Okay, We Lied: CBC Takes Milbury Off Hotstove This Week

This, however is the final word on the subject this week.  This may have been planned, due to what’s being done with him otherwise, but Mike Milbury will not appear on CBC’s Hotstove segment during the 2nd intermission of CBC’s Toronto/Boston broadcast this week.  He will instead be working the Maple Leafs/Bruins game as an analyst, though it is unknown if he is “inside the glass” or in the booth.

Replacing Milbury on the Hotstove panel with Ron MacLean and Pierre Lebrun is fairly regular CBC analyst Glenn Healy.  A spokesperson for the CBC informed us that if any further additions to the panel were made, we would be informed.  So maybe there’ll be one more Hotstove post this week.

We’ll have open threads and announcer listings for CBC’s special Friday night and regular Saturday broadcasts this weekend.
