Oh Man, Geoff, no shame in that. In the infantry I played on one of the top teams in Western Canada (91-94) and was the 16th forward on a three line team LOL
Very good interview guys ! 👍🏼
Excellent interview. Can you get Subban on? Well deserved being made an ambassador.
Great interview gentlemen!!! Go Habs Go!!!
Nilan can get the big boys huh. Raw knucks great show. Good work as well Timmy.
Really great podcast providing great insight into the 7th floor of the Bell Center and insight into the man.
Ownership is all in and doing things right. Love the new path.
Whoa, great interview! Keep up the amazing work! 💪
I've been a HABS fan since the 1st game I saw in 1963. I was 10 at the time and my parents were returning to Canada after about 5 years of serving the country in Germany. It was in April and I watched a real hockey game on a TV in English. I decided then to pick the winner and that would be my team. The HABS was playing the Maple Leafs in Toronto which Montreal won. The only player on the ice I remember was Bobby Rousseau, who during the game climbed over the boards and was fighting Leaf fans as he worked his way up the crowd. My name was Bobby and since he had the same name and the Habs won it was a no brainer. Regardless I like that you were on the podcast and I feel the Habs are finally in good hands.
Spent the entire time at the gym listening to this interview. Habs are in good hands. Keep them coming Knuckles! Hooah! 🇺🇲
Fantastic episode!
Tsn 690 gone under since you left keep up the amazing work
Big DOUBT on what he said about how the rebuild started in 2017. It started before we traded for Suzuki, our first rebuild asset, but that wasn't because Molson decided so lol
Just great stuff, Thanks!
Great interview, not only is he a top notch owner he’s a genuinely top notch person too
What a super show this was! I loved it, including the tough questions!
Wow Geoff Molson this is HUGE!
I'm not even a Habs fan BUT, I truly enjoy watching your podcasts Chris. You are very intelligent person and a great interviewer!
Glad to see this one. That open bench comments at the end, brings back memories Thanks .
What a great "bar down" interview. You asked all the questions we wanted to ask, Knuckles. You can tell that all your interviewees enjoy speaking with you. Knuckles rising!
This was TIm's best performance 👏
Great show boys like you said knuckles transparency it was great to here from the top brass.
Ps god I love that kid Xhekaj it’s about time cheers 🍻
Knuckles you do a great job with interviews and getting players to feel at home and open up honestly. Keep up just the wonderful work. Your partner is great too. Simply wonderful content
Gotta say love Molson in this interview.. he is the owner and he at the end of the day makes the final decisions but he’s been accountable for some of the mistakes. And seems to embrace the new direction the Habs are going in. And that’s what you want. An owner who owns one of the top most profitable teams in the league and wants to see them just be successful. Knowing there was a tonne of flaws in the previous collective team. And hopefully with time he feels even more confident that the team will succeed and move forward.
That was awesome 👌 👏 👍 Chris and Tim , and Geoff was awesome . Very open and I m glad the Molson have the team. And so proud that he moved to being transparent with he fans , and stopped listening to the local , and political pressures in Quebec. It was long over due to change coarse and go against the grain which is how you win . 🏆
Knuckles, please ask molson to send out molson export to BC!! I’ve been craving export since I moved to BC 6 years ago!! He needs to capitalize on the heavy amount of alcoholics out here!! I’d be willing to purchase!
I imagine Geoff, would hope they get their own superstar other than mcdavid with this rebuild which I think he admitted is presently ongoing right now. Habs need top end talent!!! Habs 100% need to be in the runnings for bedard. Been a long time coming for the Habs and more than deserved for luck when it comes to draft lottery. Habs are a money maker for the league. Any potential superstar added to the Habs would be insanely welcomed and embraced for a franchise that has been craving a superstar for decades
Why not ensure that all the comments made in French are translated into English in real-time? Do not treat the 20%(TBH I believe it to be higher) of fans with less respect. I have many suggestions/solutions for the betterment of your organization if you would like to hear them. I am not looking for any form of compensation. thanks GHG Wilfrid Malllette
Great interview Chris, had the Pleasure of meeting Geoff on the patio outside the Bell Centre in 2011. He recognized me the second time and had brief chats both times. Very pleased the team is Back in the Family's Hands. !!!
You're the best interviewer in hockey Chris. We love ya man. Go Habs Go.
MOLSON ROCKS
*clap *clap *clap
The team is only now recovering from the Corey/Houle era. Lots of mismanagement over the decades. Thank goodness things are finally looking positive. HuGo looking like the real deal. But I felt the same about Bergy. Knucks should have asked him why Timmins was around through so many owners and GMs. Was a huge mistake. Thankfully looks like he left us with some nice pieces. But, his tenure in Montreal was disastrous. Habs brass were negligent in keeping him soo long with such poor results.
When a man such as yourself Chris along with your team can bring in the people you do, who needs anything else. Other sports shows could never, ever, get the kind of interviews you do! I am in awe of what you’ve accomplished so far and cannot wait to see who else you bring in! Thank you very much for providing us with the content you do!
another great interview and a great guest thankls you three 🙂 most appreciated this
Outstanding Knucks 👏 you have the best interviews on this channel.
Thanks guys, GHG ! 🏒
Fuck Geoff Molson. Dude stabbed Carey in the back.
Excellent interview. GHG
What a Great Interview!!! Thank you Knuckles!! You are the best at this!! All respect to you my man!!
Makes more sense now as he went through his own growing pains as a owner with MB and now you can see he learned from his mistakes and has hired the best. Being the owner of the Habs is not an easy job and the pressure. I'm just happy he went with a rebuild and chose HuGo because its the only way to get a superstar that MTL fans have been waiting for not named Price which we miss a lot.
Wow. Great stuff!!!!!! What a cool bunch of guys
Great interview!
the guys camera on the far right shaking whenever he leans on his desk or laughs is so annoying
Awesome to get the chance to peek behind the curtains of the organisation. Thanks for doing this, I really appreciated this podcast.
Chris &Tim another show and a wonderful quest a real class person
Going to be honest here Chris, you shouldn’t have mentioned that chat you had with Gorton about who they were going to draft… “getting bigger”… you kind of threw him under the bus… good job with all these guests though… awesome work.
