Mike Milbury is out and Mike Babcock is in for NBC Sports’ coverage of the NHL this season. He’s a unique talent, and he’s given a lot to NBC and the NHL over the years. In a statement, NBC Sports said: “We are grateful to Mike for all of his contributions to our coverage for 14 years, but he will not be returning to our NHL announce team. Asked twice on a season-opening conference call about the decision to hire Babcock, Flood gave terse, brief answers. “I’m also thrilled to be back with the NBC team.”Loading... Loading... Loading...
