I have to admit, I watched this game with moderate disbelief. Not even sure if it was good TV or bad TV. It was kind of like their tribute to wrestlemania or something

And I thought Dan Blysma should have taken off his skirt and gone over there,” he said.
One of the instigators of the fight was the Penguins’ Sidney Crosby. “Little goody two shoes [Crosby] goes into the corner and gives a shot to Schenn. Schenn was late to the party, he should have turned around and drilled him right away, but I guess better late than never,” Milbury said. “So you know, Crosby gets cross-checked, big whoop. He said after he came back from his 35th concussion, ‘I’m not going to do this anymore, I’m not going to get into this scrums, I’m going to stay away from that stuff.’ He couldn’t help himself because there’s a little punk in Crosby. He’s not the perfect gentleman. He’s not the sweet kid you see in interviews with his hat pulled down over his eyes. I’d say screw him, hit him,” he said.

"Hockey won't hold still to give you a better look. You wouldn't want it to anyway. It's the action that makes the possibilities endless."
Definitely agree about Milbury, but you know what, I prefer it to the politically correct white-washing that's going on everywhere you turn today. It's guys like him and Sean Avery and Don Cherry that give the game some color. Hopefully, Milbury stays employed and continues to speak his (feeble) mind.
