Troubles for Mike Milbury

The ballad of Mike Milbury is an interesting one, I honestly have to say he's the American version of Don Cherry. They are both former Bruins head-coaches believe it or not, and both played in the NHL. (Of course, Cherry only played a single NHL game) They both are a little radical with their views sometimes when it comes to the studio between periods, but I think Cherry is much different. Cherry is a celebrated part of HNIC, some love him, some hate him. If the Leafs aren't the focal point of HNIC broadcasts anymore, Cherry is still there. Over the years, he may have said many things that have thrown his followers off the bus, let's have a look...

and he's had many other shining moments of controversy, none of which haven't made me laugh. We've heard about the french, the europeans, even what he thinks of Air Canada & VIA for threatening to cancel their NHL sponsorship after the Pacioretty-Chara hit. ("What a phony they are!") Now we turn to Mike Milbury, let's see his shining moments

I find Cherry to be a little old-fashioned sometimes with his viewpoints, but polite? He's certainly more polite than Milbury. Remember the Cup Finals in 2010 when Roenick started to cry? Milbury still didn't seemlike the most heartwarming person towards him, and his comments are quite heartless in general sometimes. NBC tried their best to get a good Cherry-like figure on their broadcasts, it definately hasn't held up. Now with Milbury's alleged incident with a 12-year old at a hockey game, I think this is NBC & CBC's opportunity to say "hey, you're done." Of course, if the CBC has kept Cherry this long, you never know with Milbury, he could be there yapping away for years. Maybe he'll replace Cherry on Coach's Corner someday.

Then of course, CBC did get rid of Dave Hodge quite quickly...
