Boston Bruins

Immediately after the conclusion of his college hockey career, Milbury played in five games with the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_Braves_%28AHL%29 - Boston Braves , the Bruins' top http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farm_team - farm team , in 1974. He signed with the Bruins as a free agent on November 5, 1974, and spent the next two campaigns with the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rochester_Americans - Rochester Americans , the team's new http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Hockey_League - American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate. ^{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Milbury#cite_note-mjmilburyloh-1 - [2]} In both seasons he led the club in penalty minutes with 246 in 1975 and 199 in 1976, finishing fourth and third respectively in the AHL. ^{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Milbury#cite_note-2 - [3] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Milbury#cite_note-3 - [4]}

He was promoted to the Bruins late in the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1975%E2%80%9376_NHL_season - 1975–76 season , playing in eleven of twelve http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Cup - Stanley Cup playoff matches.

In his first three full years with the Bruins, his heavily aggressive style of play was a perfect fit for the overachieving team coached by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Cherry_%28ice_hockey%29 - Don Cherry and featuring similar tough players such as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_OReilly - Terry O'Reilly , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Wensink - John Wensink and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stan_Jonathan - Stan Jonathan . The only two times Milbury played in the Stanley Cup Finals were in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1977_Stanley_Cup_Finals - 1977 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1978_Stanley_Cup_Finals - 1978 , with Boston losing both times to the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreal_Canadiens - Montreal Canadiens in four and six games respectively.

In his twelve seasons as a defenseman for the Bruins, he appeared in the postseason eleven times. He accumulated more than 200 penalty minutes in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980%E2%80%9381_NHL_season - 1981 (222) and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1982%E2%80%9383_NHL_season - 1983 (216) and surpassed 100 six other times. He also served as the club's representative with the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NHL_Players_Association - NHL Players' Association and was outspoken on several controversial issues. ^{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Milbury#cite_note-mjmilburyloh-1 - [2]}

Milbury gained a bit of notoriety for what occurred following a 4–3 Bruins victory over the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Rangers - New York Rangers at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madison_Square_Garden - Madison Square Garden on December 23, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1979%E2%80%9380_NHL_season - 1979 . During an on-ice fray between the players from both sides, a Rangers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_%28person%29 - fan left a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wound - cut on Jonathan's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Face - face with a rolled-up http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programme_%28booklet%29 - program and grabbed his http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_hockey_stick - hockey stick . O'Reilly climbed over the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poly%28methyl_methacrylate%29 - Plexiglas and went into the stands in pursuit of the offender, followed by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_McNab - Peter McNab and other teammates. Milbury, who had actually reached the visitors http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Changeroom - locker room when his teammates started going into the stands, raced back to join his colleagues in the brawl. He caught the unruly spectator, removed one of his http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoe - shoes and, while holding the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heel_%28shoe%29 - heel end, hit him hard once with the sole side. Subsequently NHL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President - president http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Ziegler_%28ice_hockey%29 - John Ziegler http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspension_%28punishment%29 - suspended O'Reilly for eight games and McNab and Milbury for six, with each being http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fine_%28penalty%29 - fined $500. This incident also resulted in the installation of higher glass panels enclosing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_hockey_rink - rinks in hockey http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arena - arenas . ^{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Milbury#cite_note-4 - [5]}

He became head coach of the Boston Bruins in the 1989–90 season, leading the team to the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidents_Trophy - Presidents Trophy and an appearance in the Stanley Cup finals. He was named Executive of the Year by the Sporting News.

He was the head coach of the Wales Conference team at the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/42nd_National_Hockey_League_All-Star_Game - 1991 All-Star Game , where he generated some controversy by including enforcer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Nilan - Chris Nilan and checker http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Skrudland - Brian Skrudland ahead of players such as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirk_Muller - Kirk Muller and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Lafleur - Guy Lafleur . However, Nilan and Skrudland both missed the game due to injury. As a result of Milbury's controversial roster picks, the league's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Board_of_governors - board of governors changed their policy so that future teams would be chosen by committee.
