Hello guys, i'm 44 years old and i'm from montreal of course, growing up i played hockey from the age of two and started watching hockey on tv in the season 1982-1983 at the age of 6. My first idol was Mats Naslund but Chris Nilan was as loved as the team stars and still very popular in Montreal. A true warrior. Superb interview boys, it brought back a lot of beautiful memories. I was 9 years old at the 1986 Stanley Cup, it was my first cup and I still remember it very well. Chris Nilan, one of the most popular players to play in Montreal in the 80s-90s. Thanks for the memories.

My NHL fandom started at age 6 as well in the 1986-87 season. The Leafs beating St. Louis in the playoffs that year on the strength of Ken Wregget's goaltending is my earliest hockey memory. Also watching the Cup finals that year between Edmonton and Philly with my Dad is another memory that sticks out.

Chris Nilan, one of the best interviews yet

Being a life-long Bruins fan, I'm familiar with Chris Nilan but this interview provided a lot of information I was unaware of. He's battled a lot in his career but his battle with addiction is equally impressive as those he's had on the ice. I'm so glad he has been winning that battle.

I sent Knuckles Nilan an email few weeks ago after I watched his doc. Just saying I had enjoyed it and hoped he was well. He emailed me back! Made my damm day 😊.

Chris is a gem!

Love Chris Nilan!! Could listen to his stories all day. Great show

What a story about the gracious kind judge; and Knucks, unaware, wouldn’t have been drafted, gets a break, so proud, rightly so, that he was drafted, makes it to every hockey kid’s dream, and plays 13 years in the Big NHL. Has a seemingly great life and finds out the background story at the judge’s funeral. Rags to riches. HOLLYWOOD!! Thanks Knucks!

I love there takes on the whole Wilson thing!

This episode was a straight banger

That comment about Lafleur treating himself to a smoke on the bench made me LMAO. I'll never forget when Guy made his comeback with the Rangers and came out with his own line of sports drinks called Flower Power lol.

Hands down my new favorite guest! Great interview with probably the toughest Hab ever!

I couldn't stop laughing in the Knuckles interview, I honestly knew nothing about him but after this podcast he's a hero for me. I mean when they talk about old school tough guys he must have been as tough as they come, fantastic interview. Love the interviews you boys put out, I get to learn all about these people that played before my time too. Just the way Knuckles tells stories, I could listen to that dude for hours and hours.

Love Chris" Knuckles " Nilan he was never a bully always fought the tough guys. Always there for his teammates in the words of the late great Guy LAFLEUR ( R.I.P. )🇨🇦🇮🇪

Great job guys. We need more of these legends, before we don’t have them anymore

Grew up up watching that era of hockey, Knuckles was definitely an original and one of the best bangers to ever go..

Knuckles Nilan 1986 Habs Cup Winner LEGEND!!!! ♥️♥️♥️

Chris was a stud. Love all the History. Another great pod cast. Gibby from Spokane.

Wow, Knuckles was outstanding. You guys have been knocking it out of the park lately with interviews. Keep up the good work. ROFLMFAO on the Wilson/Rangers stuff. Very entertaining

Dude knuckles was awesome. Some of the interviews lately have been awesome. Trottier and Knuckles

When he said ‘’the stun gun’’ I fucking lost it

One of the best episodes ever. Man Nilan was a riot his canadian accent was just epic funny as hell. But disappointed you guys had Nilan on and didn't talk more about his rivals. But great stuff.

It’s about time, knuckles got some many great stories definitely get him back on

Props to the Knuckles interview. You guys are getting really good at this(I'm still a rookie listener). Every time I listen I have to come back for more. And Biz, you HAVE TOO come back to Wheeling for a Nailers game next season!!

Chris always puts a smile on my face when he tells a story.

Another great show boys!

I felt like I was back home in southie today,felt great!

When biz asked if Guy ever smoked a dart on the bench I died lmao . Pretend to tie his skates Hahaha. Go habs go

Story about the car ride in Boston is the best!

Another awesome show, you guys are awesome! Excluding that Orioles hat....

Biz said it perfectly, anyone thats played this game physically, knows that the Tom wilson thing was blown way out of proportion

@ShoneShitSticks141

3 жыл бұрын

Disagree. Even Nilan said it himself, Wilson crossed the line. Nothing wrong with being physical but Wilson has no honor or integrity when it comes to his physicality. Willingly engages with smaller or less capable opponents but picks and chooses when to throw down with guys like Reaves or Martin. Cowardly.

I don't agree with painting all fans with a broad brush, but agree with Biz on the pandering. As for Whit's take on the structure of the Rags, well, they sure improved themselves after this. Damn you, Wilson.

He is this generations "Greatest of all time"... From the Yogi Berra vault.

Are you kidding me? No questions about playing with John Kordic?

And the rangers need to call up the hanson brothers

Wow if they did suspend Wilson then I guess Chara should have faced a firing squad after The Ultimate Ragdoll of Bryan McCabe 🤣

I frankly don't think it was a particularly horrible play on Wilson's part. The problem I have is with the fine. Wilson's a repeat offender. He was literally suspended this year. So when Parros gives him a fine, that's an admission that the play required supplemental discipline. And, when you're disciplining a repeat offender, it's supposed to be with a stiffer penalty. So it makes next to no sense for the play to warrant a fine.

stun gun t-shirt plz ktx

Epic!....keep the ole skool hockey coming. Today's generation(s) have no fucking idea!

I just went to watch the clip after all the noise... all I could say.."IS THAT IT?" That's what everyone is crying about? Admittedly I havent had time to follow the game diligently for a few years. But is this really where we're at in the NHL? They must not want me watching. This type of "event" should happen 10x a game.

Whitney obviously didnt realize Knuckles history with priests when he made that comment... oops

Atta boy whit, just up and fucking leave right in the middle of the knuckles interview.. I can tell you 100% Chris would find that disrespectful

tortorella is a gentle mike keenan all talk and strict and nothing works

Kreider and trouba were both hurt. One of them would have jumped Wilson

Wit... pronounce thought...and then sought...👀

The wilson thing is so pathetic, lindros used to do that to someone every game to someone way worse, there starting to turn the game into a non physical sport. Most of these dorks that tweet and comment this stuff probably have never played a physical sport in there life

I would like to see RA wear a different wig each pod.

02:03:00 NHL is a business of friends. They hire who they know. Brian Burke hired a low-key coach like Ron Wilson. No problem. On the other hand Bob Hartley (one Stanley Cup with Colorado) still works in the Russia League, not able to get a position in the NHL. I deeply respect Chris Nilan but regarding the language issue of the coach position i don't follow him. But please, reinvite him. He's got lots of stories to tell i am sure.

Get Churla on..

I can't believe you guys lost in the first round....

I'm a huge rangers fan but I'm also a fan of Tom Wilson's game. I think I wanna fight him now tho

Is this the end of the podcast ?

Waah

🏒Hockey drinking game🏒 Shot on goal (for your team) Score (other team) Dropped/broken stick Dropped gloves Blocked goal (for your team) Shot on goal (for your team) Score (other team) Bad shot Every time announcers say your teams name. Penalty against your team. Beauty Man hug. For the goalies splits Hand save Stick clear *Add to it!!*

Mutombo not Manute Bol. Just saying

Of course Arsenal beats Chelsea 1-0 less than a week after whit beaks then 💀

First game next season Rangers and Washington. Wilson's career will end that night when Reaves gets a hold of his showboating ass.

Whit looks disinterested

People just can’t stand Tom Wilson and everything he does is the Worst Thing Ever.

Habs often treat vets badly
