why does Mike Milbury and Keith Jones hate the Kings?

[KingPuckChoo]

i really dont get it...is there any reason?

they never give props to LA at alllll

but i dunno where this hate comes from

i would understand if there's hate for teams like TO, MTL, NY, BOS, PHI, VAN ...these are big markets and create a lot of noise

but why would there be passionate hate towards a team like LA or NSH, CLB, STL or markets like that...


so anyone knows??

I don't get that sense when I hear them talk about the Kings. I've seen them give the Kings plenty of props in previous wins.

Agree with ziggy. They have been complimentary to the kings thus far. And they both have been slobbering over dustin brown

i feel a lot of negative vibes from these 2...often!

very hard to ignore

[DocWest]

I don't see it either. In fact, Milbury has been on the Kings bandwagon for a while.

Me too they give Kings plenty of props. Maybe its because the Kings lost and your listening to them breakdown the game and naturally they are going to give reasons why the Yotes won and why the Kings lost. Mike Milbury is a sour puss though and really has zero personality. Jonesy is o.k. - Barry Melrose should be doing the breakdown he's concise and to the point but works for ESPN.

Are you joking? It was a Kings love-in from those guys for the first 3 games. They praise the Kings when the Kings deserve the praise.

[Jason Lewis]

Milbury and Jones both said that the Kings would sweep..

and even after game 4 they said it was just delaying the inevitable and they are clear cup favorites -_-

The broadcast team has been pro-Phoenix, but they used to work for them. Studio guys have been praising the kings all series.

Agreed. I didn't watch yesterday's post-game since I was at the game and I don't like to review losses ( ), but they have been very fair and very complimentary of the Kings' run.

The NHL Network guys have also been slobbering all over the Kings as well.

[Martyros]

I don't really give a crap about what either of them say; they're not one of the smater individuals.....afterall, it was Jones that felt that shootouts were necessary in the playoffs.

[MN14]

I don't think they do. Milbury is a slob, but he's honest. Always liked Jones. Both of them have been (sometimes overly) complimentary while trying to be pretty neutral.

You want to see Kings hate, see: Button, Craig.

Yea but jones predicted the yotes before the kings dominated the first 2 games.

Ever since then they have shown the love. (up until last game)

[nocturn]

I disagree 100%. They've both been riding the Kings jock for weeks now...esp Dilbury on Brown.

Not at the beginning - Jones picked Phoenix to win the series.

Regardless, I don't see any hate from these two. More than once Milbury's called the Kings the best team in the playoffs.
