	Mike Milbury - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Michael James Milbury (born 17 June 1952 in Brighton, Massachusetts, USA) is a former defenseman for the Boston Bruins, and former coach for Boston and the New York Islanders.
		As a defenseman on the Bruins, Milbury is well known for an incident where he went into the stands and beat a fan with a shoe.
		On January 12, 2006, it was announced that Milbury would be stepping down as Islanders GM to accept a position as Senior Vice-President of Charles Wang's sports holdings -- the Islanders, Bridgeport Sound Tigers, and New York Dragons.

		Milbury's decade-long supremacy running the Islanders (into the ground, some would say) essentially came to an end with the team mired in a midseason freefall that had produced eight losses in nine games going into last night.
		While there was no surprise in Stirling getting whacked, the move to pluck Milbury from the office where he pulled the trigger on an endless string of trades that turned out badly for the franchise came as quite a shock.
		Milbury will remain as GM until a new one is hired, an all-points search that began yesterday afternoon.

	FOX Sports - NHL - Isles' Milbury finally shown the door (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Mike Milbury's mostly ignominious reign as general manager of the New York Islanders is finally running its course.
		Now, Milbury is playing out the string, nominally a part of the brain trust that will name not only his successor, but most likely a permanent replacement for the interim Shaw.
		So, it appears, for the moment, that Milbury still holds a modicum of sway in the Islanders front office, but that is changing rapidly as the owner has rededicated himself to icing a team that can contend for championships.

		At the annual Entry Draft last season, Mike Milbury said himself that this is his "last chance to rebuild".
		Milbury was going "mad" again, expecting the impossible - superb goaltending - from a inexperienced, 19-year-old goaltender.
		With the second overall pick, Milbury decided that more youth was not the way to go and, instead, he dealt that second overall pick (center Jason Spezza), big defenseman Zedno Chara, and right wing Bill Muckalt to the Ottawa Senators for 1999 MVP nominee, 90-point center Alexei Yashin.

	Islanders Fire Coach; Milbury Has a New Role - New York Times
		Milbury, who as general manager twice fired himself as the Islanders' coach, has perhaps made his last coaching change.
		Milbury said he had been talking for more than a year to Wang, a computer software billionaire based in Long Island, about leaving the hockey operations and becoming Wang's right-hand man. When Milbury fired Stirling, he decided to change jobs, too.
		Wang said he had envisioned Milbury's successor perhaps serving as coach and general manager, but Darryl Sutter, who has said he is in his last year in the dual role, said doing both jobs was tough because of the intricacies of the new salary cap.

		MIKE MILBURY IS LIKE A Contestant on "Let's Make A Deal" who's already won a nice selection of prizes, but opts to trade them in for a crack at the Big Deal.
		Milbury was ecstatic after his draft day wheeling and dealing, but he also knows he put his neck on the line by shaking up what looked to be a talented young nucleus.
		Milbury's biggest gamble--by far--is his pinning the Islanders' future on DiPietro, who rocketed into prominence after one season at BU, highlighted by a stellar showing for Team USA at the World Junior Championships and a 77-save effort in an NCAA tournament loss to St. Lawrence.
