INCREDIBLE INTERVIEW. St. Louis is very, very intelligent.

[@themmamoshpit4484]

TSN 690 afternoons are still suffering since Chris left lol!

[@Gagne87Fixxer]

No remorse for TSN, they kicked him out and we now have a Great podcast! :)

[@isabellaroberts8939]

I keep coming back to this pod, and I just gotta tell you guys how much fun I have listening to it. Gets better and better every single episode! Keep up the good work you guys

[@therawknucklespodcast]

Plenty more to come, Glad you are enjoying it👍

[@ronmoore4372]

I like how they give kudos to the coaches that have the teaching ability. Nilan has always given props to Claude Ruel for the time he spent teaching things to better his game. Ruel was also a Cup winning coach for the Canadiens.

[@davidpinlac3129]

Unbelievable coach, so refreshing. He has the real experience that players will thrive under

[@cavemanabc]

I started watching the Habs when they won the Cup in 86 when Knuckles was on a line with Carbonneau, Gainey! I lost touch with hockey and the Habs after Roy got traded but started watching again last year when the Habs defeated the Leafs in the playoffs. This podcast brings brings back lots of fond memories! Thank you!

[@mannyo2909]

Nice to see you Chris!! Greetings from Newfoundland!

[@balalalala13]

Hey Mr. Nilan I think your interviews are sensational.

[@victorjoseph8948]

great interview Tim and Chris wonderfull most appreciated

[@giovannimortellaro1102]

Loved hearing knuckles on the radio, it’s nice to see him have his own podcast. Wishing you the best knuckles! Thank you for the awesome content 💯

[@MrDarthdonger]

love the interview with MSL!.....KNUCKLES you are waaaaaaaaaay better doing this kind of podcast rather than your former radio show. The interviews are more engaging and little tidbits come out during this podcast that would not have come on radio. Also, your fun personality shines thru on these podcasts....keepem coming!

[@JohnnyPerth]

Wow, great interview, love seeing Knuckles running the show. Martin is a great interview, he really impressed me. I wondered about why they hired him, now I understand. It is nice to see the alumni so respected again as well

[@stuartdeliduka7944]

Marty and Eric Perrin were so much fun to watch at UVM. Pls have Marty back. Alot of great stories and insights. Wonderful story about these two playing together has kids, college and pro. Gotta be some killer back story. Marty's pro career was great back with all the clutching and grabbing. Love to hear more stories about the trenches. Thanks Marty. Habs Fan from BTV.

[@samspade4050]

Marty is definitely the right guy to coach the habs as we rebuild

[@matteodilullo2795]

Great show Chris u will be very successful in your new venture u were one of all time favorites on the Canadiens

[@patrickkerin9445]

Looks like one of the next great coaches on the way. Very indepth...

[@ScoyGeorge]

First time I listened to your podcast Knuckles... I LOVE IT... keep it up it's great to hear you again.

[@bhayes1912]

Great question about the relationship with Tortorella....was hoping you would ask it.....Thank you!

[@silf1977]

What a great interview. Great job,

[@UltraViolence90]

Great pod knucks!!!

[@colbiecolbie6979]

Great job Mr Knuckles!

[@patrickduquette4306]

just gets better and better Knucks, but this interview is gonna stay a favourite of mine for a while. The great Marty!!

[@centerhice7948]

Great 👍 video 👍 Chris, that was excellent 👏 to have the three of you speak from different angles 👏 👍. I love St. Louis as coach of Habs. He so intelligent.

[@rogerbutchbouchard8019]

Great podcast!

[@kathyhawthorne638]

Another good one, he is so humble WTG HABS

[@jcnlaw]

Thanks for a great conversation. Love the podcast. Trivia: Marty’s son (Ryan) currently plays for the same division one college hockey team where Knuckles played. Northeastern University in Boston, MA.

[@curtisault2508]

Certainly, my favourite head coach of the Canadiens this year 😂. I hope he's back next year. I expect him to be back next year.

[@tomleslie6668]

Good luck, Marty. Great show, Chris!

[@AdamGell]

Insightful, determined human

[@DarkMatterEclipse]

Chris Nilan, '84/'85, 77 games, 21 goals 🤘, 16 assists and 358 penalty minutes. LOL 358 penalty minutes!!!! What a season!!! The more penalty minutes, the better he played LOL! 2248 career penalty minutes with Montreal (the record holder) and 3043 career total. 9th overall LOL.

[@kencrawford3402]

Enjoy this podcast tremendously. I enjoy the podcast because he goes inside the players from their lives to playing. Awesome

[@banjo7117]

the respect he put on The Bulin Wall's name at the end was just awesome, as a goalie I have upmost respect for that.

[@dahchessmaster4616]

I enjoyed this interview...its the first one that I thought was easily relatable. Thanks. (Communication is key.) I like that.

[@moonobservergilles5730]

Another great interview Chris :) most appreciated

[@oldmilliedylie1439]

Fuck Knucks, I just found out about your podcast. I loved you on 690 and always hoped you would continue and you’re so much better off on a podcast! Keep it up brother

[@justicehockey]

Thanks for letting everyone see what a wonderful person Martin St.Louis is!

[@leianehiltz2486]

Just found this ! Watched the Cole interview as well. Great to see you Chris ! I'm 65 now so I have been a Habs fan for a long time. Your shot never got the credit it deserved ! This is Mike by the way not Leiane. Lol ! Subscribed.

[@cliffroberts1774]

Same age as Martin. Grew up in the Point. Knuckles and Robinson were my favourite

[@patt9629]

OMG M. Nilan, i am so Glad to see you with the habs again. Growing up you and Mats Naslund were the one i was looking forward to see play. You are a great inspiration with your determination. Thanks for coming back, can't wait to listen to you

[@andrerobertdrouin3642]

Knuckles when you started with the Canadiens we were happy our gyus would not have to fight you , but when you started scoring you became the MAN our man , we saw you as a real Canadien , we saw you hit on the boards some doofus then skate with all your heart AND HE SCORES , it was at our home party time , yep you were one of our boys , thank you so much for those amazing memories .

[@artbosma9985]

Great show Knuckles...watched my first 3 today...leclair, your post draft show and now marty, good stuff! As a longtime habs fan this is great content. Super happy to see Marty as coach.

[@jjevans1693]

[@davidburke2697]

Great interview....St. Mike's (Vermont) grad listening in NE China.

[@QCfarang]

So nice to see you back in a podcast format, Montréal born and grew up watching you play, you were awesome in every aspect of your game, now a new subscriber to your channel and watching you from my new home in Thailand 🇹🇭 Salut Chris

[@danashsm7337]

Great podcast nuckless

[@TheIncognito187]

Mr Nilan, great interview once again ! Marty was not the biggest and is a hall of fame , im french canadiens fan. You were not the biggest in the days but you fought like a dad protecting his children ..My father , a hard worker always talked to me about the toughest guy , the warrior !

[@patmott8242]

Great cast boys♥️

[@realbeetlejuice]

Subbed.

[@rebeltvr6046]

I love Mats Naslund. Great player.

[@kevinnorcross9308]

awesome.

[@sb0182]

46:00 Tim out there thinking “Mannn I would’ve had that much better of a career with a coach like THAT 😅🥲”

[@alraimondini7823]

Chris la légende

[@faustinojuliano6916]

Knuckles the one who doesn't call the popo

[@sb0182]

What a Smart… SMARTTTT hockey mind MSL is 😳🤯

[@fosterch11]

MSL - sign the man! Marty you shoiuld watch Winning Time about the Lakers. You remind me of McKinley. He said no solo plays in a flow system and your system reminds of of those Lakers and Showtime.

[@MrFelix002]

[@Illumabilities]

Am I the only one who got a picture of Marty sneaking between Chara's legs? :) (I am 5"3 so I mean I could do it without ducking. :) )

[@michelverreault217]

Bonjour Mr Nilan Would talk to Kent Hughes that the canadien need a scary heavy weight one who want to fights a young one Montreal dint have one since you left Montreal dint win a cup since wen the ruff stuff going montreal fold Best show so far Le Bluet cheers

[@gardenofsound7814]

Tim needs a sturdier table so his camera isn't bouncing around so much. I'm willing to chip in, it was the worst part of a great interview. GO HABS GO

[@adamv2296]

Good sh!t but WHO THE FK IS THE GUY ON THE RIGHT SIDE (MY RIGHT) ?????????????

[@dorvalrunner]

I was curious as well so I did some detective work. The main clue was when he mentionned Pavel Kubina . The unnamed player is Tim Stapleton

[@shadesbyshardol9042]

Funny how Nilan tries to disguise his vaping. I guess Bossy/Lafleur's death doesn't deter his habits!

[@41italia]

leave the man alone.
