Mike Milbury and controversy are real good friends. Sometimes he's found using shoes in various ways; or inciting Washington Capitals fans by calling them the "Crapitals"; or mixing it up with bloggers outside of an elevator. To the hockey community, Milbury is that crazy uncle who embarrasses everyone around him whenever he opens his mouth.
Keep in mind this is the same idiot that thought the following deals were great deals from his perspective.
Bertuzzi, McCabe, 3rd rounder(Ruutu) for Linden
Spezza, Chara, Muckalt for Yashin
Luongo, Jokinen for Parrish and Kvasha
Bottom line is that I don't ever take much stock into what he has to say. The guy is a moron and the media has this creepy desire to turn him into the next Don Cherry.

If you're NBC, you're not seeing Milbury as a problem because of a "Eurotrash" comment.
Instead, you're seeing another 10 million viewers next game because he's a problem who said "Eurotrash."
Controversy sells. We all slow down to look at car wrecks.

I don't know if there will be an uptick. People in the US who actually knows who Mile Milbury is are probably watching the hockey games already. Anyone else could give a rats a$$.
What's not to like about Mike Milbury, as long as he's never our GM. I think he's hilarious and the Eurotrash comment was probably pointed at the Euro game where they devolve into dirty hockey when they can't take the Canadian body checking. Over the years in some quarters, Canadian hockey has been vilified as dirty, but it was never as dirty as European hockey, Bobby Clarke included. This international hockey is great for a short tourney, but it would devolve to the crap unentertaining Euro game if it continued without allowing fighting to keep order.
nothing wrong with saying Eurotrash. Its the same as referring to Americans as Yankees or Yankee trash.
If someone referred to Canada as Canadian Trash its more laughable than anything else.
