The Calgary-based reporter swore during a pre-game report on a playoff game between the Calgary Flames and Chicago Blackhawks that made it to air on "Hockey Central" on Thursday.

The unedited clip was swiftly uploaded to YouTube, where it's already been viewed more than 250,000 times. ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYsH1uukYI4 )

Sportsnet spokesman Dave Rashford dismissed rumours that Millions had been let go in the wake of last week's on-air gaffe.

"He has not been fired," Rashford said, before adding: "It's unfortunate the comment made it to air, we apologize and are confident this will not happen again."

Published reports over the weekend indicated that Millions had been pulled from the air for a few days following the incident, which Rashford denied.

"No, he's on his days off," he said.

Millions, a 49-year-old Deloraine native has been with the network since 2001.

In the clip, Millions flubs the name of Flames defenceman Cory Sarich then curses before gathering himself for another take.

Most commentators were blaming Sportsnet, not Millions, for the unfortunate outtake -- particularly since the segment was reportedly taped.
