[@canadiens5]

Always a fan of PJ. Super tough fighter and hustled like a mofo. Any team was lucky to have him

[@rogerzotti1]

Loved PJJ when he skated for the Wolfpack ... Fearless and smart ...

[@michaelfisher3468]

PJ is such a pleasure to listen to. Funny I watched the Tie Domi podcast as well today, he is such an egotistical prick. He never shut up talking about how great he was. He mentioned the first fight with probert at least 10X funny he didn't mention the rematch even one time..

[@CoreySosner]

Chris is such a loyal Habs fan. Think about a kid from the U.S and beantown life long Bruins fan. Yea he was drafted by the Habs but for him to still be loyal to the Habs says a lot about this dudes character.

[@4orrcountry]

Do you realize what Nilan STILL means to Canadiens fans? There's a reason he lives there.

[@matlabatt]

Montreal has always treated the players better then any other team. Montreal started the tradition of giving out the rings. They pamper there players in Mtl.

[@tallguynmass]

Loved P.J. Stock. Guy went out there every night and took on guys much bigger and more than held his own every time he fought. His best days by far were with the Bruins and he is still loved up here.

[@HockeyFightHistory]

Couldn't agree more with PJ's take on the state of the current game. The biggest buzz of the year came when the Rangers called up Matt Rempe, then, every scrap thereafter. People had those NJ games circled on the calendar, & it wasn't because of the 'talent'. Great show fellas!

[@DefenderOfAvril]

I agree with PJ about the hockey nowadays. Last season I watched was 2013-14 and it went all downhill from there. I am from Europe, and to me the canadian-american hockey was so special, because it was so different than hockey in Europe. NHL had everything - goal scorers, great goalies, brutal hits, enforcers, agitators and heated rivalries full of emotions. Nowadays it looks exactly like euro hockey with just more skilled players, it is not special anymore. The old NHL changed my life. I was a small weak kid and I remember watching fights of Tie Domi on KZbin back in 2006 and I was blown away by the footage. As a Euro kid I didn´t even know about enforcers, I had thousands of hockey cards, but I just didn´t know that the game was so rough overseas. They just didn´t show it here in highlights. I remember watching NHL highlights every Saturday morning as a kid in like 2001 and I swear only fight they had shown throughout the whole season was Rob Ray vs Jim Cummins 😄 So I just didn´t know about the fighting part, there was no internet back in the day. So when I´ve seen those Domi fights on KZbin I was shocked and inspired at the same time. He was so small and was wrecking bigger guys, just like Knuckles and PJ, and that was it for me. I started working out and I wasn´t a scared kid anymore. Eventually it got me into MMA and for the past 10 years I´ve been working as a bouncer in local club and I love it. I mean I like some MMA fighters, but I love almost all of you enforcer guys 😁 I don´t watch NHL anymore, but I watch old time hockey everyday here on KZbin. Thanks for this interview Knuckles and PJ the Ass Kicker, you guys are my heroes 👊

[@stevepouliot6906]

Knucks, an absolute awesome interview keep up the great work 👍

[@anthonyscalabrine1721]

Played with pj a thousand years ago in Hartford out of UMass. Nails is from southie, I grew up in dorcchester. Really good seeing both boys healthy! Great interview

[@mauricerobillard612]

PJ, you are so right! I leave in Thailand and can watch my games here if you're a little creative❤

[@bobbasha-bt6ml]

Awesome Chris!love the podcast

[@glennwetherbee4495]

This is great! Seems like yesterday he played with the Wolfpack! Good to see these guys.

[@johnvatistas6569]

Very good and interesting interview.

[@dougsprouse5232]

Would love to see you bring Razor Ray on Knucks!

[@christopherbenson9942]

Loved having Stocker in Boston...great interview guys.

[@nickranorealestate1988]

Love your podcast knux!!

[@hondo3313]

Love all the episodes Chris, any chance getting Mel Bridgman and/or Bobby Nystrom?

[@dtrain8335]

5'10" my ass! You and LB both rolled in late to an autograph session and you bumped into me in line as you were rushing in. You turned to apologize to me and we were eye to eye. I'm 5'8" on a good day 🤣

[@ba1428]

Raised in WR Lived behind Steve in Rossie Stopped by one day when I was shaping a surfboard Nice guy

[@pierreedmundo7991]

Great episode!

[@cliffroberts1774]

PJ vs Steven Peat was a bad ass fight.

[@Mike7911779]

I was at msg when Langdon fought Domi and the next face off Stock fought Kris King. Both leafs were very surprised by their replacements.

[@adamv2296]

what a fucking amazing interview. please make this a weekly show holy shit on a stick Knucks. (re: this conversation with P.J. I think he'd be a great weekly guest or monthly, what a great chat here. not so much an interview but a chat and wow I was/am positively enthralled and engrossed as I watch!)

[@centerhice7948]

Great episode Chris

[@therawknucklespodcast]

Thanks for listening

[@therawknucklespodcast]

Thanks so much

[@MrGlovesave33]

Loved having pj on mtl. Enjoyed his time on tje hnic crew. Miss that. Too bad he is not on there now id watch it. Turn the game off between periods except when i know guys like Biz are on. Ty Chris for having one of toughest lb for lb nice fellas on your channel. 😊 ghg!

[@thomasjefferson8422]

Pound for pound, among the best. Good guy too!

[@petermurdoch3001]

shout out from Calgary, grew up in Lachute, Quebec, Bruin Fan till hometown Bro Kevin Lowe drafted by Oilers

[@brucelowe3391]

A few days late on this one. Worth every minute, thanks.

[@dhosquet]

I called it when then took the red line out. Hope hope hope they put it back in.

[@christianpilon747]

Great work

[@user-ei6vv1iy2d]

Miss the body checking made my son watch the wings avalanche series in 97 he couldn’t believe every shift you were getting crushed it took away odd man rushes no one’s on the ice it sucks

[@joeg9540]

PJ was tough💪💪

[@josephd5715]

Good conversation.

[@dustinsaeb9262]

That trade for Jumbo between SJ and Boston has to go down as one of the worst trades of all time.

[@TheMagnum60]

Completely Agree with Both of you with the state of the game.

[@bobabooey4537]

PJ was one tough mf'er, a great fighter on the ice. A great player to have on your team when the nhl..... was actually the NHL. Chris mentioned Stan Johnathan..... imagine a bout between Stock and Johnathan? Similar size, if Im not mistaken... and similar fighting styles. Both ass kickers in hockey.

[@LL-mt2nz]

I would like to here more about Lemaire’s coaching philosophy

[@canadiens5]

The reason why the NFL and and MLB and Nascar have great numbers is because they have 10 times the population in the States able to watch it. If Canada had 300+ million and the US had 30 million ppl, hockey games would be played in stadiums and a lot more ppl would (be able to) watch

[@brianhildreth9099]

Knuckles, you're the berries!

[@seanyesaki5985]

P.J. should still be an analyst on HNIC. He'd be great alongside Bieksa.

[@charlesevers2937]

Great guest! PJ is still loved in Boston to this day. 54:53 - best line! O’Connell was THE worst GM and that trade anointed him as such.

[@CEJM12345]

Should be on CBC HNIC!?

[@Steveoh1983]

Hope stapes is ok he been gone a while

[@danielmurray7795]

Of course Domi never mentioned every time Probie kicked his ass and Joe Kocur. Domi is a DB!

[@garysullivan3144]

I still have my Stock Crew tshirt

[@IggyInBurnaby]

PJ is right when he implies the players make far too much money for what they do.

[@daveyboy_]

PJ Stock . Or as I like to call him . Mr. Know it All. Remember him on the Team . Jesus , fukin painful

[@Richard01234]

Where's Timmy?

[@stupid7648]

Boston is a dump today Chris things have changed i lived here for 50 plus year's it's a dump today

[@cbarrett34]

PJ used to destroy Matt Barnaby

[@davepeak25]

Stu Cowan clueless. Primeau stopped 45 plus shots other day. Hughes is doing a great job. Allen looks better. The dmen look good. Hughes is positioning himself nicely for a trade Habs can package dmen and a goalie to a Cup hopefull and get a key piece up front. Momtembeault looks great and Primeau is looking good now until Fowler. Dobes. Or the Russian are ready. Reinbacker and Hutson will be a pair w Mailloux. Hughes has got it down to forward now. Anderson. Dvorak. Gallagher. Monahan are all available to a contender to make room for young guys and a good guy back. Love the rebuild. Game against Sabres was great. We re on the edge of the playoffs and will be in next year 2025. Future looks great

[@michaelhanretty5577]

Chris love the show and your guests but you gotta give the eulogy question a rest. I know it’s your producers question but it was dumb when he asked now he is making you look goofy

[@therawknucklespodcast]

haha gotcha!

[@stupid7648]

Haven't watched hockey for 10+ years game S. U. C ks. Period

[@47tooter]

I cancelled my NESN subscription last year too. After 45 years of being a diehard fan. Bettman tried to ruin the game in 1990 but failed. so he had to wait another generation and try again. These fans today don't know hockey from the 80s. Today's NHL is the same as the All-star games, dull and pointless.

[@stupid7648]

@@47tooter you're exactly 💯 it's like watching a All-Star game I remember those days

[@courvilleg1]

Never liked the smirk .
