    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

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!

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.

    As an Islanders fan who previously was critical of Milbury as GM, this podcast changed my viewpoint. I now realize Mike had a difficult environment with unstable ownership and the John Spano fiasco. I was stunned how Charles Wang was so meddlesome. I thought Wang was a low key non - hockey hands off owner. I respect Mike’s humility and self effacement in mentioning how he was overwhelmed with the job especially as both GM and coach and didn’t do a good job. This was a fantastic interview Chris one of the best hockey interviews I’ve seen. I am a new subscriber to your channel.

    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.

      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.

    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

      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.
