Milbury Fitting in Nicely with TSN

The Globe has an article up on Mike Milbury's position as a studio analyst for TSN. They are entirely positive about his performance and I was extremely happy as well. Maybe it's just leftover from having Tie Domi sit in on the panel at the start of last year and completely blowing it, but I enjoyed his commentary.

You don't need to agree with everything an analyst says - something I feel people forget at times - but you can at least respect the way he says it. Milbury, the architect of a DiPietro for Luongo trade among others, pulled no punches in his analysis of Raycroft starting over Toskala calling it "absolutely crazy".

He was quick to provide his opinion, he didn't interrupt, he didn't get upset if someone disagreed with him, and he presented it all in a fairly calm manner. All the hallmarks of a good commentator/analyst.

The same cannot be said for Pierre McGuire's "rookie watch". Take a breath, Pierre. Take a breath.
