Grew up a Bruins fan, hated the Canadiens, but top the hat to Larry. The most underrated D-man in history. Nucks is correct, +722 +/- will never even come close to being beaten. And top of all that, a Class act.
The respect that comes from Nilan deserves respect all on its own. You can tell he loves listening to Larry talk as much as we do. The admiration is evident. Very genuine, grounded ...
Just heard about it from Tom Laidlaw's podcast! I'm a huge Nilan fan. The poor guy impacted the Rangers so much when he arrived and we almost made the playoffs. I write poor guy because Chris was always injured in NY. It was tragic!
Larry is an absolute legend as a player and human. Complete player who did everything exceptionally well. One of the nicest guys ever as well. Great job Knucks
I went early to a preseason game in Providence R I ,Bruins and Habs and noticed Larry Robinson sitting high up in the stands. He wasn't playing that night so I walked up there very nervously to say hello . He invited me to sit down and he talked to me solo for about a half hour . He is one of the nicest athletes that I have ever met. Great gentleman and player.
Big Bird! I remember vividly Larry Robinson's first game with the Habs on tv. I also remember Danny Gallagan's classic tv anouncer calls. Robinson passes to Lafleur who passes to Shutt, he shoots, they score!
Larry Robinson, mentioned that Bobby Smith ! Gave a few words about winning the Stanley Cup When he played for the Minnesota North Stars 🌟 The only Stanley Cup Bobby Smith won was with the Montreal Canadiens in 1986 playing such a big Part in that Cup victory.
long time Flyers fan from the early 70's and I honestly think Larry Robinson would be my #1 defenseman if I was picking a team. Very underrated IMO but just a great great player. Had the honor to be at the '76 Canadiens Cup clincher in Philly and that team was the best overall one Ive ever seen
I'm 67 yo from Boston (Needham, MA), same generation as Chris! Bruins fan with much respect for Larry Robinson. Although the Habs were arch-nemesis, I always enjoyed watching the B's play the Canadiens!
What a class act. As a Devils fan, I'm sure I speak for most of us that we really miss Larry. Would love to see him be an assistant coach if he ever wants to again.
Also born in 72 and #19 was always and always will be the definition of the perfect d man for me. I was so disappointed when Savard wouldn't pony up and pay Larry what he wanted and deserved and he signed in LA. The Habs have had a history of parting on bad terms with their stars and hopefully that changes with the current management.
One of my favourite players growing up. When the other team had the pressure on and Big Bird jumped on the ice you knew he was gonna take care of business! Great interview! Keep up the great work Chris & Tim!
Great interview ...Larry has always been one of my heroes ..He is a class person who excelled as an all time great ...Multi talented ,honest , strong ,decent leader ...
Larry was and still is my favorite Hab. I have his jersey as well as Chris Nilan’s still in my closet to this day. This brings back such great memories for me as a kid with my dad. I can’t get enough of the podcast. Great work, Knuckles!!!
Some of my best hockey memories are from ``big bird`` Robinson. From the 4 consecutive cups of the 70`s to the `86 one, he was a stapple of the ``sainte-flanelle``, let alone the fact he could do interviews in french. A true gentleman and a real champion!
This is the one I've been waiting for, thanks Knuckles, Tim and my fave player, ROBBY. Met him at a tire shop promotion the summer before he joined NJ. He stayed well beyond the time scheduled and was a real gentleman.
big bird is one of the nicest guy we ever had. chis too of course lol.we sure miss him. i remember when he said,ont va planter des patates when they aski him what he was gonna do in the summer after another stanley cup win lol
You guys never talkied about when larry fought shultz in montreal(regular season game on a sunday afternoon) and hammered the hammer , so memorable , 75-76 season if i remember
Loved this one! Larry Robinson was/is a stud. Brings back great memories! Thanks to you guys for bringing back the great memories of hockey the way it should be played 👍
One of the highlights of my life was sitting with Larry in the Tampa airport for about 20 minutes. I was coming home from a Lightning game, having sat two chairs from Scotty Bowman in the press box the night before. Talk about a dream weekend! I approached Larry to tell him he was one of my heroes. He asked me if I had time to sit and chat . . . he's only a couple of years older than me, but I was like a little kid! We talked about the Canadiens dynasty in the 70s, his HOF induction, jersey retirement and coaching in NJ. He was so nice, so generous, just a class act!
I love the respect knucks has for Larry. I think he was always a little in awe of him. Pretty cool to see the admiration. People dont realize how good Robinson was. He was a beast.
Thanks Knuckles. You're interviewing all the legends. You're getting all the stories. Of course, you are a legend to us Habs fans, so we get your stories too. Such a treat!
This was great interview. Knuckles asked great questions as usual. Larry is pretty funny. Had to know he would hate the iPads on the bench. Also love hearing Serge get his props as a favorite player.
My mom lived on a dairy farm just down the road from Larry. William McGarrs Farm where she was adopted and raised. She pointed you out in junior Larry. You became my favourite player very quickly! The farm was where they re-named the line road in your honour. Ross and Gladys Wadell were on the other side. Every time I drive through 'Kenmore' I go up and look at the Road sign with YOUR name on it! I'll never forget that game where Hunter ran our goalie and you had enough! You fought Hunter(when he finally dropped his stick!); he wanted no part of you! AND you fought crazy mental 'Wolf' Paiement and gave him a few good shots! My brother and I had great seats. Never started them; but always finished them! The boys were glad you were on the ice when IT started Larry! Have the poster you autographed for my Mom Verna Bradshaw in my Office here in Ottawa. Thanks for all the thrills Larry 10 SC Rings! You look great! Knuckles you were nuts! Loved you too! Those Battle of Quebec games! - Ron Larocque.(PS- Your Dad Les would probably remember mom)
When I was a teenager playing hockey I always wanted to wear #19 and play defense. Because I grew up in NY everyone would think #19 was because of Bryan Trottier or Jean Ratelle, but I always made sure they knew it was Larry Robinson. He was my favorite player of all time. By coincidence, my favorite baseball player was Brooks Robinson. One was Canadian and the other was from Arkansas so I'm presuming they weren't related.
Enjoyed this very much. I'll never forget the hit Robby laid on Dornhoefer. I nearly jumped through the roof with excitement. Great memories. Thank you for this . Good health and good luck to all.
For years after when Dornhoefer was the colour commentator on HNIC and did the Montreal games he would always mention ' there is where Larry Robinson hit me so hard he broke the boards. " They had to get a maintenance guy out with a hammer to bang the boards back in shape.
What a treat listening to the great Larry Robinson and discovering he is like the guy next door. I am very impressed with his friendly, aww shucks, humble demeanor; a nice person as well as a great hockey player. Not to take anything away from Nilan, a tough, effective player in his own right. Thanks for this experience.
I just recently subscribed to this channel and this is the 3rd interview ive watched so far. What makes this channel so much better than the other one that gets attention....you let the guest talk and tell their story. Its about them and im not hearing too many hosts voices and their memories of said player. THANK-YOU!!!
I tried other hockey podcasts...Spittin Chicklets, Cam and Strick and a couple others. None compare to this one. Love knuckles and his show, it's the only one that lets the guests speak without interruption. How is it there aren't hundreds of thousands subscribers??
Beautiful podcast. I was on the edge of my seat watching the chat between Larry and Chris, lot of history. Living in Ottawa I cycle by Marvelville / Marionville on my bicycle and cross Larry Robinson Rd and always get flash backs of my youth watching the Montreal Canadians. Thank you.
Great interview with my childhood hero Larry. That famous Lambert OT goal against Boston was not the first goal Montreal scored. Larry blasted one into the net but it bounced out and was missed by the ref and goal judge.
I got to see Robinson play on a consistent basis towards the end of his career with the kings. He had lost some due to age, but you can still tell what a great talent he is!
Completely awesome interview here. I could listen to these two old farts blather onlike this for hours. Special to me, as Mr. Robinson is my favorite player and Knuckles is the second favorite. Great stories and insights.
I just found this channel and I'm positive a lot of guys I know don't know about it but I will bring them up to speed guaranteed. Two of my favorite guys I grew up idolizing throughout the 70 s and 80's as far as toughness Larry was certainly a force to be reckoned with but Chris Nilan oh man it was '' fuck around get knocked down '' a lot of people don't realize that Chris was quite capable of putting the puck in the net . The greatest era of hockey occupied by the greatest guys !! My boyhood heroes !
Holy cow, I REMEMBER THAT GOAL IN OVERTIME! Watched the game on an early sixties era black and white RCA. (My brother might still have that tv, crapped out in 71 right after the second last playoff game that year. Had to go watch the habs win the cup at my neighbor's house).
In the early 70s I was taking French language training in Halifax, met almost every one of the Voyageurs over 2 years: Lambert, Riesbrough, Leon Rochefort, Moe, Chartraw, etc. etc. Always kept track of the great guys I met on that team. Before the internet we would get our Habs' news via the Mt. Gazette, Mtl Star, LaPresse, etc. so every morning we would wait for the Mtl. bus to arrive with the papers...Red Fisher, Ted Blackman, Tim Burke, etc. I read it from Red Fisher the morning after Larry got called up. I worked in an office with a whole bunch of mouth-breathing Bruins and Leaf fans. Over the years of the dynastic 70s, they supplied me with more than enough to pay for my vacations. In the upset of '71, idiots were begging me to take their money at 10/1 odds. Made almost $6000 from loyal but intensely dumb Bruins fans on that upset series. That was almost $1000 more than many people's salaries that year!
My first exposure to NHL hockey was the L.A. Kings 74-75 season, where I fell in love with hockey. It was also the Kings best point total season in franchise history, 105 points, with no superstars. But it was a superbly well coached team under Bob Pulford. Larry played for the Kings years later, but I watched Larry's rookie year with Montreal and the great names. Wow, he was great. Wonder what Larry thought of guys like Dave Taylor, Butch Goring, Tommy Williams, Bob Murdoch?
Larry Robinson the absolute greatest defencemen of all time Larry I wish you had some kind of coaching position for our young players,I've always loved how you'd follow through on him checks Pollo man 🤔😎
Grew up a Bruins fan, hated the Canadiens, but top the hat to Larry. The most underrated D-man in history. Nucks is correct, +722 +/- will never even come close to being beaten. And top of all that, a Class act.

How does this channel not have more subscribers is beyond me!!! Excellent interview yet again!
spread the word! Knuckles deserves more subs
Because the habs suck right now.
i’m letting all my beer league teammates know. Chris and Tim are great. They let the guests speak
They're paying attention too much to the leafs when they don't need to lol
Just heard about it from Tom Laidlaw's podcast! I'm a huge Nilan fan. The poor guy impacted the Rangers so much when he arrived and we almost made the playoffs. I write poor guy because Chris was always injured in NY. It was tragic!
Larry was a tough af dude,great to see you 2 Knucks
I use to live less than 15 minutes down the road from where he grew up. It's a very nice rural area
Larry is still sharp as a tack. Great memory. Amazing that he can remember such detail from his early days. Great stories
Excellent interview. Such a gentleman and an amazing defenseman.
“Amazing defenseman” is a HUGE understatement. A lot of player’s careers were lengthened because Robinson was always in total control of his temper.
Larry is one of the top 5 defenseman ever!
For sure. Orr, Coffey, Borque and him
Larry is an absolute legend as a player and human. Complete player who did everything exceptionally well. One of the nicest guys ever as well. Great job Knucks
I went early to a preseason game in Providence R I ,Bruins and Habs and noticed Larry Robinson sitting high up in the stands. He wasn't playing that night so I walked up there very nervously to say hello . He invited me to sit down and he talked to me solo for about a half hour . He is one of the nicest athletes that I have ever met. Great gentleman and player.
Larry is one of the classiest people you will ever meet.
Chris, one of your strengths for interviewing is you are a good listener.
Agreed
Big Bird! I remember vividly Larry Robinson's first game with the Habs on tv. I also remember Danny Gallagan's classic tv anouncer calls. Robinson passes to Lafleur who passes to Shutt, he shoots, they score!
Larry Robinson, mentioned that Bobby Smith !
Gave a few words about winning the Stanley Cup
When he played for the Minnesota North Stars 🌟
The only Stanley Cup Bobby Smith won was with the
Montreal Canadiens in 1986 playing such a big
Part in that Cup victory.
I was fortunate to live in Montreal from 75 to 78 and Larry to me was the best player and what a great person God bless you Larry
Habs team in the 1970s was awesome.
Larry was a clean player. He never cross checked players in the back or speared ….
long time Flyers fan from the early 70's and I honestly think Larry Robinson would be my #1 defenseman if I was picking a team. Very underrated IMO but just a great great player. Had the honor to be at the '76 Canadiens Cup clincher in Philly and that team was the best overall one Ive ever seen
I'm 67 yo from Boston (Needham, MA), same generation as Chris! Bruins fan with much respect for Larry Robinson. Although the Habs were arch-nemesis, I always enjoyed watching the B's play the Canadiens!
What a class act. As a Devils fan, I'm sure I speak for most of us that we really miss Larry. Would love to see him be an assistant coach if he ever wants to again.
I wouldn't want Jacques Lemaire though. He's the worst thing that ever happened to this league.
@@dannythomas417 Devils fans heartily disagree.
But Larry, ‘01 cup: 3-0 with Mackenzie in the lineup. 0-4 without him.😣
I was born in 72. I grew up the biggest Larry Robinson fan. Will always be my all time favorite Hab.
I was born in 69. Larry Robinson was my all time favorite defenseman. I miss those days.
A bit older than both of you, same here
Also born in 72 and #19 was always and always will be the definition of the perfect d man for me. I was so disappointed when Savard wouldn't pony up and pay Larry what he wanted and deserved and he signed in LA. The Habs have had a history of parting on bad terms with their stars and hopefully that changes with the current management.
Best D man EVER.. after Orr
Larry and Flower were my favourites.
Larry the GOAT of defencemen
Larry Robinson was a +120 in '76-'77. 😃
My God was he great, a true blue Hockey Legend.
One of my favourite players growing up. When the other team had the pressure on and Big Bird jumped on the ice you knew he was gonna take care of business! Great interview! Keep up the great work Chris & Tim!
Thanks so much Patrick-appreciate the commets
Great job again Chris & Tim.The Bird is one of the greatest defensemen of all time,right there with Orr.Keep these great guests coming boys!
I agree. It's 1) Orr, 2) Robinson...and many other good D follow.
Great interview ...Larry has always been one of my heroes ..He is a class person who excelled as an all time great ...Multi talented ,honest , strong ,decent leader ...
Outstanding podcast Knuckles! You and Tim do it right.
Larry was and still is my favorite Hab. I have his jersey as well as Chris Nilan’s still in my closet to this day. This brings back such great memories for me as a kid with my dad. I can’t get enough of the podcast. Great work, Knuckles!!!

This is the one I've been waiting for, thanks Knuckles, Tim and my fave player, ROBBY.
Met him at a tire shop promotion the summer before he joined NJ. He stayed well beyond the time scheduled and was a real gentleman.
26:15 Habs outshoot Seals in Oakland 48-13 ... and lose 2 to 1. If I get a time machine, I am going back in time to watch that game in person.
One of my childhood heroes that I met. I was not disappointed. Class act.
big bird is one of the nicest guy we ever had. chis too of course lol.we sure miss him. i remember when he said,ont va planter des patates when they aski him what he was gonna do in the summer after another stanley cup win lol
You guys never talkied about when larry fought shultz in montreal(regular season game on a sunday afternoon) and hammered the hammer , so memorable , 75-76 season if i remember
Earlier than that. If it's the fight I'm thinking of, it was the year the Flyers won their first cup, 1974. A Sunday afternoon game on NBC.
Adda boy Knuckles, this is the guy we were waiting for
This was a great interview, as usual. We are getting spoiled. Can you bring Ken Dryden please?
Great interview with a true legend, one of my favs and what an amazing memory!!
Larry Robinson and Chris nilan man we could use these guys they were so great
One of the greatest defenseman ever. Such a pleasure to watch.
OMG... my number 1 Habs player of all time, and number 2 all at the same time. Thanks nuckles. You're the best.
My pleasure!
Great interview! Both Tim and Chris have polished their craft in such a short amount of time
Thanks so much Brendan, appreciate the kind words
BIG BIRD! 🐦
Larry’s finger pointing at a rude, foul mouth opponent was legendary.
Larry Big Bird Robinson is definitely one of my favourite players!!!
Super interview. Saw Larry play in Halifax and yes that were better then some NHL teams
Great stuff! Such fun to hear about! Thanks Chris!
Loved this one! Larry Robinson was/is a stud. Brings back great memories!
Thanks to you guys for bringing back the great memories of hockey the way it should be played 👍
I'll never forget Larry.....what a defenseman. not know as a fighter he destroyed the "Hammer" Schultz
He wasn't known as a fighter - because all the 'fighters' knew he was not to be messed with.
Excellent work by all involved in this project!!! Wow! Larry looks awesome, so relaxed and honest! Love, love, love it! Thank you 🙏🏽
One of the best podcasts out there. Love the guests and what they bring to the fans.
Thanks so much Jack
another great interview Larry liked a lot still remember the gary Dorhauffer hit when the boards broke what a hard hit. Thanks Chris and Tim
Great team. They could get brutal if you tried to bully them. They had speed finesse like in the 3-3 great game with Soviets.
My two favorite players. Chris and Larry
One of the highlights of my life was sitting with Larry in the Tampa airport for about 20 minutes.

A legend interviewing a legend
Thanks so much for the kind words
C'ÉTAIT TELLEMENT BON ! QUE DE SOUVENIRS DE VOUS VOIR TOUS LES 2 ! YOU ARE DOING A AMAZING JOB CHRIS WITH THIS PODCAST. BRAVO
I remember that hit on Gary Dornhoffer what a hit that was that hit broke the boards game was delayed to fix them
That was a great one Chris &Tim what an interesting and classy person and a great hockey player really enjoyed it when he played.
The Habs season 1976-77, they won 60 games, lost8 and had 12 ties in the regular season.
This was great interview. Knuckles asked great questions as usual. Larry is pretty funny. Had to know he would hate the iPads on the bench. Also love hearing Serge get his props as a favorite player.

Larry Robinson is the epitome of that dinasty

Nothing but class.
Another awesome podcast! Larry! What a memory you have !
It must have been nice to know that you were faster and tougher than everyone in the league! Larry!
❤ you larry
Always enjoyed your game!
Stay well Larry and Knuckles 👍
Best podcast!
Thanks David, appreciate it!
Love ❤ Larry! been a longtime Habs fan from the West Island and now on Vancouver Island
Stay well both of you 👍 ❤
Great stuff, just a wonderful show.
Larry Robinson was a great defenceman. He also represented Canada in the Canada Cups in 76, 81 and 84
This was one of the best yet! Big Bird is the best!
Another great episode with an NHL legend
Greatest defenseman of all time..
thanks Tim and Knucks!
Wow The best hockey Podcast out there! Thanks Knucks, Tim & Larry!
Thank you Darrell, appreciate that
Knuckles reading off Larry's career resume..........just mindblowing.
When I played in men’s leagues I used your stick. The blue Sher-Wood PMP 5030.
I also wore number 30.
Fun times. Thanks for the memories Knuckles.
I just recently subscribed to this channel and this is the 3rd interview ive watched so far. What makes this channel so much better than the other one that gets attention....you let the guest talk and tell their story. Its about them and im not hearing too many hosts voices and their memories of said player. THANK-YOU!!!
I tried other hockey podcasts...Spittin Chicklets, Cam and Strick and a couple others. None compare to this one. Love knuckles and his show, it's the only one that lets the guests speak without interruption. How is it there aren't hundreds of thousands subscribers??
Beautiful podcast. I was on the edge of my seat watching the chat between Larry and Chris, lot of history. Living in Ottawa I cycle by Marvelville / Marionville on my bicycle and cross Larry Robinson Rd and always get flash backs of my youth watching the Montreal Canadians. Thank you.
I forgot to say, I miss those sideburns.
Thanks Bruce, appreciate the kind words
Great interview with my childhood hero Larry. That famous Lambert OT goal against Boston was not the first goal Montreal scored. Larry blasted one into the net but it bounced out and was missed by the ref and goal judge.
I never knew that, interesting
@@NoHandle689xthat game they won 5 to 3 in OT...
I got to see Robinson play on a consistent basis towards the end of his career with the kings. He had lost some due to age, but you can still tell what a great talent he is!
Completely awesome interview here. I could listen to these two old farts blather onlike this for hours. Special to me, as Mr. Robinson is my favorite player and Knuckles is the second favorite. Great stories and insights.
Greatest checking line in the history of hockey,
Gainey-Carbonneau-Nilan
How nice to hear Larry say that his best friend is Rick Green.
In 86 playoffs in the first round when I saw Larry fight Sleigher- twice . I knew things were different.
I just found this channel and I'm positive a lot of guys I know don't know about it but I will bring them up to speed guaranteed. Two of my favorite guys I grew up idolizing throughout the 70 s and 80's as far as toughness Larry was certainly a force to be reckoned with but Chris Nilan oh man it was '' fuck around get knocked down '' a lot of people don't realize that Chris was quite capable of putting the puck in the net . The greatest era of hockey occupied by the greatest guys !! My boyhood heroes !
Holy cow, I REMEMBER THAT GOAL IN OVERTIME! Watched the game on an early sixties era black and white RCA. (My brother might still have that tv, crapped out in 71 right after the second last playoff game that year. Had to go watch the habs win the cup at my neighbor's house).
Kunks got the best hockey podcast on the go
My favourtie Hab ever! What a great interview. Larry tells a great story!
In the early 70s I was taking French language training in Halifax, met almost every one of the Voyageurs over 2 years: Lambert, Riesbrough, Leon Rochefort, Moe, Chartraw, etc. etc. Always kept track of the great guys I met on that team. Before the internet we would get our Habs' news via the Mt. Gazette, Mtl Star, LaPresse, etc. so every morning we would wait for the Mtl. bus to arrive with the papers...Red Fisher, Ted Blackman, Tim Burke, etc. I read it from Red Fisher the morning after Larry got called up. I worked in an office with a whole bunch of mouth-breathing Bruins and Leaf fans. Over the years of the dynastic 70s, they supplied me with more than enough to pay for my vacations. In the upset of '71, idiots were begging me to take their money at 10/1 odds. Made almost $6000 from loyal but intensely dumb Bruins fans on that upset series. That was almost $1000 more than many people's salaries that year!
Great Interview!!👍

Awesome! Just discovered the podcast! Loving it! Keep ‘em coming Chris!
Another great show!
Excellent interview, character plus in Larry Robinson #19
Larry Robinson the absolute greatest defencemen of all time Larry I wish you had some kind of coaching position for our young players,I've always loved how you'd follow through on him checks Pollo man 🤔😎
Larry the Legend , great podcast
