He likes Milbury....for whatever reason I don't know.

Philco...here is a great story for you that I think you will appreciate...


My 8 year old son knocked a kid down during his game on Saturday.....he wasn't penalized or anything but I kept thinking during the game..."why did he do that"

An hour later we're in the car and he says.."Daddy did you see me knock that kid down???" I answered yes and ask what had happened???

He said...."Daddy he hit Braden(his friend and teammate) in the neck with his stick so I knocked him down to send a message......our team doesn't let that happen to each other" I responded "Oh.....where did you hear that".....his reply "Mike Milbury says it on TV all the time.....you gotta protect your teammates"

My son has some red ass.......

Love it Source...THANKS for the share

I was thinking the same thing.

When I'm teaching him stuff about the game I have to preface everything by saying...Mike Milbury said.....otherwise he doesn't believe me......it drives me nuts!

This is a joke coming from you right?
- molly2522

No, it wasn't meant as a joke. It's also why I threw in the "I'm no saint" part.

Given, I've done my fair share of the personal attack crap, but I'm also doing my best to steer clear of it going forward, just as Al has asked everyone too do.

Violently rip the kid's shoes off and hit him over the head with them and tell him that's what Mike Milbury did to a fan in the stands in New York one night. That might cure him of Milburyitis.

Saad will have little leverage......And the money will be here for Kane and Toews or others won't be here.
- Al

If they can talk him in to it they should sign Saad to a longer extension worth more. Sure he'd probably sign a 2 year 2.5 bridge deal or something, but I'd try like 6 years at 4.5 per, the last three years of that deal would be steal

Milburyitis - a new mental disorder has been created.

This is gold! You can't make stuff up like this!

I think he will eventually be Sharps replacement on the top six......Would be smart to sign to a longer term deal. Especially if he keeps progressing.

Thus a new mental disorder has been created.

Valid point and the kid will then start posting nonsense on this site like all of us regulars.

I have to DVR the postgame on NBCSN so he can watch Milbury when he wakes up in the morning before he goes to school....8 years old......


....i also have to deal with him walking around the house with a Zetterberg jersey....kids not even a teen yet and he's already effecting my blood pressure.

...but he loves hockey....been skating since he was four.

If that's the case I'm going to work on his "No" this week.......

While they have ROOM to sign Toews / Kane/ they don't have MANSIONS.

Need the bridge deals to get them thru until about 16-17 or 17-18, most likely.

So I'm going to have to refer to him as US Jr. going forward?

Good answer.

Zetterberg jersey

That's hilarious!! But it's ok...I never owned an Yzerman jersey when I was a kid because well I'm from Chicago...but he wan one of my favorite players growin up...went and got a Jagr jersey instead...Pens jersey...STARTER old as poop...still in one piece, great quality....hopefully one day a little cap'n serious will come along and I can give it to him that and a Toews jersey that I plan on buying now when I get to Chicago...good that you got him starting skating at such a young age

Probably right. For some reason I can't make a 2015 roster on capgeek so I'm having a little trouble conceptualizing it

........he's on his way. I would have to teach him the proper time to use it
