He really was intimidating to opposing players.
Great chat Knuckles! Mulberry is a great guest. Straight shooter not to be messed with even today. Like you!
Great conversation Chris. It even raised my opinion of Mike now knowing what horrible owners the Iles had.
Bruins fan here. I never thought Id be watching a Chris Nilan anything. Ive watched 2 pos casts this afternoon and they're great. Hockey giys talking hockey without censorahip or BS. Always liked Mike Millbury and his comments. New respect for Knuckles. Great Boston guys!

@@rebeltvr6046 absolutely correct. That’s why I hated him even more. He did play for Boston at the end of his career but he was pretty much done by then. He does a great job with these podcasts though! I like your handle rebeltvr. Are you one of the few conservatives left in Canada?

@@rebeltvr6046 I agree. Everyone must form their own opinions based on facts. It’s hard to know what the truth is anymore. Anyway, sorry about the Habs season. It’s always more fun when both teams are doing well. One of the best games I ever watched was a Bruins Canadiens game in 1973. Just a regular season game, but was one of the most exciting games I ever saw. Both teams were skating really well and it was up and down. B’s 2-1. Sorry. But the Habs beat the Blackhawks in the finals that year. Hey good luck! Hope for better things to come.
One more thing, Mike's social statement is apot on and its good know guys like Mike Milbury and Chris Nilan are willing to stand up to it.
Excellent statement regarding cancel culture near the end of this piece. Well said, Mike.
Mike was my enemy when he played against Mtl, but we did not know the good sides of the Boston players mayby Bobby Orr, Raymond Bourque but happy Chris Nylan got Mike Milbury on now i get what i ignored back in those days. THank guys for the interview . mainstream sports are starting to play censurship like the social medias. sad to see this. now i listen to Nylan podcasts. Its real. take care you three
This is my new favorite podcast. Awesome job guys! ALso- how great to see Milbury tell his side of things

Awesome! Thank you!
This is a fantastic podcast! I’m so glad it was a KZread suggestion. I really appreciate the insights about hockey life that these guys so naturally shared with viewers. I always respected Chris as one of the toughest men in the game, but I truly appreciate his fantastic work with the podcast. I was blessed to be able to watch a young Mike Milbury play defense in Rochester, and then as a star in the NHL. I truly enjoyed his role with NBC Sports, and strongly feel he was fired without cause. What he said regarding the COVID bubble environment was nothing compared to what others said on the air. Thanks for making my day, guys!
While I was never a big fan of Mike Milbury, but I appreciate that his opinions which were genuine. He was a good hockey player and always seemed to give his best in everything he did, irrespective of the results. Now, after this, I really appreciate Mike Milbury.
Now this is a podcast. Raw and hilarious. Cheers, Knucks and Timmy!!!!
Love hearing Boston references, I work for an electrical contractor who's been working with Suffolk for 40(ish) years. Great company, good luck to your son
I can't believe how young Milbury looks.
Great interview!
Was not a Milbury fan. I am now. Great interview 😊
Another great podcast, Chris, Tim, your show so wonderful and honest fair and supportive to your guest, and hats off to mike for his truthful evaluation of the past hockey teams he played on also represented as coach and gm, I can finally understand the Boston bruins dilemma with the Montreal canadiens, winning teams start at the top and trickles down the line, grapes is a great coach, but the gm crippled the bruins by over stepping his boundaries, thank you all for your great conversation
This is truly inside Hockey. Great job Chris.
great interview, great show! keep it up
Ty for the great interview knuckles. Too bad ppl have become soft these past few yrs. Some personal toughness and character is built on not liking something. At one time it was understood " you cannot keep everyone happy all the time." Now it's more like your one comment like a rock breaks one person's glass bubble. It's brutal. Truths hurt, but lies are worse. Stay true to your selves ppl. Great statement at the end BTW. So true.
Great show guys !! Im 42 Seeing Chris brings back great memories watching hockey with my dad . The Habs were a big part of our lives . Every time knuckles would get on the ice my dad would laugh and say to me watch this maniac lol , in a good way. we loved knuckles.
Knuckles rules! Great show.
Great show. Appreciate Mike's principled stands & his words of warning about today's society. You mentioned Don Cherry & Colorado Rockies. Yvan Vautour was the first guy he took there. I played football....yes....with Yvan & went to school with him in Saint John, NB. His dad wasn't crazy about the football!!
Superb interview Knuckles. Get Bergie in next! To talk about the Habs-Nords (RIP) which you lived. With the awesome revival of the Battle of Alberta, people who didn't experience it forget the Battle of Quebec as the most intense rivalry in hockey... ever. This is now my favorite hockey podcast btw, you're really talented.
Since you go into how American players were given a hard time and few opportunities back in the day, it would be interesting to hear from Robbie Ftorek, who was the best American player of that time, was given short shrift by the Detroit Red Wings, who certainly could have used his talent in the "Dead Wings" era, was basically given no shot in the NHL, and had to play his best years in the WHA. We saw what he could have been in his brief turn with the Nordiques after the merger, but by that time he was 30 years old and soon to be plagued by the injuries that shortened his career. I'm not saying he was Guy Lafleur, but he was a star level player who never got a fair chance.
This was a GREAT interview....nicely done
Messier i was sanding next to him in a place in Chatham years back. Just ripped...muscles.. scary guy...looked like a linebacker...
Always liked Mike Milbury as a player...as tough nosed as they come and the kind of guy you would want to have on your team. He was a great commentator too...a real shame how this man was treated by the NHL.
Great podcast. Thanks guys.
These interviews are fantastic. Mike is super interesting. He got shafted on the TV deal, no one I knew was the least bit offended by his remarks. It was clearly a joke. There are a lot of broadcasts that could use him.
Wow I can't believe that story with Grapes and the Bruins weed
great interview...keep em coming!
I remember watching the game and that National Anthem at the old Chicago Stadium was INCREDIBLE!! Brought tears to my eyes. People came together to support the troops sent overseas and it was an amazing moment to witness!
love the podcast. Great interviews. Very real conversations. No bullshit .......love it
Damn, I remember watching Milbury way back in the Espo, Cashman, and O'Reilly days. Best hockey era ever...70's hockey.
old school guy, nice.
Great interview! Thanks!
Great interview, guys. Milbury is an intelligent dude and sometimes, intelligent people are vilified in professional sports because they cannot be put into a box by their contemporaries. You guys are two of the best interviewers because you let your guests speak while facilitating the questions we all want to ask.
Absolutely love your podcasts! By FAR, the very best guests and interviews whether it relates to the Habs or the NHL in general. Standing hand claps! I admit to never being a Milbury fan, but after listening to the stories in his own words...I may still disagree with some of what he has to say, however, I have a new respect for Milbury the person. Keep up the great job and congrats Knuckles, on recently being named a Habs Ambassador...well deserved!
One of the best highlights I've ever seen was Mike beating a fan with his own shoe LMAO classic

Great podcast Chris keep up the good work. What's in the cartridge? Good stuff I HOPE!
This Habs fan respectfully says Mike was one of the better coaches for the Bruins. The Habs playoff dominance of the Bruins ended with him.
I remember on channel 38: "OK - Johnny Mckenzie sure show em how to swing that stick!"
I am deeply deeply changed my opinion of this man, and I thought he was the sole responsibility for damage in the Islanders. I do have a different opinion of him as a player. I hated his guts as I should have, but I do have a significantly changed opinion of him off the ice.

Wow. Super interview. That's now three in a row. TSN 690 ain't even close. Thanks Chris. If you'll allow me one small comment; your honesty, integrity, professionalism, insight, straight forwardness is undermined by the "F" bombs. They just aren't necessary. They add nothing, not to you and not to the podcast.
lmao! I like this guy

While I don't doubt for even a nanosecond that Chucky Wang's hockey knowledge was subterranean and that he meddled stupidly, Mr. Milbury never was held at gunpoint to stay in that post. Furthermore, he could be his own worst enemy as well re: hockey decisions. His trade deadline acquisitions and other decisions, whether pressured or not, weren't exactly awe inspiring. Trading Roberto Luongo for the #1 pick to draft Rick DiPietro is a dischargeable offense for any owner who knows the first thing about the NHL. He should have been fired on the spot for that. Period.
awesome podcast

I used to dislike mr milbury, which was ignorant on my part, when he got “ cancelled” is when I changed my mind because it wasn’t fair and I’ve seen him on a few pods, I realize now he’s just a good old school hockey guy . Love the stories I hear from him and about him.
KOWLOONS!!!
The respect Mike gets on this channel is actually pretty cool...for me, he does seem to be a pretty respect-worthy guy - but he is, (for some reason) a little polarizing...
Actual fact huckleberry hound & Mike milbury were twins separated at birth.
Hey Mike fm all except 6 ,save them for pall bearers.
Mike is 70 now!!
Gotta love Millbury. Sorry he got caught up in this woke nightmare we are living through

I was wondering about that also. But while listening to how thoughtful Milbury was during this interview, it occurred to me that maybe he hit the guy with the shoe knowing that had he hit the guy with his fists that he may have done some real damage. Also don't forget that the only reason Milbury had the shoe was that the fan was kicking at him. The fan started the whole fiasco by reaching over the glass and grabbing a Bruin's stick while players were milling in the corner. I have a faint memory of it as I watching it on TV when it happened.
Miss Mike on the Broadcasts. Insightful, opinionated, real commentary that the TNT broadcasts are completely lacking. As a diehard hockey fan, I cant watch the pre game or between period commentary…dreadful. Need Mike involved. The NHL completely lacks a quality broadcast.
Mike definitely got a raw deal by the gutless, whiny correctness police. His commentary was knowledgeable and concise and he told it like it was. He absolutely proved in the podcast and on TV he was way too intelligent for a good portion, but not all who tuned in One example of the crap on today. NFL pre game shows now consist of a circle jerk of former athletes and a host whose 2 hour commentary consists of "yuk yuk yuk", "blah, blah blah", the obligatory, patronizing feel good stories followed by more not at all funny yuk yuk yuks. I can't even watch this effin' sh*t for 2 minutes without wanting to puke & always change the channel. They really suck I just discovered the Knuckles podcast and I am already a huge fan. I even like the interviews with the Hab legends, even though I've hated the Canadiens for most of my life. Too many men on the ice, '71-72 season both kill me to this day Lemaire, Beliveau and Cornoyer were the players I admired most even though they killed the Bruins

Mike ,get out there and get that weed.😂
I say John Scott ahead of Mike Milbury because if they played head - to - head, John Scott would have punched him in the mouth and that would have been the end of the story. (-_-)
I don't think people are more or less sensitive than they ever were. Its all just a matter of who's authorized to speak. A rapper making songs about murders he committed is allowed an access to the public and will be manufactured as a person with authenticity, Vs Don Cherry will lose a livelihood for going even half a degree off script on immigrants. Will be manufactured into a man who harbored hatred... They don't want people to question their occupation and they consider European people as rivals. Just read their media!!

Lets be serious , Rogers overpaid big time for the broadcasting rights to the NHL, they had no idea how to pull it off and failed miserably at it . They were trying to save money and Cherry was a big salary so he made it easy to throw overboard . That is the only reason he was fired - they wanted to shed his salary - he made it easy for them
Paid in full for no work... sweet
Milbury's dismissal by NBC was as egregious. As Doug cherry getting fired over the poppy issue on CBC Hockey night in. Canada Political characters will destroy the nhl
Very good interview. Millbury gets ripped as a GM and he did do some really bad trades. In fairness, he had no budget and was constantly being forced to make trades.
38:28
The world has became so soft, its Bettman and the Foreigner in the world fault
Love the Podcast BUT Milbury NO SO MUCH !!!!!!! Clutch & Grabber Defense style Couldn't Skate, my 2 cents !,
U miss Millbury?? The shoe attacker!
The Cancellers need to be cancelled. Cancelling is just a tool to destroy our society. As Ghandi said, 'If we Indians refuse to cooperate with the British, they can't do anything to us." Just do the same. There are too many women that add no value, just problems in sports organizations anyways.
He got canned for saying that?! That's really dumb. I hate this "I'm more sensitive than you", sanctimonious horseshit.
5:03 "It's not that women are a distraction. It's that we're scumbags that can't focus." More of the same woke BS. Done with this video. SMH
Dunce Cherry & his promotion of puppet army men & police.....stick to hockey .
Milbury was an embarrassment as a GM in the NHL. How he got that many years on the job with all his bad trades is ridiculously understated
There all woke on spitting chiclets.
