Didn't see this just found it online but honestly, i do NOT see where sid the bawlbaby is all that. He scored a goal in yesterday's game against the US. yay. but he was ON THE ICE for the first three US goals, and had a penalty to boot, i'd say he came up short in personal points yesterday. he hangs around the net hoping to get a garbage goal, whereas ovechkin makes spectacular plays. I am not rooting for the Russian's to win the gold, but i hope to God they pound Canada's behind when they play them. NO caps on the Canadian team since they dissed Mike Green, so i can unabashedly root against them. and Mik, props to Ryan Miller on a spectacular performance. i wish we had him on the caps!

They are both great players, and even though I like centers better than wings, (Which may figure into Milbury's reasoning) Ovechkin is the better player right now.

Milbury is a Douche.HERE'S ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT HIS TALENT EVALUATING SKILLS...

"However, Milbury has also been criticized for the many decisions he made in which payroll or orders for upper management were not factors. Many young players and prospects that Milbury traded away went on to have distinguished careers, often eclipsing those of the players he received in return. He has traded away defensemen Zdeno Chara, Wade Redden, Bryan Berard, Eric Brewer, Darius Kasparaitis, and Bryan McCabe; goalies Roberto Luongo and Tommy Salo, as well as forwards Olli Jokinen, Todd Bertuzzi, Tim Connolly, and Raffi Torres. Milbury has also come under fire for his draft day decisions such as choosing Rick DiPietro first overall in 2000 over Dany Heatley and Marian Gaborik; as well as his decision to include the 2001 second overall draft pick (Jason Spezza) as part of the Alexei Yashin trade.
In June 2006, Milbury stepped down as Islanders GM to accept a position as Senior Vice President of Charles Wang's sports holdings. In an appearance on Mike and the Mad Dog, Wang did not challenge a suggestion from the hosts that he "fired" Milbury."
