The Last Gladiators
The movie looks like it's going to focus a lot on Nilan.

Just watched this. I thought it was well done. Basically a documentary focusing on Chris Nilan. lots of interviews with former teammates and Nilan. It also brings in other fighter/tough guys as they describe Nilan's role as an enforcer. Nilan is very candid throughout. He called Mike O'Connell one of the biggest pu55ies to ever play the game haha.Twist, McSorley, Brashear, Ewen Probert etc all make appearances. Follows him through his days as a young kid in West Roxbury all the way throughout his NHL career. He discusses his drug addiction problems after his career as well. His family and friends also give their thoughts about his career and his substance abuse problems.

Excellent work. I'd love to see more of these about former enforcers.
