Even as a die hard Montreal Canadiens fan, I have to acknowledge that Jay Miller earned every penny he ever made playing professional hockey. I hope he's enjoying life after the game.

[@patrickmoylan5983]

He is doing very well and has one of the most popular bars on Cape Cod. The place is packed every night and he lives well.

[@ReverseMojo]

@@patrickmoylan5983 Thanks for sharing that! It's great to hear that Jay Miller is enjoying life after hockey - he earned it!

[@fsmeltz7058]

I absolutely loved that Bruins team and tilts with the Habs were Epic! That's the best video quality I've ever seen from the 80s

[@ovydell]

Amazing quality. Thanks! We need more of this.

Miller was a punching bag. At least in these fights.

What the hell is this quality ? It´s like I´ve been teleported back to 80´s 😁

Slew foot, Fraser would never notice that, to busy looking in the glass at his hair

Good call, missed that on first view.

[@mattbee7005]

Ya but let’s just appreciate everything about this clip. No women announcers, teams that hate each other and hitting / fighting was the norm. Actual rivalry . Miss it greatly

[@jean-sebastiendupont9551]

Great quality, some fights after 1990 are so bad quality...

Was this the game where Miller tried to beat up the dressing room door and the door knocked him on his ass?

I love all 3 guys, and Miller lost both, but Chris used a leg sweep and it was pretty cheap. Still love him though. Great guy.

'Les punitions: deux minutes pour rudesse'. Those were the days. Enjoyed going to the Montreal Forum. Jay Miller was no slouch, but John Kordic was one tough sumbitch.

[@kevinadamslaw]

It is enjoyable watching any Bruin get whooped. Loved watching them lose to the Habs for two decades.

How did you like the Jonathan vs Bouchard Massacre ? The first year I started following the Bruins. Orielly was my Idol.

I believe a year or 2 before this Kordic almost killed Miller. It was a ugly bloodbath. But I give Miller huge points cause he never backed down. Good fighter

[@Bruins-vq5ey]

Don't seem to remember an ugly bloodbath but kordic was a tough hombre

Not so much that Miller back down which is pretty obvious but he never gave up. He would fight to the death.

Nilan with the leg sweep was a garbage move. No fighter respects that. Miller with a narrow win against Kordic, but it was pretty even.
