Game Day: Sens host Detroit - Oct. 11th, 2008

I love that Milbury said during one of the intermissions that if you have a choice in the 5th round between a kid from Gothenberg and a kid from Canada, you always take the Canadian one (when Alfredsson was taken with a 6th rounder).

There's definitely reasons he's an analyst now and not a GM. That's just one of them.

Honestly, though, from where I sit, he was a better GM than he is an analyst. At least as a GM I didn't have to see that smug mug of his or listen to the inane nonsense that comes out of his mouth. At least Cherry is usually right about the hockey side of things, and you can use his outfits to adjust the color saturation on your set. I find no redeeming qualities in Dickbury.

It struck me as odd and a little silly when they first announced that he was hired.

They need outspoken and dumb analysts to attract viewers. Millbury has the hockey IQ of a paper shredder.

I agree with this - and add that he's a brutally bad GM... (we need him to take over a team like Pit or Detroit, if only so we can make a few trades...)

Oh yes please.

Even Florida or Vancouver - a goalie for Christmas for Sens fans, maybe?

Step 1, make him your captain. Done.
Step 2, trade him.

At least that was the procedure with the Habs before Koivu.

So it's not like it hasn't happened before, right? :D
