WEEI Mike Milbury calls out Phil Kessel for being a dog

[JOKER 192]

You think Milbury looks at numbers?

Nor should anyone. What an aging player did yesterday has nothing to do with what he'll do tomorrow.

 

[JOKER 192]

Look who he played with. 2 back to back Cup Penguin teams.
His career +/- is garbage.
That said I am down for getting him for a run.

Me too but only if he comes in a bundle with Crouse and Chychrun for Lysell, 2022 1st , Moore, and Zboil . Oh am max retained on Kessel. Then I'm all in .

My favorite Phil Kessel moment was when the US inexplicably (and stupidly) left him off the national team and when they lost he made a joke on Twitter causing humorless hardo David Backes to react like a giant f***ing baby.

For the last time, eff Mike Milbury, a great coach for the B's and an awful GM for NYI.

Every single one of his "hot takes" per the B's have been click bait negative.

What does that tell you?

Love ya, Mike, but get a life.

 

[CrownofThornton]

My favorite comment ever regarding Phil Kessel is Milbury describing him as having a “dumpy” body type. Never change Mad Mike, never change.

It didn’t even make sense.

I mean, getting passed over for the team didn’t make sense either. But somehow Backes found a way to be offended by Phil making a self-deprecating joke.

I’m not seeing any resemblance

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Phil Kessel has better career playoff numbers than

Bergeron
Krejci
Toews
Kopitar

And the list goes on

calling Kessel a dog and not someone you would want on your team in the playoffs is laughable

Phil Kessell also was on Cup winning teams that involved the likes of the Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkins of the world

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Hes also like -134 or something like that

He also left B.C high and dry........

Mike is an odd dude. He's like the kid you sort of hung out with in high school. At times he could be good value for money so he was sort of in play, and at times he was just f***ed up and a major pain in the ass.

The kind of kid that you didn't even try to defend. "You know, your buddy Mike is an ass." got a response of "Yeah, he is kind of tapped in the head"

David Backes is like if the scene where Happy Gilmore uses his chest to block balls from a pitching machine became a real person.

I agree with Milbury on 1 thing .I dont think Phil gets there either with iron man if he played a full 200ft(not every player is that way but this is about Milburys comments). He rarely ever sees a corner I agree with &chubby and out of shape has caught up to him is my opinion.Milbury might be a dick but he is not always wrong.

 

[GordonHowe]

Yes, he did.

I like Mike. I do. But he should hang 'em up,

You understand a lot of that is from the cancer meds and steroids right?

 

[bruwinz73]

Mike Milburn was a terrible hockey player who skated worse than most men’s C league players today and is the worst GM of all time. Kessel has shortcomings but he is an incredibly gifted hockey player that has consistently shown up when it counts.

Terrible take. Just awful. Almost in awe of how bad it is. Might print it out. No custom frame though. Something I can grab at Christmas Tree Shop at most.

You understand he hasn't had cancer in over a decade, right?

Milbury should be banned from analyzing hockey for the way he ruined the Islanders.

 

[Morris Wanchuk]

You mean the NHL's top 40 goal scorer than never scored 40 goals?

All kidding aside, would love to see what he (or Seguin) could do here not with Clode as the coach. Plus with my NHL fandom waning, I am all for a trade for someone who's name I recognize!!
