Once the Caps "stopped thinking about those Corsi", whatever that means, they had a CF of 72% in their critical game 5 win.

Caps effort in the elomination game was pathetic. These guys clearly didnt want to play.

So far in these playoffs Mike Milbury has:

1) said the bubble is good because there aren't any women here to disrupt the players concentration
2) taken unnecessary pot shots at the attendance of women's hockey games
3) questioned Rask's commitment to the game and to his teammates for leaving (to deal with a family emergency)
4) mixed the CN Tower up with the Space Needle despite knowing he was in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and not Seattle, Washington, U.S. (ok that one's not as bad as the others but still come on)

Eh, this feels like a case where trying to say something but make it suitable for network TV makes it sound worse than it is. I think we all know Milbury's saying that the bubble means guys aren't out at clubs trying to get laid as opposed to "all women do is distract men" and he's probably right about it.

That said Milbury's a dope so who knows.

I'm not going to play devil's advocate for a guy who beat a fan with his own shoe.

That's the only cool thing Milbury's ever done.

For anyone with an Athletic subscription this "Do we honestly have no better options than Mike Milbury?" piece by Katie Strang is excellent.

I hear it as a "something stupid an idiot hockey player says" slip. Like you, I don't think he meant it the way it is being taken. Also like you, I agree that he's a dope.
