Milbury's comments and Episode 4....need some help here.


I recently read a Larry Brooks article from the NY POST of which I am curios about. Here is the section from Brook's article:

"It was humorous, by the way, to listen to Mike Milbury fulminate against Tortorella on the NBC Sports Network for his remarks as if the commentator had a shoe in his hand without full disclosure of the time he attacked the league’s integrity during the 2002 playoffs against Toronto while he was the Islanders’ general manager"

I am not sure what Brooks is referring to here. I am aware that Milbury slipped up and was a little tongue tied when he called the Blueshirts the "Bluesh*ts", but I don't think that is what Brook's is referring to. I am assuming that Milbury had comments about Tortorella, in reference to Tortorella's remarks about the refs. If so, I would really like to hear this. Does anyone know where to find Milbury's comments?

I can't stand Milbury!

Also, I have not yet seen episode 4. Anyone know where I can get it? I've searched the internet, but can't find anything.

Thanks.

ep 4

I watched it this weekend here: http://tv-junky.com/2012/01/06/247-flyers-rangers-road-to-the-nhl-winter-classic-part-4

I cannot vouch for viruses and such, but the video does work and it has good quality.

I saw it live...

Milbury (along with Jones and that smart-ass short dude on the set) ripped torts a new one on live tv the day after the winter classic on “NBC Sports” before an 8 o’clock game for like 20 straight minutes (I can’t remember who was playing). Milbury went on a rant about the integrity of the the NHL and how dare Torts question it. He said he wants Bettman to “take a huge chunk of his wallet for what he said” about the refs and that he tarnished the “great and wonderful event” called winter classic. He also cracked some jokes with the before mentioned short asswipe also on the set with them about how Torts is a sore winner and should never speak against the league. Milbury, the guy who single-handedly ruined a franchise and assaulted a 12 year old because he was better than his son at hockey, wants to talk about integrity. What an asshole.

It was just Bettman using his pawns to sweep the failed attempt to send the game to OT under the rug by coming down extremely hard on torts and saying he himself ruined the game, not the refs. Its like ripping ass in grammar school and obnoxiously blaming the kid next to you for complaining about it so everyone thinks he’s the jerk.

Its also worth noting that while they ranted, they did not show ANY of the replays of the calls/noncalls Torts had a problem with.

And to answer your question, I unfortunately could not find a link either. I actually wanted to post the vid on here when i saw it.

Thanks I.Am.Spartacus.

I don’t understand and cannot tolerate Milbury. Why is this man associated with the NHL still?

The results to the poll are comical. 83% of the 92 votes so far, can’t stand Milbury and want him off the air.
