“We are grateful to Mike for all of his contributions to our coverage for 14 years, but he will not be returning to our NHL announce team," NBC Sports said in a statement. "We wish him well.”

Milbury was the worst GM in NHL history - and of course my favorite for helping to ruin the islanders for 20 years - and was a hideously horrible commentator.

But he was no worse this year than ever before. The only thing he did was say something politically incorrect (even though it was 100% accurate) in the time of McCarthy style political correctness.
