Nicely done - totally agree - the guy has no smarts at all and I'm not sure why he seems to be highly regarded enough to have a job anywhere in the NHL world (including media side of it).

Well said. All the douches that work in hockey Work with NBC. Emerick is somewhat tolerable, but Pierre and Milbury are just awful in every aspect. Keith jones isn't bad, curious how he's viewed here as a former flyer. Anyway, good read because Milburys opinion on anything hockey is basically a joke. He called The Rangers "the blueshyts" too!! lol. And he beats people with shoes, what a puss

I ran into some unknown guy in the mall the other day. I was wearing a Flyers shirt and him a Notre Dame shirt...He started a conversation with me with the jist that he wasnt convinced Mace was a good enough goalie...I laughed and told him, Mace wasnt the problem. He looked "stupidified"......

God I'm so sick of that nonsense. He's a different player since he left cbj. He's changed his technique, he's changed his tracking methods, etc. Way way way better. He's a bona fide nhl starter.

Milbury is a moron. Literally in his TV life and his real life persona. Absolute complete total jackass.

Bill,

With Blainville-Boisbriand eliminated from the playoffs, any chatter about the team signing Martel to an amateur tryout with the Phantoms?

Would anyone trade manning and Pronger to a cap floor team to get in return a 30 yoa career minor leaguer?

No, but I think he will do so and spend the final few games of the season with the Phantoms.

couldnt agree more with this article. I was thinking all these things yesterday when i heard his comments. He is a a joke, I know he needs to say things to draw people in but come on. Mason has been a top tier goalie since coming to Philly. Sure he has allowed some cheap goals but he has been solid.

BINGO.....What does Millbury have on MSNBC staff? This guy is terrible. You forgot to add to your piece his "mature" actions in youth hockey as well.

Milbury was suspended for 8 games for beating up a Rangers fan with a shoe in 1979

Thanks! I think it'd be good for him to get a couple of games in and work with coaches/trainers before the summer.

If the Flyers are looking for another forward in his 20's from the Euro leagues to follow in the footsteps of Raffl and PEB here's a candidate: Derek Ryan. He's American, but was MVP of the Swedish league this season.

I have to say I'm a little surprised by this blog. It's not your style at all.

Bill reads the pulse of the fan base. I would have to say as a complete whole, Milbury really ticked us all off.
