WEEI AUDIO: Mike Milbury is very pleased with the Bruins but warns the bubble will burst eventually

[Gordoff]

He'll still be slammin' his shoe and spouting off when he's in the old folks home.

I'm gonna be pissed if they put him in the same room with me!

 

[EverettMike]

Great job by old MM! Ahead of the curve on this one.

 

[The Storm]

The man went into the stands at MSG and beat a Rangers fan with the guy's own shoe and somehow ended up years later becoming just about the most hated man in Islanders history.

Didn't he beat up some pee wee hockey player that tried to jump his son?

 

[22Brad Park]

Hes trying so hard to be relevant again.

But that ship sailed.

Yup but the man was behind that bench when they finally beat them hated habs so for that I am forever grateful..

That was Taz. He did win a couple later.

i mean, even if they play at last seasons pace for the rest of this year the end up with 124 points.

.500 the rest of the way ends at 114. So, not too worried about the regular season

and to everything that jaded pigs says, "Douchebag says what!"

I thought about O'Reilly got em mixed up thanks.. To lazy google it my mind gone.But mad Mike beat them I knew that at least

 

[mikelvl]

Thank God he was never GM of the Bruins, we'd still be digging out from that. They'd still be paying Yashin and DiPietro.

I actually liked Milbury as an analyst, and think it's excessive that he got dismissed over comments that were misconstrued, and not even that bad to begin with. He brought a crotchety realism without trying to be humorous or edgy - trading Milbury for Bissonette is as bad as some of the trades Milbury made as a GM.

This Bruins dream season has been a blast, but there is truth in what he says. Maybe I didn't phrase it that well a couple of games ago about the B's possibly peaking too early. But the playoffs will not be a cakewalk, no matter what goal differential and points percentage say.

First Round - Pittsburgh is also trying for one more Cup with their aging core, and always adds at the TDL. Similar with Washngton.

Second Round - Tampa or Toronto, it likely goes seven either way.

Third Round - Carolina eliminated them last year in a series in which the home team won every game. Likely goes seven, as well.

Final - Right now the West looks the least threatening, should they get this far.

So I'm enjoying this historic run, but am keeping expectations in check. They will be favored, but the ease with which they are winning won't happen in the playoffs.

Neither am I considering President Trophy winners are a dismal 8 for 33 I just want them relatively healthy for the playoffs and maybe to strengthen the team a bit if they can at the deadline.

Just to clear the record, he did not. Kid was mouthing off to him, MM pulled him aside and told him to shut up (or something along those lines). A handful of people made Milbury out to be the bad guy, but a few folks who were there said it was nothing at all.

I'm not a fan of Milbury and his shtick, but that allegation was BS.

 

[TheReal13Linseman]

No problem with what he said.
Very likely that the Bruins will not keep this torrid pace, but that’s o-k-a-y.
Also, true that it would make some sense to rest our regulars.
Could we get a Kane or an O’Reilly? Dunno, but either would be nice.
