Thanks men. A couple of points:
1. How do you guys think he did here? He very much held his own. He lost one badly but won a couple as well. Playfair was dominant at this time beating Kluzak, O'reilly. and many others. Once again Nilan found a way to get it done. Nilan lost early in his career to Jonathan, Secord and Oreilly pretty decisively. After the first year once he got established he did not lose too many in clear cut fashion...He lost to Wilson,
Barry Beck, and not many more until he hung on to long and
jim McKenzie really beat him soundly when Nilan became a Bruin but he was all done at that point. Nilan very much held his own here but his style points were not good.
2. When Nilan was at Northeastern College (where he got drafted from) he was a real instigator on the ice of course and one game somebody from the crowd threw something at him. Nilans father went over anbd started punching the guy who threw it. Like father like son I guess.
3. 2,5,10 once said that Playfair owned Nilan in a big way and Nilan never beat him. As we can see this was totally not true. 2,5,10 is full of it at times to promote his favorite players and teams.
Thanks
