Eleven Posted December 18, 2011 Report Posted December 18, 2011 “The last thing [the player in sweater No. 10] said to Jake was, ‘What are you going to do now, tough guy, hit me with a shoe?!’ ’’ said Milbury. “Thank you, YouTube.’’ 1. Sounds like Mike was more insulted than Jake. 2. "Thank you, YouTube?" No, Mike; you're the one who hit the fan with the shoe. YouTube didn't do it; you did. If you didn't want the reputation, you shouldn't have hit the fan with the shoe. 3. "The sins of the father..."
Sabel79 Posted December 18, 2011 Report Posted December 18, 2011 3. "The sins of the father..." Seriously. Mike fails at parenthood harder than he failed at hockey management if his kid can't take that one...
millbank Posted December 19, 2011 Report Posted December 19, 2011 When I first read the thread title I assumed the 'milbury' in question was our friendly leafs poster of the same name. :oops: Appears evident you refer to me. Sorry way over the top for me. I enjoy fun like everyone else but this to far. I a very serious man when it comes to family clearly such negatives applied to me suggest very little respect at any level.

Don't let one misguided post run you off. trying to understand what happened here. touched made a passing off-hand remark about how he saw the thread title and for a second mis-read it as "millbank" not "milbury." and then put up the "oops" sign. millbank then apparently took grave offense, announced his intention never to post here again, and asked the admins to scrub his profile. then wolf, shrader, and swamp chimed in to say "please don't go, millsie." ... i'm trying to figure out what was perceived as offensive about touched's post. i think it might have been found in the word "assumed." but my read of touched's post was just that he made a quick error of name recognition, and was just sharing a goof-up that had occurred only in his mind. there was nothing in the post that suggested that touched was associating milbury's conduct with something millbank would do. in a word, i think that millbank went off the deep end with that reply. i also think that we'd be better off if millbank stuck around, and, in so doing, assumed the best of this community, not the worst.

I like this post, I dont know if this was the straw that broke the camels back and if there had eben some other things that millbank had taken offense to in the past but this was a gigantic overreaction.

spndnchz Posted December 23, 2011 Author Report Posted December 23, 2011 Milbury hearing lasted 2 hours. No video review. Case thrown out.
ParkMeadow Posted December 23, 2011 Report Posted December 23, 2011 Since when is breaking up a fight bad judgment? Sorry, not a daily visitor to site, but since your response was to my post, let me explain what I meant. Milbury showed bad judgment, in my opinion, by grabbing the wrong kid in breaking up the fight. If he had pulled his own kid away from the altercation and let someone - anyone - else restrain or yell at the other kid, there would be no complaint from anyone about him and therefore no story. Follow me? I agree that breaking up the fight was the right thing to do, but it appears that Milbury's emotions led him to verbally, and possibly physically, confront a kid in defense of his own son and it looked bad to some.

I agree. You can't be too careful nowadays, what with everyone having camera phone, iPhones, etc that have video capabilities. Someone records you grabbing a kid the wrong way, without context you could be in a lot of trouble. Grabbing the kids to break up the fight aside, if he did verbally confront/assault the other player, regardless of whatever chirping/taunting the kid was doing to his kid during the game or whatever, then Milbury has given us another piece of evidence that he is an idiot.
waldo Posted December 24, 2011 Report Posted December 24, 2011 Shanny ruled it a clean hit . Said the kid should have had his head up.
Bmwolf21 Posted December 24, 2011 Report Posted December 24, 2011 Shanny ruled it a clean hit . Said the kid should have had his head up. Besides, the kid is a whiny, visor-wearing Euro who won't drop the gloves and is a cheap-shot artist with the stick. He had it coming.
TheChimp Posted December 24, 2011 Report Posted December 24, 2011 Allegedly he ripped off the kids shoe and beat him with it. LMFAO. I mean...ehem....what a bad man....

I agree. Haven't liked Milbury for years but this does touch on how times have changed. When I was a kid Dad sent me to Howie Meekers hockey school and it was largly run by Howies son since Howie was a busy guy with hockey night in Canada at the time but when we kids were lucky enough for the oracle to make his presence felt he'd routinely hit his students over the head with his stick as a form of discipline or to get his point across. This was in view of the parents. Everyone accepted it as normal and most of the Dads probably thought their boys needed toughening up anyways. Funny that. Just sayin.
waldo Posted December 24, 2011 Report Posted December 24, 2011 What kind of shoe did he use? i heard it was a horse shoe?

Thank you Millbank, that was not supposed to be an insult at you at all, just wanted to point out the mis-read of the post title to inject some humor (albeit misguided). I read it and thought "what? no way..." then re-read it and saw milbury instead of milbank and had a good laugh. I was in no way attempting to disrespect you and if I have I apologize. You are one of the posters I highly respect around here and appreciate having that outside perspective from our northern neighbors. You have never been insulting or trolling in any way, and I would expect that decorum to be returned in favor. Again, sorry for the misunderstanding.

Marvelo Posted December 30, 2011 Report Posted December 30, 2011 anyone know if Milbury got his job back at Versus (NBC Sports)?
spndnchz Posted December 30, 2011 Author Report Posted December 30, 2011 anyone know if Milbury got his job back at Versus (NBC Sports)? He's back on HNIC tomorrow.
BuffalOhio Posted December 30, 2011 Report Posted December 30, 2011 Doesn't surprise me. You wouldn't believe the crap I sometimes see during and after games from hockey parents. Is it really surprising that it's Milbury that did something like this?

Been away for a while and was catching up on my reading on the board. Not sure what transpired, but I would like to address the bolded and underlined part of your post. It is not for anyone to judge how Millbank reacted and why. He, from what I know from his posts, is a man of integrity and for whatever reason he took offense to the post by Touched by Boyes. It is not up to any of us to judge that, plain and simple. Now, I am not judgeing your post since that would be me doing the same thing. I hope Millbank does choose to return, but that is up to him.
Sabre fan Posted January 3, 2012 Report Posted January 3, 2012 Wish Milbury would bottle some of his passion and ship it off to the Sabres...they need some BAD
