New Yorker writer Adam Gopnik (and brother to Washington Post art critic Blake Gopnik) wrote a lengthy dispatch from the Olympics that touched on Canadians and the importance of the Canada-Russia hockey game before directing this barb at Milbury over the commentator's "Eurotrash" comment:
There was no excuse, though, for NBC’s Mike Milbury to say that the Russians had come with their “Eurotrash game.” If Mike Milbury thinks that failure to win big games is the result of a poor effort, how does he explain his own career, first as a perpetual also-ran with the Boston Bruins and then, with the Islanders, as one of the most disastrous G.M.s in sports history?
Nothing new, but expertly stated. Come for the swing at Milbury, stay for a great piece of writing.
