    Underrated
    Where’s Stapes???This podcast should be ranked higher than it is. Some of these stories are fantastic. As a Boston guy it’s great to hear Chris’s take on becoming a Montreal Canadian and the mystique of the Canadians organization. I can’t recommend this podcast enough!
  • Saco Maine
    Good Stuff
    Chris and Tim are great hosts. Growing up as a Bruins fan, I didn’t like Montreal. I thought Chris was an annoying ahole, but hearing his insight and respect for the game and other players makes me appreciate him and his take on old-school hockey and the values of the game. Thanks to both you guys.
  • ccm double runna
    overdue review
    chris does a great job. the humility he displays when talking to his former “enemies “ is remarkable. i miss the buzz that players like chris would create for upcoming games.
  • bac939
    The realness
    Great hockey podcast.
  • Eagle124242424
    Really Disappointing
    Chris Nilan is a legend. One of the toughest men and best teammates to ever play the game. But his interview with Andrew Shaw reeks of ignorance and indifference to a crime. Disappointing to see something like that happen.
  • Colin Muldoon
    Great podcast
    I love this podcast! Knuck’s and Tim are a great team that keep it serious when it should be and lots of laughs in between. Great interviews
  • hotdog harry
    Chopper Mr Brian Skrudland

  • Zarboni
    I love it.
    The guys are awesome. They are bringing in the big guns for guests and to hear their stories is very interesting. I’ve met Chris once and he is the real deal. Real tough guy but with a big heart.
  • GoHabsGoVt
    I love it!

    Fantastic interview. Covered way more than just hockey, kudos to Chris!
  • DesParques
    So enjoyable
    Knuckles shows curiosity & humanity in his questions, and let’s his guests speak without interruption. A seriously underrated podcast.
  • Edzad24
    Great hockey podcast
    Chris does a great job. For me as a former college player from Boston now living on the west coast… it surely is fun getting the raw Boston accent and raw local and NHL hockey culture on a podcast. Keep it up, Chris!
  • DDegreeVT15
    Great to Hear Chris Again!
    Been listening to Chris every day for years. Glad he’s back!
  • jtk544
