Infamous gangster Whitey Bulger and former NHL player Chris Nilan once had a very interesting conversation.

Nilan married Bulger’s stepdaughter Karen in 1981, and one night before a big date, he had a conversation with the former NHL player about expectations. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

While holding a gun, the famous organized crime figure, who was murdered in prison, informed the former Montreal Canadiens about never pursuing Karen if she decided to leave. Watch Nilan break it all down below during an interview on “Spittin’ Chiclets.”

I feel like the average dad who pulls the gun stunt obviously doesn’t mean it at all. Dads aren’t killers. No daughter would speak to their dad if they were killing their potential love interests.

However, Whitey Bulger wasn’t your average criminal. He was one of the most dangerous and infamous gangster leaders of the past 100 years.

After many years on the run, Bulger was eventually captured and convicted on multiple charges, including having been involved in murders.

He wasn’t someone you wanted to mess with at all. When a guy like that pulls a gun on you, you’ve got a major problem on your hands.

Of course, Bulger eventually ironed it all out with Nilans by handing him a ton of cash. What a wild story and what a wild guy!
