders.

Hopeful for Game 2.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Isles and whomever should be a fire series.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Just getting caught up on the Millbury stuff, wow that's pathetic he lost his job over that, what a joke

Re: The NHL Thread
 

That by its self one thing, but I think he was asked to step away based on his constant tactless comments and boneheaded views on hockey. Here is a good analysis of it from the Hockey Guy on YouTube:

Millbury is a bonehead

I’d take him over Jack Edwards tho

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Professional athletes and men in general tend to get distracted by women, this isn't even controversial nevermind worth losing a job over. It's just more of the wussification of America.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Islanders out playing the Flyers by a wide margin

Re: The NHL Thread
 

He climbed into the stands back in the day and fought with Rangers fans. Fuck that guy!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Wow Islanders.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

He hit him with a shoe after the fan attacked stan Jonathan. That millbury is legit, commentator Millbury is a doorknob

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Flyers played well in the 2nd period and that’s all. They need to figure out their offense problems.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Avs looking much sharper so far tonight (about 15 minutes into P1)

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Four unanswered Stars goals. Pfft. So much for ^ post.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

There are those in this thread that disagree strongly with you. Also, again, I don't know why I have to repeat myself, but it was not just about that one comment. It is a decade + of Milbury crossing the line or being boneheaded with his views on hockey. He is from a different era and doesn't bring any useful insight to hockey anymore. It was time for NBC to cut ties with him.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

You don't go into the stands and you especially shouldn't hit a fan.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Avs may be boned.

Just gonna put it out there...hockey players are the best athletes.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Fuck Mike Milbury.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

He didnt. He was in the locker room and came back out after his teammates got attacked and smacked the guy with his shoe.

He got less of a suspension then the other two guys

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Couldn't care less if people disagree with me about Mike Milbury saying something accurate and losing his job over it being wrong, he'd obviously still have the job if he didn't say an entirely bland comment so everything about hockey is beside the point. It points to a bigger problem of sports commentators not being able to say anything on the edge. It effects the sports I do love, golf coverage now is terrible, the Red Sox broadcast used to be amazing with Remy and Orsillo saying things the current cast never could now if the team was worth watching in the first place, etc.

You like to point to the hardcore hockey talk side of Milbury, many people I've listened to comment on it who are passionate about hockey say he was one of the very few remaining hockey commentators who will say anything even slightly negative.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Add me to the list of folks who thinks Milbury should go

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Add me to the list of ToySoldier#34 takes are just as bad as Milbury’s. Send him out of the bubble as well.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I knew if they didn't pot one soon that the defense/Hart was gonna get overwhelmed in the third. That second goal was basically a backbreaker.

They need to not scratch JvR. I know he's not scoring, but he's way more dynamic a player than some of the guys out there. Put him on a scoring line and see what happens!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

No women in the nhl thread to distract him

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I mean we only have one woman in this thread and we are more likely to snag Olivia Wilde than to snag legs

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Doubling down on mysogynistic comments is such a cool thing to do. So edgy! I'm glad you look up to Milbury. Such a hero to have.
