BuffalOhio Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 I don't care. He didn't call them eurotrash, he said they brought their 'eurotrash game', which is not very physical and easily intimidated. So what. What's the big deal? Is he a jerk? Sure he is, but why is this such a big deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blugold43 Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 it is no big deal at all...Russia laid down like ###### and deserved to be called out! you know, it cracks me up...they hire these guys to express opinions and be entertaining...then when they stick their necks out everyone is so offended... "racial slur" my ass. he called them out for playing like pussies, which they did! good for him for telling the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkwwjd Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Milbury has been a jerk since that day he climbed into the stands and beat a Ranger fan with the fan's shoe ... no surprise here, nothing to see, move along. If that had happened today, Milbury would never be allowed to work in any connection with the NHL (or the Olympics). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Titwide Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Nothing more than some moron (Milbury) using the wrong term to correctly describe the Russian game, not anyone's lifestyle. And of course, a couple of off color words were spoken and The Huff is going to pick that up and try and run with it. Complete with childish badly photoshopped insulting images of the suject. Personally racial slurs make me shudder with embarassment for those that use them, but to go after every little borderline issue to me de-values instances where REAL racism, xenophobia, sexism etc. exists.

TomSmith Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 I really don't have a strong reaction one way or another towards Milbury he is over the top with his preference for knuckle dragging hockey like many Sabres fans are but then again his record as a GM speaks for itself. I've used the term euro trash too, and probably will in the future, but in regard to attitudes, not in regard to how a team or a player plays hockey. I guess depending on how you look at it, it could apply, but it seems out of place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonderbread Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Remember he called Connolly a selfish little ######? That was priceless. His record as GM goes down IMO as one of the worst over the last 20 years. He single handily ruined the Islanders and set them back 10 years.

Misanthrope Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 1. Milbury is a classless jerk. 2. Milbury was a terrible GM and is terrible on TV. The entire NESN NHL broadcasting group should be crushed slowly between collapsing walls (like in Star Wars) as a pay per view event. Brickley should be saved at the last minute, but never allowed to broadcast local games for any team (he's ok as a national guy, but absolutely brutal on NESN.) 3. Milbury was entirely correct in his analysis and his choice in words. The Russians should have executed every one of those players when they left the ice. (Honestly, I thought that communist countries really did this when their teams/athletes lost at the Olympics. My father told me, and convinced me it was true. He was a John Bircher. For real.) 4. All the outraged douchebags at the HuffPo had better never pick on southerners, christians, or rednecks if they want to pick on the term "eurotrash". They are not different in any way, shape, or form. Eurotrash describes a particular Euro subculture/mindset. 5. There is no such race as "European". Europe is a continent. You could even claim that European is a culture (although I would argue that it is not monolithic enough to be classified as a single culture.) People claiming that eurotrash is a racist term are retards and should probably be sterilized. Maybe that's a bit too far, but their opinions should never be considered seriously by serious people. 6. SRS bizness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomSmith Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 People claiming that eurotrash is a racist term are retards and should probably be sterilized. True, that's like calling someone who wants to put a stop to illegal immigration a racist, as if illegals are a race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His comments on calling Tiger Woods "Tiger Wuss" was apropos, given that Elin's husband was dissing hockey altogether. 2, Don't get me started on the Huff - especially on non-hockey related issues. I have to wait until Thursday to rip them apart. 3, Other than that, I cringe whenever I see Milbury's face on the telly because I never know if he's going to offer any worthwhile input or if he's going to stick his foot in his mouth.

Unless someone's a Pens fan, the rest of the league (and their fans) hate him with a passion. Add my Mother In Law to that list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
