    If someone told me in the mid 80's that Chris Nilan and Jay Miller would be exchanging in a friendly manner in the future i wouldn't have believed it. They had the most fiery battles i ever saw. Great interview once again, i love this podcast.

    My wife and I were season ticket holders with another couple during that time. I HATED the Kings, but loved hockey, so we would go to the 20 games a year for five years. I always thought the best of the three was Bomber as he never seemed to lose. It was short-lived though when Bomber was traded to the Islanders.

    @@stanthealohaman Knuckles is a great communicator and his recall is fantastic. I'm amazed how many of the guys become friends later. Nilan had a radio show a few years back and had on Fotiu and they got along great and at one point Nick apologized for decking Nilan with one punch in their second fight that is never seen. Nilan had hit Peter Sundstrom a cheapshot and on a line change Nick went after Nilan and punched him a shot and that was that! On the show Nilan said that was a great punch Nicky and Fotiu said I'm sorry for that Chris it was cheap. Nilan was so happy that Fotiu had beaten Behn Wilson and they agreed that most guys are good guys but Behn Wilson was an asshole on and off the ice and his teammates hated him. Nilan was like Nicky Boy I was so happy when you beat up Wilson and that last shot almost dropped him. Fotiu was humble and said Chris I didn't really like to fight like you did! He said in my first year in pro in the ECHL I played like you and fought everybody and Nilan goes you had 451 penalty minutes that year combined on the Cape in 85 games and Nick said I wanted to establish myself and then felt as I went up to better leagues had to stay out of the penalty box or I would of been gone!

    oh wow the great Jay Miller! A criminally underrated NHL enforcer and one of the best hockey fighters of all time. He and Knuckles had some epic fights as did Jay and the great Dave Brown. Miller fought and beat just about every great NHL enforcer of his era, which was probably the toughest ever. And these two here were two of the best and meanest ever. Jay had such great endurance like Marty McSorley did and could never be counted out of a fight. Excellent balance too. Great to see these two talking. What a joy it was to grow up watching these legends and other greats like Dave Brown, Bob Probert, Stu Grimson etc drop the gloves and fight each other and protect their teammates in real time. Boston was so tough too with no just Jay but Lyndon Byers and power forward Cam Neely.

    Remember the Bruins Brought Jay up from the minors to fight Nilan every time Chris was on the ice . After 8 fights , the Canadians brought up Kordic to counter Jay . I never missed a game. Nilan was the Bruins arch enemy, and everybody loved to hate him. It was a sad day when Milbury acquired Nilan to play for Boston. I was nose to nose with him myself.

    I always felt Yvon was screwed. He was demoted when the NHL had a bias against guys around 30 or older and he had a fine year in Buffalo and then was sent down the next season to Rochester. Yvon could play and why he was sent down I'll never know? Then in the 1990's all the old guys hung around with all the expansion and the league going to an all checking NHL. If you were willing to check and focus on defense you could have a job forever! Guys like Kirk Muller sucked for years and yet kept a job as a checker. He was a shadow of his former self and yet kept a job for like 8 years being garbage and yet like 12 years before a Yvon Lambert was demoted when he was still a good player! BTW, Yvon Lambert could fight also!

    I grew up in the 80s on the East Coast of Canada as a big Habs fan, so I loved Knuckles of course. I'm currently nursing a bad back and have had lots of time on my hands. It's been so enjoyable for me to be listening to most of your episodes boys! The interviews are very down to earth, very personal and natural. I give both of you - Knuckles and Buster - real credit for providing such a great podcast. You guys are both such good listeners and you're both funny - that's a great combo. Also, you guys continue to dip into the mental health aspect of the human being and are providing a great tool that counters the woke ideology that is so pervasive in our culture, and without really trying to. Thanks boys. Oh, and to note: Sorry Knuckles. I watched that game 7 against Hartford and I couldn't track down your famous backcheck. You were actually in the box serving a coincidental minor when Peppy scored. Haha.

Dad would have my 3 brothers & I forming the human chain holding hands with one of us holding the antenna, as dad would direct our positions... The Boston - Montreal rivalry was epic.... Only thing close was the Yankees - Red Sox.. There was a guy on Buffalo that Jay had some classic bouts with called Kevin MaGuire... Another that comes to mind was Gord Donnelly.

In the '88 playoffs when Richer took a slash that broke his hand, The Habs brought up Steven Fletcher for some retaliation. The next game you knew there would be fireworks. Miller vs Kordic and Byers vs Fletcher fought at the same time. Even the TV hockey broadcast was ready for it, and showed both fights on a split screen. Fucking crazy.

    36:05... Its such a pleasure to hear Jay laugh like this! U never saw him even crack a smile on the ice, only when he was eyeing his next victim!! Staring into another guys eyes with that unpleasant grinning smile.... Yeah, im good!! All set, Mr Miller I will GLADLY move out of your way sir...😊

    As a Bruins fan from Montreal that hated Nilan and thought I was going to watch just 5 mins of this , ended up watching the entire episode. Good atuff and appreciated the clarification on the Middleton incident.

    Its unbelievable how many kids, American kids, especially from New England, were influenced to play from watching Bobby Orr in the early 70s. This directly coincided with the 1980 gold medal win and the influx of American players in the NHL

    Hard agree. One is a product of his times. Seemed more authentic back then. More naive, more grounded, loyalty was a thing, stuff was low tech. People could take a ribbing, everybody laughed more, didn’t take stuff so personally, or carry a grudge so much. Now everything is a worry and people suffer no fools, can’t make a mistake and reinvent yourself or tell a stupid jokes. Plus things are so specialised now, no spontaneity.

    I'm a Rangers fan since 1970 and my late Cousin Richie worked for the Rangers from 1965 to 78 and was in John Ferguson's book called Thunder and Lightning on 5 pages and Fergie called Richie his Best NY Pal and I loved Nicky and Chris and always said I wish Nick Fotiu played like Chris Nilan who was a warrior. Fotiu never fought after 1979 when he destroyed Holmgren and Wilson in Philly!

    Of course you, @KnucklesNilan30, now know that both you and Jay Miller went to Northwood. Well, tonight I walked past my mother while she was watching some hockey thing, very unlike her, and I was confused. She said she had heard about a doc that talked about NHL fighters. She couldn't find it, but she found something along the same lines. She was intrigued because two of the people in the original show she was searching for were Northwood graduates. I was too young for "Knuckles", but you visited years later when i was around 5th grade. What struck me is how big your fists were. As for Jay Miller, well, I remember you, not just because I watched you play at Northwood as a boy, but because my married mother, the married librarian, and the wife of the ski team head all had a little, indecent crush on you. Last name: Hannan.

    Oh man back in those days one time at the old forum 10 of us got together we got standing room tickets. So we stood outside the turnstyle at 6 pm until the gates opened . All of us ran as fast as we could sprinting upstairs two at a time. We found a spot along the metal wall and ten of us in a row stood up and watched that bruins vs Habs game. My buddy's were all bruins fan me and one other guy were Habs fans. They're yelling miller miller. Then the scraps started. Nilan took miller out what a fight.at the end of the game the Habs won I was drunk and over joyed . My buddy the bruins fan goes and tears down the sign stuck to the wall saying it's miller time and rips it in half ! Wow lifetime memory. Nilan ! Nilan !
