The Detroit Red Wings are beaten for the first time in two games against the Vancouver Cancucks, a 4 to 2 loss.

But despite that hefty resume of accusations, Mike Milbury currently has an even bigger one on his hands.

According to TSN, Milbury has been accused of assault and battery on a twelve-year old involving an altercation during a pee-wee hockey game.
