Was his comment offensive?

Brian Boucher: "If you think about it, it's a terrific environment with regard to -- if you enjoy playing and enjoy being with your teammates for long periods of time, it's a perfect place"

Mike Milbury: "Not even any woman here to disrupt your concentration"

Milbury can be a clown but he isn't wrong there. That is assuming the players haven't found a way to sneak chicks in.

When I heard that comment I would have thought he was talking about San Francisco or NYC.

I think the thing to understand here at least is that this isn't really a one-off thing for Milbury.

If there's one thing that unites NHL fans outside of hating Bettman, hating Pierre McGuire, and hating the refs, it is definitely hating Milbury.

This is also like the third garbage thing he's said in the last two weeks alone.

His GM work with the New York Islanders 20 years ago is 100x more offensive than what he said.

Did he mean "distracting" in the sense of finding the women attractive...?
That's not really sexist, but more him admitting a weakness for good looking women.

If he meant it was distracting that a woman even talked, then yeah, that would have been sexist.

But the former? Nope.

The funny thing about telling others to take the high road is how often it's hypocritical advice.

Fire him, take away all forms of income, deplatform and unperson him so he can't say anything in public ever again. Hopefully he'll die homeless and pennyless.
