Mike Milbury weighs in on Kings’ Game 1 win over Devils
NBC NHL analyst Mike Milbury joined the show to talk about the Kings’ Game 1 win over the Devils and more. Here are some of his takes:
— Milbury said that the Kings looked dominant for a stretch in Game 1, but did lose their edge a bit before recovering.
— Milbury commented on Kings goalie Jonathan Quick. He said there used to be questions about his mental toughness. Those questions are gone.
— Milbury also commented on parity in the NHL — we have a No. 8 and No. 6 seed in the Final. “If you’re a fan and you’re living in any of the 30 cities, you know you’re a year away from a Stanley Cup,” Milbury said.
— Milbury said that he thinks that in a decade, they can do the Winter Classic in Los Angeles. But they’re not there yet.
— Milbury said that the League doesn’t have a Wayne Gretzky, but he said there’s more high-end talent than ever before.
