NBC Sports hockey analyst Mike Milbury angered many when he said Nashville Predators defenseman P.K. Subban “had it coming” after Sidney Crosby repeatedly slammed Subban’s head into the ice when the two tangled in Game 5.
Following the Penguins’ 2-0 victory to win the Stanley Cup on Sunday, an angry Nashville fan fired back.
While Milbury was on set giving postgame analysis, a fan can be heard taunting “get the f*** out of Nashville. F** you!” The comments were so loud that the NBC microphones picked them up.

According to Yahoo Sports, NBC was also offering free hats in exchange for fans to get rid of anti-Milbury signs.
The Predators lost the series in six games.
