Those are the questions answered in this Hockey Inside/Out Bonus episode as former Canadiens teammates and 1986 Stanley Cup champions Chris Nilan and Rick Green join The Gazette’s Stu Cowan.
Nilan and Green also share their personal experiences of being benched as players and then having to bench other players when they became coaches after hanging up their skates.
