from Jim Kelley of Sportsnet,
‘People die every day. If you don’t want to get hurt, don’t play the game.’ - Mike Milbury
It’s only been a week since I forever swore off the idea of addressing the National Hockey League’s unfathomable stance on hits from behind, blows to the head, running players into the boards and the kind of verbal tributes to the malicious nonsense that makes Mike Milbury a growing legend across Canada.But given the fact that sarcasm is wasted on the young and, it would appear, the former general manager and coach of the New York Islanders, I’ll make this simple and straightforward:
Yes Mike, people do die every day - though fortunately for you the people beaten with their own shoes have a remarkable survival rate. Still the ultimate goal of a society and even most professional sports leagues is to try and keep as many people alive and relatively safe as humanly possible.
