#NHL #Milbury - Sport
Finally said “On Long Island” for you Isles fans :)
I’m not a Long Island fan but saying that probably makes isles fans happy
Why not talk about Harold Ballard as well.
I remember when Mike Milbury was doing an outdoor hockey game with the New York Rangers instead of calling them the blueshirts he called them something else
You should have put Chiarelli's run in Edmonton,it was tied with Millbury
No it was not tied, he did give it a run tho
Milbury is like a guy who accepts every trade offer made by the ai in nhl games.
Underrated Comment ;D
Yeah that's what happens to me on nhl
As a fan of the Islanders for over 40 years, I approve this message. The guy was an absolute ass clown, and always considering himself the smartest man in the room. I’m just glad this blowhard is no longer a part of the game in any way, shape, or form.
I approve of your message as well. I know someone who knows Milbury, the assessment that he's a blowhard who always considers himself the smartest man in the room is exactly on point.
There was a team full of good players he gave away....what an ass clown indeed.....wow..and he signed That stellar goalie to the 100 million 10 year plus contract that he got about 50 games out of......nice one,
At least you now got a great GM in Lou. Not many GMs better or more boring than him.
As a rangers fan I loved him being the isles gm
he also treated the cup teams alumni like crap. i guess he still held a grudge from isles kicking the bruins ass when he played for them. rumor is he traded berard because he was banging his daughter
"He made Peter Chirrelli look decent" welcome to watch mojo and today were covering top 5 best roasts in history. Also great job on the video this was god damn hilarious
Thanks man haha! I wanted to have some fun with this one!
And Peter Chiarelli made Garth Snow look smart, literally
As an Oilers fan, we’ve had to endure Kevin Lowe, Steve Tambellini, Craig McTavish, and Peter Chiarelli, and all in a row! They were absolutely terrible general managers, but I guess compared to Mike Milbury and Garth Snow, I guess they were just absolutely terrible, not fucked up beyond all recognition.
@@idontgivetkachuk You should do a Part 2 with John Chayka. Honestly im surprised he wasnt your first pick.
Chiarelli at least won a Cup. Well that should have been Gillis' Cup.
The Islanders could have had a team consisting of Roberto Luongo, Wade Redden, Zdeno Chara, Bryan McCabe, JP Dumont, Olli Jokinen, Todd Bertuzzi and Jason Spezza. They also could have had Dany Heatley if they had drafted him instead of Rick Dipietro.
Conference Finals Bound for sure
Ottawa still thanks him for the Spezza/Chara deal.
That team would've been scary good fun to watch. Much better than the overpayed Yashin and poor injury prone Dipietro. Didn't they have Darius Kasparitus too?
Could of also drafted spezza with the pick we traded for yashin, could of also drafted Zach parise over Robert Nielsen
I've heard people say stuff like that and what you're forgetting is had they kept those guys in the beginning they wouldn't keep losing thus acquiring a number one pick like a Spezza or Heatley.
Wow, other than Daniel Alfredsson the Isles basically had the entire core of the early 2000's Ottawa Senators (or the picks to draft them in Spezza and Heatley's case), and they messed it all up. just insane dood.
As an Islander fan for the last 35 years I have to ask (sarcastically)..... why was the league not stepping in on any of these trades and saying "Dude, are you on fucking drugs? We can't approve this trade.....sorry" It's equally on them! LOL Mad Mike was crazier than a centipede at a toe counting contest!
Man, Ottawa were stacked, now look at us.
It's basically Millbury all over again
So the common denominator to being a bad gm is being gm of the Bruins and then going elsewhere.
To me, the most impressive part is that he lasted an entire decade and his tenure only ended because *he* chose to step down.
Good luck finding a job where you can screw up this much for ten years without being sacked
Shows you how apathetic and terrible the ownership was
The only other job I can think of that fits that description would be being PM of Canada!
It was a master at scapegoating his coaches
High school teacher
When the 2 Hall Of Famers you traded for Alexei Yashin 20 years ago are still playing...
I literally scrolled through all of the comments looking for ONE person to defend Milbury and I couldn’t find one. Observations: (1) I have found something that is actually unanimous on the internet; (2) Even internet trolls can’t come up with any reason to defend Mike Milbury’s tenure as the Islanders’ GM. 😆
😂😂😂
I can't defend his GM record at all. However, as a player and coach for the Bruins he was alright, helping them reach the finals on 3 occasions.
I can't defend him (believe me, I tried to think of something just to be a contrarian), but I will say that as awful as he was, ownership was worse. The way I understand it, they pushed him hard to win now, all but ordering him to trade prospects for vets. If I'm wrong, I'm sure someone will correct me lol
I wouldn't defend him but the ownership had him on a payroll of 9 million by the late 90's. They also had a small, dilapidated arena. I believe Milbury worked under at least three if not four ownership groups during his tenure. He did draft well and actually made some good trades. But overall he did a bad job
You should totally do Mike Keenen for the Blues. Ripped apart the franchise that was on a path to be a contender and traded multiple hall of Famers and ran Gretzky and Hull out of town.
To this day, I can't begin to comprehend how Milbury held the GM position as long as he did. Given the ridiculous decisions he made, it's crazy to think he got away with that kind of stuff for so long.
Facts. It amazed me how bad Milbury rly was
Ownership was completely clueless and bought everything he ever tried
It shocks the hell out of me, too. When the ownership is as bad if not worse, that's kinda what happens.
@@bakedalaskax Yup.
As a Sens fan, I'm happy Milburry made the moves he made 🤣
I was just thinking about that. Dude literally built your team
Same here xD
He helped build the best years of our franchise.
@@miguelitomarques8 Maybe that was plan all along, He was secretly working for the Sens.
As a Bruins fan, I also have to thank him. His extreme managerial incompetence indirectly helped us win a Cup in 2011. Thanks Mike, but you still suck.
@@idontgivetkachuk As a Canuck fan I always get a half chub when hearing Milburrys name. We got so many staple players from him petsonally or through other moves the resulted in players coming to Vancouver.
Milbury definitely made some awful moves as a GM but without him, My Senators wouldn't have got Redden, Chara and Spezza!
And my bruins wouldn’t have gotten Chara either
@@ry4n_0 It's a win/win!
BOSTON SUCKS!!! 😂😂
I agree...but I'm a Sens and Oilers fan and dorion is definitely a worse gm. I know that our owner is the cheapest in all of pro sports but dorion still made really bad trades that a braindead chimp wouldnt've made
Didn't realize he was a GM for over 10 years with the isles.. the ownership was just as incompetent.
Look up John spano.
@@shiskey54 don’t forget Charles Wang. He was a cool guy but god damn he was a bad owner.
You are seriously underrated as youtuber. Thank you for the interesting hockey content. Especially during the off-season.
Thanks sm!!
I really feel sorry for the Islander fan base that they had to endure this lengthy mess. Going from a dynasty in the early 80's to this. "Mad Mike's" tenure was truly a disaster. I believe it was around this same time that their classic logo was changed to the fisherman as well.
I remember watching Glenn Healy on an NHL panel during intermission and Heals didn't back down from Pillsbury. No swearing and no prisoners. Loved it
Are Joe Sakic and Stevie Y the Goku and Vegeta of the NHL?
I don’t get the reference but sure haha 😂
Lol
@@idontgivetkachuk it's a Dragonball reference.
So is Milbury freeza then?
@@genomills9 Well, he was good at destroying things so, sure why not.
GM Ineptitude HOF unanimous 1st ballot selection.
Chiarelli is definitely #2 to Milbury in the "Bad GMs" category.
At least Chiarelli won a cup and drafted one of the best lines in hockey right now
Everyone forgot Rejean Houle, just for the trade of Patrick Roy he was the worst. None of his trade was good.
Punch Imlach also was a coach that became a GM who sucked. He made the team worse that it should have been. With trading Lanny Mcdonald just to piss of Sittler being the most notable.
As a Flames fan, Lanny is elite
That was more or less Harold Ballard's decision and Imlach was his yes man
This man’s tenure was the inspiration for the Isles’ Reverse Retro uniform. Think about it.
You mentioned it, but frankly glossed over it...Milbury traded Ziggy Palffy - an NHL star in his mid-20s and entering his prime (87, 90, 87, and 50 points in 50 games the previous four seasons along with 43, 48, 45, and 22 goals during the middle of the dead puck era) for Olli Jokinen, who just wrapped up his first year in the league with LA and scoring 9 goals and 21 points in 66 games. Jokinen would end up with 21 points in 82 games for the Isles before being traded to FL and putting up 16, 29, and 65 points over the next few full seasons. Pallfy, would go on and consistently put up at least a point per game throughout the rest of his career. In fact, at the time of his retirement halfway through 2005-20006, he was leading the league in points playing for the Pens with Lemieux and the NHL's rookie prodigious son.
On a scoring challenged team you send Palffy to the minors after he scores 2 goals in the opener? Draft a goalie #1 after drafting a goalie with the #3 pick you know you can only play one goalie at a time! The Linden trade was one of the worst all time only eclipsed by getting Yashin for hall of famers Spezza and Chara. When Wang took ownership they extended Milbury's contract, prior to that I think Milbury was actively killing the team assuming he would not be renewed. Drafting JP Dumont then refusing to play him. Jokinen's development was a real kick in the groin.
Ownership was a huge issue. Many trades were done because of bad ownership. The Ziggy Palffy trade for instance was done because Gluckstern and Mildtein refused to put up the money.
Honestly, I thought as a Sabres fan, you were gonna show all of our gms since 2010. But fr great vid bro. Hopefully isles fans don’t deal with this for a long time
Thanks man! Isles are good now under Lou so they’re doing alright!
At least my fav team is good now and the new arena has about 42 more bathrooms
Didn’t the Isles have a fake owner or something around that time? 😂
They were a mess 😂😂
Doug Risebrough's tenure as the Flames GM in the 90s was our version of Milbury
As an islander fan its heartbreaking to know what Milbury did to such a legendary team. My favorite player was Bryan Berard. I was pissed when I heard he was traded for Felix Potvin. I was around 12 or 13 at the time and even then I knew it was a stupid, shortsighted trade. Has Berard never gotten that eye injury I think he could of really been something special. He had loads of upside when they traded him away.
Not a fan of Mike Milbury but the Rick DiPietro deal is not his fault, that was ownership pushing for that deal that term. Mike was actually not the GM at the time, he was still with the organization. Neil Smith was the GM but it was Charles Wong pushing for this deal that lead to Neil Smith leaving/fired. The deal was ultimately done between Wong and Ricks agent.
Also one other key factor working against Milbury was the ownership before Charles Wong had him working under a ridiculously low budget. I think SOME trades were made for Financial reasons.
Oh absolutely. He was as bad gm but it would be extremely hard for any gm to have succeeded under those conditions
Just a little clarification, the Yashin era included playoffs in 4 of 5 seasons he was there (2002, 2003, 2004, and 2007) and the Rick DiPietro contract was made by owner Charles Wang after Milbury had already been fired as a prerequisite for any GM who wanted the newly vacant position
Lol that the Bertuzzi goals was a feed from Linden
8:24 Yeah,thats why you don't sign a player for 15 years lmao
Milbury was an idiot.
I love how the Sens traded with the Islanders again. Like "This guy is a complete moron,he gives up elite players for basically nothing. Let's see how many we can get from him!"
The amount of talent this man has traded away is astronomical
He practically built the Senators 😂
The easiest way to look up his trade list is to search for the 2000ish Eastern Conference All-star roster.
Funniest thing is after his tenure with the Islanders, he was hired as a hockey analyst for NBC. Apparently NBC regarded him as a hockey "expert" lol!!!!
Why would anyone look at what he did to the Islanders and listen to anything he had to say at all?
100% true. Milbury was the worst executive in the history of organized sports. All he had to do to have a Stanley Cup Contender? Was not trade everyone away.
Peter Laviolette would've became Al Arbour 2.0.
as just coach he's actually half decent but his record as a gm is absolute garbage
Could you imagine if John Spano actually got away with owning the islanders?? Even if it would've been for a little bit! Probably would've ran the Isles out of Long Island coupled with Milbury. Lol. Milburys run with the Isles always made it hard for me to take him serious when he became an analyst. Lol.
This leaves out all the behind the scenes pressures from an owner who wanted to play GM. In fact Garth Snow had to sign the rediculous DiPietro contract because it was negotiated by Mr. Wang.
the 2000 Ottawa senators were the fleece kings in these trades
Love the video and good details. I got one issue with the video. You said “worst GM in NHL history”, that is incorrect. He is the worst GM in SPORTS history. Hands down.
Made being an Isles fan during his tenure unbearable
i always forget how small of a channel u are cuz ur videos are so good
Thanks sm Lindsey!!
10:03 perfect time to show Jim Bennings mug there.
and Ken Holland.
And they proceed to hire Garth Snow after that and that led to another decade of mediocrity and frustration.
😭
Didnt Snow go from back up goalie to GM
@@jayden2669 Yes he did.
I don't know; Ken Holland just gave Darnell Nurse $9.25 million / year. ( wouldn't that make Victor Hedman worth 20 million? )
Isles fan here... to be fair to Millbury, he had an eye for good players. If he had just not made a couple of those trades and taken the concensus #1 ranked player (Danny Heatley) in 2000 they would have had a disgusting team by 03-04.
They could have had a top 4 of Chara, Berrard, Brewer and McCabe. Luongo in net. And the likes of Palffy, Bertuzzi, Spezza, Heatley, Czerkawski, Dumont up front.
Heavyweights, 1995: “The islanders, the team of the future”
Milbury: Hold my beer
LMAO
The fact that Milbury had a job for so long shows you how inept and apathetic the ownership was
Great vid 👍
Thanks Thomas!
Great video 🔥🔥🔥
I'm not defending Milbury but you have to put it into context. They were a bad team with horrible ownership and a dilapidated arena. No wanted to play for them. The Bertuzzi trade ended up being a bust but he was putting in no effort and asked to be traded. Milbury was forced to trade Palffy over money issues. He also acquired Czerkawski, who had a couple 30 goals seasons for nothing. Same with Adrian Aucoin was a top 4 dman for years and Jason Blake who became a 40 goal scorer. Yes, he traded away Chara, but he also drafted Chara. The Luongo deal, I have no idea what he was thinking with that. The Yashin and Dipetro deals were Wangs idea, not his.
Christ watching these trades is similar to a young child learning how to play gm mode in NHL
I may have fallen victim to that when first getting into NHL 😂😂
Ahh... Reminds me of the Canucks GM. Benning not doing a complete rebuild and trading draft picks for mostly questionable players.
How do such mediocre players go on to become GMs? Kevyn Adams another example.
Every great/good move he made he ruined by trading for guys who either on the decline or did not last
I would argue the Doug MacLean era in Columbus was worse. Mike Milbury was easily the worse of the 2 as a GM, but MacLean really put Columbus in a hole as an expansion franchise
*Worst current GMs, as a Loyal DucksFan...Bob Murray, has been consistently destroying us since like 2014/2015. Its pretty sad to see our roster of fringe and our Farm club of wasting away prospects. Getting rid of Bruce Boudreau was a joke, too. As far as worst GM, hands down...its Mike Millbury. Idiotic trashbin and terrible commentator presence.*
Alexis Yashin, so much talent but such a huge ego and troublemaker. Must have been hard to try and build a team around the biggest "me" guy I think the NHL has ever seen. How did Milbury keep his job for as long as he did? He cost his owner millions upon millions of dollars simply to not have players play for the team. Clearly being a GM in the NHL was not his thing ....
Kyle Dubas must be pretty high up on that list as well
Don Waddell following in Millbury's footsteps
Why in the world people says a player become a bust when hes good but just getting injured?
DiPietro wasnt a bust,just his body that ultimately didnt followed
He had two decent seasons. 07 and 04. He barely had a .900 sv pct in the other two healthy years.
@@alwillk look at the teams that were in front of him each year!
He even made it to the all-star game in 08 or 09!
I think Yzerman is the only GM I’ve ever seen where the fanbase have not called for his job at any point, even Sakick was someone people said sucked before the Duchane deal 😂
Without milbury the isles could've been a powerhouse throughout the early 2000s for sure
And how Milbury got a job as an analyst for the NHL is oxymoronic!
I think the Isles should have let him stay as a coach, he would have had hopefully a better GM to hold back his impatience.
Great vid
Another great video man!..👍 I'm just learning NHL.. tchachuk is the best!... Australia not much NHL or ice hockey here...there's maybe 1 or 2 ice rinks in each state.. 🤷..I used to love NHL video game Keith Tchachuk I loved playing with that guy....I knew about the fan getting hit with the shoe I didn't know he was the worst GM in history as well!.... Lol
You’ll be surprised to find out the impact former players have truly had on the game haha! Thanks for the support!!
@@idontgivetkachuk yeah it's a great + interesting history. I've been watching a lot video's the last few months + highlights of games.
That’s not mentioning guys like John Spano or Sumaj Kumar
Isles from 1995-2010 😆
Peter chiarelli did win a cup though when he was gm for the bruins but did do a pretty bad job for the oilers
It’s almost like the dude didn’t trust his scouting lol
He had no money to work with. The isles never had any veterans. The young guys had no leadership, and when they lost, which was all the time, they had endured all of the blame. He tried to bring veterans. Since the ownership was such a mess no one wanted to be there. Don't get me wrong, he wasn't a good gm, but their is a lot of context that usually is ignored in these videos
This is what Jim Nil is doing to the Stars. It isn't as bad as Millbury but that probably means prolonged suffering.
The guy Milbury beat with a shoe gave him karma
Great video
The Worst GM in History *Jim Benning has entered the chat*
It blew my mind how bad of a general manager Mike Milbury was
What’s always left me just shaking my head is that he was hired as an expert analyst for broadcasts after his disaster as GM.
He rivals Loo Nanny from the Minnesnowta North Stars as far as under performing. Always had a ‘New 2 or 3 Year Plan.’ The Cup has never resided in ‘The State of Hockey.’ The greedy - assed owner took the franchise to dallas and they dallas Stars won the Cup in 99.
Absolutely agree, a case could be made for "Super Loo" as the worst all time even ahead of "Shoe Boy".
You have to remember, at the time, DiPietro, and lots of other busts, at the time were great picks, with lots of potential.
And if they panned out, he traded them.
If they didn't he signed them for a decade +.
I think Milbury was hired to destroy the Islanders
And that is why we should listen to him on the NHL network and NBC
BOB PULFORD!
END OF CONVERSATION!
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
Milbury might be the greatest Ottawa Senators GM.
😂😂😂😂
We need more of this
Ive always wondered if Milbury had some compromising photos of all of his bosses over the years, which is how he kept jobs, because he was terrible at both being a GM and broadcasting. On air, he always looked like he'd rather be somewhere else.
I think his players would have been more afraid of him than his bosses because they never knew who would be traded next. When Milbury was in charge, you were always waiting for the other shoe to drop!
The funny part of all of this is Chara is back with the islanders tho but his production is slowly declining
Sadly he’s been declining for a few szns now :/
Not tryna be weird or anything but this guy has the perfect voice for documentary style videos
Not weird at all! Thanks bud!!
You telling Milbury was worse than that Ottawa GM in the early 90’s who went 10-70-4 his only year with the expansion team before getting the boot that fast???
This was the guy who at Ottawa’s expansion draft had to do everything by memory cause he forgot the laptop battery charger! 😂
Straka didn't want to be their and put in zero effort.
Chiralli screwed up the oilers just as good
8:30 I hate how people use the term bust for DiPietro. If it wasn’t for injuries the guy would’ve been a pretty solid goaltender, especially if he was on a decent team. A bust is more like a player who was given many chances and failed to flourish at all. DiPietro didn’t have those chances. When he played healthy he was good but he wasn’t healthy. Was he worth the top pick? No, but he still should’ve been a top 10 pick in that draft for the time.
Im shocked John Chayka was your first pick for worst GMs. Great video though didnt realize how badly he hurt the islanders in the short and long term.
Luongo, Mcabe, Chara, Redden, all All stars Milbury is the worst without a doubt I lived it!
as a lifelong Islanders fan..i agree
Milbury is the Trudau of hockey GMs.
I'm actually impressed by how decisively he bombed his own team
How about doing a video on the WORST Refs in NHL history? I'd love that one!!
That'd be a long one...
