Two days after comments which were condemned as insensitive and even misogynistic, NBC Sports hockey analyst Mike Milbury was sent home from the bubble in Toronto, according to sources familiar with the move.
The move came after Milbury, responding to a comment Thursday by analyst Brian Boucher about the environment for hockey inside the bubble, said, “Not even any woman here to disrupt your concentration.”
The NHL, in a rare rebuke, called the remarks insensitive and insulting.
NBC declined to provide its daily schedule of broadcast pairings on Saturday. But, according to a source familiar with the broadcasts, Milbury had been scheduled to continue working into the second round as part of NBC’s Toronto broadcast, before he was sent home.
