@@mattfrancis6046Oh they did ,Jonathan for the most part did his best to avoid Robinson. But when he got decked too many times against the the boards frustration kicked in , and away they went. The result those in the know , know and those not in the know don't know ....
I remember the hit. The Canadians had the game in hand, and it was late in the third. Besides, Milbury was run by Chartraw on the previous shift, or his next shift after this altercation. Mad Mike was a tremendous defenseman, while this was his rookie season (game 1 of the 77 finals). He rarely made defensive mistakes; and while thinking defense first was not averse to making occasional rushes. These he seemed to do when someone else was backing him up. A very smart player. As I said, there were actually two incidents and they were late in the game. My guess is - Bowman called for the blatant runs at Milbury (Chartraw’s was perhaps more egregious), in order to send a message to the rookie, thereby in hopes of getting him off of game 2, and the rest of the series. One has to love O’Reilly! The consummate team leader.
Your thesis may be correct. But it ain’t IMO. Bowman was meaner with his own players more than the opposition. Boston was Boston. Tough, good and hard to play against. Still got beat. Eat it. Life
Your recollection is tainted by time and bias. Milbury was a dirty player who went after players, like Lafleur, Shutt and Lemaire, who were better known for their finesse than pugilistic skills. Milbury had it coming.
Don't kid yourself, these Canadiens were a big bullying team, lots of good scrappers. This might have been a preview for the Jonathan Bouchard legendary fistfight.
It was back in the '75 pre-season when they pounded the Broad STREET Bullies at their own game and left them mentally broken. It may have only been a pre-season game, but that was the night the Canadiens unofficially won the Stanley Cup and launched their 1970s dynasty.
@@FischerFan You're so right. It's on youtube somewhere and its the first time I saw fear in Schultz's face when Larry Robinson grabbed him by the jersey and started beating the piss out of him.
@@joeblo5804 That was probably from the February 1974 battle royal at the Montreal Forum. Schultz, by his own admission, was not a tough player. He got into some scraps during his time in the ECHL and happened to fare well. That's how fighting became his signature. There was a short list of players who gave him all he could handle in the fisticuffs department, specifically Robinson, Clark Gillies, and Garry Howatt. That afternoon in 1976 when the Canadiens launched their Stanley Cup dynasty also proved to be Schultz's last game as a member of the Flyers. He became a journeyman and would be out of the NHL altogether before the Canadiens saw their disco-era dynasty ended.
Don't kid yourselves, since when does Johnathan hold people in a head lock while fighting? He had a good hold on Robinson and didn't want to let go for good reasons.
For those who don't know it , Johnathan got decked by Robinson in 78 with one upper cut .Down went Johnathan and straight to the dressing room and Robinson to the penalty box enough said.......
@@tedosmond413 Robinson fought O'Reilley at least twice and crushed him both times. The Bruins in the 70s were no match for the Habs in scoring, goaltending, fighting or winning the Cup. Unconvinced? Just ask Sinden, Cherry, Orr, Esposito, Bucyk, Park, Cheevers, Gilbert and your mother.
@@MrDuojet "Robinson fought O'Reilley at least twice and crushed him both times. ". Any video of this? Please hurry I am holding my breath....And why would I ask my mother about hockey?
These were the golden years of Bruins and Habs . Great hockey and players.
Wow! That brought back memories I forgot!
never saw this clip before, thx
Wish this was longer. Jonathan dragged Robinson around, in a headlock for a couple of minutes, I seem to remember.
Sorry those years are gone , but I have the memories
Marvelous marv albert and the stemmer pete stemkowski ,they just sound great.
That was some good old fashion rough house hockey. Good rival's Beantown/ Habs. Too many team's now rival's not so much anymore?
Cheevers always acted like peacemaker but was instigator who started things but never finished
Lil Jonathan putting a stranglehold on big Larry keeping him outta the fracas
These days were best
Marv albert wow...love it.
Luv it !
This is the second of 4 altercations between Jonathan and Robinson - only one actual fight, though. That took place late in the 77-78 season.
I’m quite sure the never fought.

They did fight, the following season, at the Montreal Forum. Nothing much, wrestling, Robinson lands a punch, they fall, it's over.@@tonypacheco2318

Jonathan knew full well , if he let go of the hold and fight Robinson in a fair and square manner he'd get his ass kicked...
@@tonypacheco2318 yeah sure....
Big Bird would have destroyed Jonathan if he let go.

Another fine mess Stanley got into, but unlike others, Stan's holding on to dear life 😮!!!
LOL. Didn't do a bad job of it, did he? Had good ol' Larry in a tight necktie.
@@laudace1764 He was hanging on for his life. Stan was pretty tough, but Larry would have slaughtered him.
@@Krusty-kl5ej zzzzzzzzzz.....
Marv Albert?
I cant believe they gave Marchand a 5 game suspension for that. He wasnt even born yet.
His nose was born first. 😂
What a embarrassment for Big Bird being dominated by Stanley in front of the home crowd LMAO
dominated? HAHAHA!!!
@@brucemorton7787 held in a headlock, bent over for 2-3 minutes...yeah that is domination

@@sid7088 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
reading the comments on here about jonathan vs robinson is freaking hysterical. 🤣 most of the comments are made by complete idiots on both sides😂
Robinson calmed down real quick when Jonathan grab him
Yeah ok. Jonathan is Hanging on for dear life begging for the refs to come in and save him.
@@billsharp9839 lol...sure
@@billsharp9839 yeah that's how he fights ask Pierre Bouchard
If Jonathan was up against a nobody , he'd let go of the hold and act like a legitimate tough guy...but he didn't cause he'd get his ass kicked....
LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO, if Jonathan didn't hold on for dear life, Robinson would have pummeled him in 5 seconds, then kick O Reilly butt in 10 seconds
Haha! Awesome hit! Millbury was an idiot.
Big Bird was lucky the Pitbull wasn’t swinging or it’s lights out. 🐦 💤
If Stan let his head go to swing, Big Bird would have slaughtered him.
@@Krusty-kl5ej lol...yeah it was the next game that he went after him....or maybe never
What was funny was Stan Johnathan hanging on for dear life against Robinson! He knew if he let go he would get his face rearranged! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
not likely....zzzzzzzzzzzz
I bet Bouchard wishes he stopped fighting with Bruins here....not may 21, 1978
Johnathan would have dropped him like a bad habit!! He destroyed Bouchard and would have done the same to robinson
Puhleeze. Robinson would have crushed him like he did with Milbury, O'Reilley... Johnathan was holding Robinson in a headlock for a reason.
