Who gave former Canadien Chris Nilan his nickname Knuckles?

How did current Habs defenceman Mike Matheson get the nickname Billy?

Those questions are answered in this Hockey Inside/Out bonus episode as The Gazette’s Stu Cowan is joined by Nilan and Rick Green, who were teammates when the Canadiens won the Stanley Cup in 1986.

Nilan and Green share some of their other favourite hockey nicknames and explain how their former teammates got them.
