I just want to say that I enjoy your interviews with these hockey players that I grew up with. My 17 year old son plays AAA hockey on the east coast and I actually hear some great tidbits that share with my son that he uses as part of his development
What a legend the BIG BIRD is very humble man. Never accepts how great he really was as a player. A family friend of mine grew up with the Robinson's. I haven't met him yet but, hope to get a chance one day. Happy New Year. Gino & Larry
Great interview. Being a kid of the 70s and a huge hockey/habs fan great to rehash. In the book "The Game" Dryden writes a memorable description of what it was like to play with and against Larry Robinson. He would point his index finger at you and you knew you had been warned. Chilling. Good job Gino.
i was an Islander fan in the 70's, 80's,90's..early 2000's........this man is on my all time team , my six defenseman would be Potvin, Robinson, Stevens, Langway, Bourque, Lindstrom.
Yes, but I saw Orr at the very end. I was just saying the ones I saw in their prime. Yes, of course Mr. Orr would have been on my list, at the top but I saw him from 74 until his retirement and at that time he did not play much to due to the bad knee. He is the best their ever was.
I got to meet Larry Robinson and Ken Dryden in back to back days and get autographs from 2 of my hero's growing up. Larry was here in Calgary working with the Devils and was a complete gentleman, as i tried to make him blush trying to tell the young kids that were there getting autographs, how great he was! Ken Dryden was in town the next day for a book signing and talk, and had a nice chat with him as well!
Guy Lafleur from 1974-80. 766 pts in 462 games. An amazing 1.66 pts per game. 3 scoring titles and 3 times he led play offs in scoring. 3 Ted Lindsay 3 art 2 hart and 1 conn. He did it with 3 different centermen. In 1978 79 he led team in scoring by 52 pts. No other hab had more than 77 pts
Life long Habs fan. What a player, what a person. Very enjoyable interview to listen to. Thanks so much.
Our pleasure!
Easily one of the greatest defensemen ever. And, his teammates and players LOVED him. Great interview, Gino.
as an old Islander fan, Larry was so respected as a player, leader, coach...all around good guy.

Nice interview Gino. We couldn't stand the Big Bird here in Boston but we CERTAINLY respected him. Man was he tough. Seems like a real class act .
My all time favourite

Larry never played for my team but it was a pleasure watching him play. Such a solid clean defensive player.
My favorite Hab of all time. I would love to meet him one day.

You left out the best defenseman of all time, Bobby Orr.
Yes, but I saw Orr at the very end. I was just saying the ones I saw in their prime. Yes, of course Mr. Orr would have been on my list, at the top but I saw him from 74 until his retirement and at that time he did not play much to due to the bad knee. He is the best their ever was.
Great player, better human being. Thanks for that.

Larry and Ken Dryden were the foundation of Hab’s dynasty. Great to hear from the Big Bird.

My favorite d-man.🤩
thank so much merci beaucoup Lary i will never forget when you give me your signature at Quebec city thank you from B C now
The first rank of d-men would be Orr, Harvey and Lidstrom (Makar may get up there.)
The second rank would be Robinson, Potvin and Kelly.
I get the sense that Gretzky and Robinson didn’t mesh for some reason.
A ring for every finger...and thumbs....lol.
became one of my favorite players the instant he beat up Dave Shultz
