Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't "Eurotrash" just a slightly more insulting way of calling someone snotty and lazy? Christ, it's not like he used a racial slur. :rolleyes:

Chatter on sports talk radio is that Mike Milbury should be taken off NBC for his statement about the Russian game. Milbury speaking to hockey people makes an accurate statement. However, to the non-hockey knowledgable crowd it sounds like he is insulting the Russian team. NBC brought Milbury in because he is popular, well-respected and mostly because he is known to be outspoken. This type of comment should not surprise the network brass. Milbury's best defense here is to stick to the truth as he sees it and tell anyone seeking an apology to pound sand. For this he would be more respected in the hockey world. Agreeing to some corporate apology statement carefully crafted by NBC lawyers would be shameful. I don't know what NBC is worried about. The women's figure skating is the network's bread and butter for ratings and audience viewership, not hockey.

They should have Milbury do the commentary for figure skating, then I may even watch it. He should be able to come up with some entertaining comments.

It's got more the connotations of "Guido": loud, stupid, promiscuous. Think Martin and Akroyd's "two wild and crazy guys," or any European in Zoolander.

It was a funny comment, but it really didn't make any sense. Milbury meant it was garbage hockey, and the Russians are European, sort of, so, nyuk nyuk.

For the critics to make a fuss over it shows a profound lack of anything better to do.

It's a sad day when we're no longer allowed to insult Russians because everyone is offended by everything.

Down to the last rocks in the curling, love how the Swiss coach piles the pressure on. "If you make this shot, we can win this game".

Swiss needed two, only get one, lose to Canada 6-5. Ouch.

First Putin whines about figure skating, now KHL boss Medvedev checks in!

Alex Medvedev says the Russian team's early exit from the Olympic hockey tournament had nothing to do with the nine KHL players on its roster.

In Vancouver, you can always find a party. In Russia, the party always finds you.

I read back a few pages to see what was said last night.

Christ, no love for the Slovaks. All of a sudden Canada has the easy road? What makes you think Sweden's D would have done any better against Canada?

Everyone is terrified of the Canadians because they have won a few games again. I, for one, am sick and **** tired of hearing about how good a team the Canadians have.

Screw 'em.

:p

The Russian coach may be an idiot, but **** if he doesn't quote well.

- Maybe the reason of the loss is that the Russian players visited some parties recently?
Bykov: "Do not search for something that does not exist! The players were preparing really hard."

- Don't you think that such a loss in the Olympic quarterfinal requires a more in-depth explanation?
Bykov: "Yeah, let's bring some guillotines and gibbets. We have 35 men in the hockey team, let's kill them on the Red Square! What's the point of trying to find out who is guilty now? When you lose 0-1, does it mean that this loss is better? There are teams that say: "We lost but we did it with dignity!" It doesn't matter if it's 2-3, 2-4, a loss is a loss.
You want to blame someone? Blame me. We don't have a grudge against the players, they tried hard."
