A good post here on Mike Milbury and his visit to Verizon Center last Sunday.
I, of course, didn’t see the game on TV but I have heard the announcers were more respectful to us, our fans and players which is a good thing.
And yes, Mike and I met and I did give him a “hug it out” session straight out of Entourage.
Mike said some incredibly stupid things on the Hockey Night In Canada broadcast this weekend again mentioning the Washington Capitals. He said that Washington, Nashville and the Florida teams should all be contracted. If I remember correctly, he also called Alex Ovechkin a dog and then a month later Alex won the MVP award. 
And the season is just getting started. Good way to pump up that NHL brand, Mike. I am sure Mike is just trying in his fumbling and bumbling way to be provocative.
My bet: If I offered Mike Milbury a job with the Washington Capitals, he would take the first flight down; interview; and if offered a position, would take it with glee. If Nashville called – or Tampa or Florida - he would be on the first flight down to discuss employment. Of course, that will never happen. Maybe he knows that he has become a joke amongst NHL insiders and will most likely never work in the front office of a team again. And if I have my way, he will never have lunch in this town again either.
I had forgotten about the shoe incident at Madison Square Garden and the quote about the village idiot. The comment about hair gel is tame, if lame, in comparison.
