Nashville Predators fans proved their mettle throughout the Stanley Cup Playoffs, often being considered the loudest venue in NHL history for a postseason game.
And when NBC commentator Mike Milbury said on air that Preds star defenseman P.K. Subban ‘had it coming’ in response to Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby slamming his head into the ice, well, naturally Preds fans were upset.

This rant against Milbury was in response to NBC allegedly trying to buy off Nashville fans with negative signs toward the commentator in the arena.
Here’s a look at some of the best anti-Milbury signs in the building.

Was just offered a hat in exchange for this sign by @NBCSports on our own plaza. Censorship much? #Predators @NHL #StanleyCupFinal pic.twitter.com/BMl4XWjMvk

Shame on you, NBC.
Milbury has been a clown and an embarrassment to NHL coverage for far too long.
