\n Mike Milbury\u2019s bubble has burst.<\/p>\n

The NBC Sports analyst said Saturday that he won\u2019t be calling anymore Stanley Cup playoff games this season after receiving backlash Thursday night for saying the players were doing well in the bubble because women weren\u2019t there to distract them.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn light of the attention caused by my recent remark, I have decided to step away from my role at NBC Sports for the remainder of the Stanley Cup Playoffs,\u201d Milbury said, according to The Athletic. \u201cI do not want my presence to interfere with the athletes as they try to win the greatest trophy in sports.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Toronto Star\u2019s Bruce Arthur, who first broke the news<\/a>, also said he was told that prior to the remarks Milbury was scheduled to call games beyond the first round, meaning the decision to exit may not have solely been Milbury\u2019s. NBC Sports said Friday while pulling him from that night\u2019s Flyers-Canadiens games that they were \u201cdisapp<\/a>ointed about Mike\u2019s insensitive comment and addressed it with him.\u201d<\/p>\n

While calling the Islanders-Capitals game on Thursday, the former coach came under fire when discussing the benefits of the bubble with John Forslund, the play-by-play man.<\/p>\n

After Forslund said the bubble enhances team chemistry, Milbury replied: \u201cNot even any women here to disrupt your concentration.\u201d<\/p>\n

Milbury also apologized Friday for the insensitive remark.<\/p>\n

\u201cI sincerely apologize for making the comment. It was not my intention to disrespect anyone,\u201d he said in a statement. \u201cI was trying to be irreverent and took it a step too far. It was a regrettable mistake that I take seriously.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
