Bernie Corbett sits down with Hockey Hall of Famer Larry Robinson at the Legacy Club of Boston, across the street from TD Garden.

Big Bird grew up milking cows on a dairy farm in Winchester, Ontario, went 20th overall in the 1971 draft behind Guy Lafleur, and became the backbone of the Canadiens dynasty: six Stanley Cups as a player, the 1978 Conn Smythe, a plus-730 career, and four more Cups as a coach and consultant in New Jersey and St. Louis. Ten in all.

Larry talks about the hit that cracked the Forum boards, what made Ken Dryden and Guy Lafleur different, Scotty Bowman's magic number, the night he fought Dave Schultz, leaving Montreal for Los Angeles, the garbage can kick that turned the 2000 Final, the 2019 Blues, thirty years of polo, Lane Hutson, and how he wants to be remembered.
