Milbury laughs at McGuire

[harobr12 0]

Did anybody else see a couple months ago, during a post game talk the announcers were talking about teams they thought were going to be prominent, Pierre McGuire obviously picked the Penguins and Milburt turned laughed and said "Are you kidding me?"

Just wondering if any one else had seen this or possibly had a video link for it

[t6lock 24]

not sure but milbury is a pompous douchebag. during an intermission yesterday or the day before he was saying it was ok to elbow someone in the head if ur sending a message. and about a month ago he was arguing that halak was the blues starting goalie lol

sorry if that was offtopic :P

Both Mibury and McGuire are tool bags.

I'd take Milbury over McGuire any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

milbury seems like he always defends the bruins (who he played for). I think they are both guilty of doing those types of things.

[Law Goalie 147]

Milbury defends the Bruins because he played and fought years for them. That's called loyalty, and he's utterly honest and unapologetic about it.

McGuire's only ability is the amount of labial suction he can generate while wearing a microphone.

[camhockey16 5]

milbury is unapologetic about anything he says

this is all i think of when i see pierre mcguire

[skyscrape 5]

SPot on!!!

PIerre defends the Pens b/c he was an assistant coach and scout for the Pens during their back to back Cup years. And of course Milbury and his Boston ties. However I'd probably have to pick Pierre, sure he's antifighting and a bit weird at times, but he never flip flops his decisions like Milbury does when he's on NBC or NESN. Plus he's the joker who gave up Chara for Yashin, Luongo for Dipietro, and singlehandedly ruined the Islanders.

These things are staged, that's why Milbury flip flops. It's supposed to create interest and entertainment, not inform. Look at every major sports pre-game show, there are always a number of topics where the two analysts always seem to be at polar opposites and they "argue".

Totally got out of hand and furthers my search none, but I think hockey should go back to Gary Thorne and Bill Clement cause Pierre is really creepy and with Milbury's whole assault charge (I know it was dropped but it's the whole principal of the thing)

So you're down on the guy because of a bogus charge that was filed and dropped? Not very Christian of you.

My photo position during many of the hockey games at the Vancouver Olympics was in front of NBC broadcast booth so all I could hear half the time was the off-camera banter between Milbury and Roenick. All Milbury did was call any euro team all manner of names-names I try to tell my kids not to use- and go on about how crappy they were because they weren't knocking the snot out of each other. The Bronze medal game between Slovakia and Finland was a pretty exciting game and he just went on about the "love taps" etc etc and seemed oblivious to the actual skill being displayed. Got tiring really fast. Just an anecdote that reinforced my feeling that Milbury is not my cup of tea.

Milbury's a dinosaur who's claim to fame is beating up a fan. He can be pretty indignant to his broadcast mates,especially if he disagrees with them. Pierre sometimes needs a slap on top of his bald head, especially when he tries to pronounce players names like they were in thier own country. At least Pierre seems to have a deep well of knowledge and will give an honest, well thought out opinion or answer. Milbury just gets pissed and beligerent.

Of the two I'd have to take Pierre.

[chippa13 1844]

And here I thought Milbury's claim to fame was a 11 year NHL career and coaching the Bruins to the Cup finals in '90. Huh.

Milberry lover!

This is exactly why Milbury's opinions deserve some scrutiny. He has a very limited appreciation for the game, no matter how arguably broad his knowledge of it may be.

Key word there: seems.

Get behind his abominable jargon and he's a deficient hockey analyst -- and, frankly, when more knowledgeable people call him on it, he weasels around in a way that is neither honest nor well thought out.

He and P.J. Stock need to vanish from the game.

Milberry lover!

Considering his name is in the thread title and just about every post in this thread, is it too much to ask that you spell it correctly?

I'd rather remember Milbury for this :

Robinson was one heck of a talent.

Can't stand McGuire he is a moron.

Nice try Mike.

Last summer I got the chance to talk to Mike Milbury with my grandfather and Mike is actually a pretty nice guy.

(My grandfather coached him when he was playing in the U10 league just south of Boston and our families became decent friends)

Anyways, my point is, everyone harps on him so much about the fact that he likes to complain about "modern" hockey not having enough enforcers etc. I think he just strongly feels that way because thats the way the game was back then. When he commentates you just have to realize he played back when the game was a lot different.

I've heard so many stories from my grandfather (played goalie in the 50's in the AtHL without a mask ) and sometimes I just have to picture the game how it was then when Milbury is talking, thats all...hehe

Mike Milbury is a very polarizing figure. I don't mind him as an analyst, but having been an Islanders' season ticket holder during the Milbury years there, I despise him as a hockey executive. Worst GM in any sport (worse than Matt Millen, imo).
