Hey, Spittin' Chicklets listeners. You can find every episode on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. Me and Ryan have been officially welcomed to the jungle that is Barstool Sports. I brought it towards the Coyotes, and I asked them if it was okay if I joined the Spit and Chicklets podcast full-time. Ryan Whitney's got a pink Whitney out there now.

This is a standbagger. Get that on camera. It's a full-time member. Marley just got an assist from Chris Bates. Whoa, we're buzzing right now. Sonk. What is going on, folks? Welcome to episode 629. This is... Oh, is that Oshie? No, that's not Yoshi. That's Yoshi. That's not Yoshi. That's my mom's dog, Cosette, that is going nuts. This could be an issue, but I apologize, everyone. Cosette?

58.254 - 76.932

Last dog issue was not good, and Big Dan was there. No, she gave me a bully stick to give her if she starts barking. Cosette, I'm talking. You can't be yelling. I'm sorry, guys. Speaking of Cosette, look at these teeth. I'm more bothered by that name than the barking, to be honest. Cosette. That's such a bizarre name for a dog.

Chapter 2: What are the details surrounding Auston Matthews' injury?

77.433 - 99.554

No, I was like, what is Cosette? It better be like the street she grew up on. Give her some pink Whitney. She calls her like Cosette-y, confetti Cosette-y. Boys, I'm way, I'm way, this is not. You're on your heels. I'm on my heels right now. This is like you're back in moto. Well, speaking of minus three, those teeth right now, you're minus three teeth because you look. Cosette has better teeth.

0

99.574 - 122.706

Four, four teeth. Cosettes are better than yours is. I mean, that middle one that is just a little baby dolphin tooth is so soap. And then that little one, oh my God, you look like just a straight up homeless man. Crackhead. And let's quickly mention Pink Whitney. And we'll get into this amazing game Keith and I got to be a part of on Sunday night. Pinky's up, boys. Pinky's up.

Chapter 3: What are the key points from Mark Howe's interview?

122.726 - 141.765

There's Pink Whitney everywhere. I'm in Florida. I've been here since Thursday night. Been incredible. I was on the West Coast. Now I'm on the East Coast. Last night, Pink Whitney was representing at Lone Depot Stadium, I believe it was, where the Marlins play. That was host... of the United States of America versus the Dominican Republic. I saw Marlon's man crushing a few Pink Whitney's.

0

142.126 - 152.415

Yeah, yeah. So one guy came up to me, and he was a Dominican guy too, which was 80% Dominican fans, and just ripped up the little pink. I said, oh, you follow Spittin' Chickles, Pink Whitney, man, Pink Whitney, love hockey, love hockey.

0

152.395 - 179.753

pink whitney i said holy shit pinkies up and i taught him he didn't know pinkies up yet he doesn't listen to the pod i guess i mean he might just say he does but he doesn't listen because he doesn't know pinkies up so shout out pink whitney shout out everyone who loves drinking and shout out biz's teeth they just look that bad that only a pink whitney could make him feel better right now i should make uh new ones that are little the pink whitney nips and just put like maybe even like the caps the little caps on each of the tooth so what happened are the teeth

0

179.733 - 201.936

Oh, okay. So like here, here's my bridge. Okay. So like what happened is like, obviously from, from getting my fucking face caved in, cause I didn't listen enough to Dennis Bonvey as the ants told you last podcast and I'd get my shit pushed in. Um, and they had to eventually file a few of them down in order to make this bridge. And you could, on the one side, which ones did they file? What?

0

202.397 - 225.957

Which ones did they file down? You're a fucking idiot. Why didn't you just get the veneers? Cause, cause you have to like get the, like the drill metal implants and it takes a little bit of time. And I just like, I don't know. I just never really had the time. Right. So I'm going to be doing is so good guys. Oh my God. Why? It's just hearing you say, he's like, who else has a list?

227.067 - 247.477

I sound like I'm on StreamYard for my phone again when all the fans bitch about my list. But yeah, no, and the glue was just coming loose. And sure enough, after the broadcast last night, I was like playing around with it and boop, fell out. So I'm on the IR with no jibs for hopefully only a few days till I get back and somebody can glue these bad boys back in.

247.517 - 271.333

But kind of smells like, yeah, smells it. Oh, man. Yeah, dude, if you smell what's been glued into the top of your gums, I'm just guessing that Just smells like Houston's. Just a Houston salad. Hey, let me turn my air conditioning off. Give me two seconds. You guys can keep chatting. Okay, yeah, we'll keep chatting away. We'll keep chatting away.

271.473 - 291.135

Hey, does he have to go on TV again with his teeth like that? Did I just go the whole playoffs? Yeah. No jibs? He's like, Jack Hughes has gotten so much attention for the no teeth. I'm doing it now. Yeah, man, I'm sick and tired of this. I thought Tate McRae was a secret agent, but I'm going to rip my teeth out. Maybe I could take it. I have to update my Raya profile.

291.235 - 315.772

I can't be catfishing people, right? You got to be truly who you are and present yourself as they're going to meet you in public. So for all the ladies out there. You could just solely go body pics. Go see one East Coast League game and that's what you come back as? Yeah, okay. Oh, man. That was honestly one of the best. Buddy, that video you sent, describe the video. I mean, it was so good.

Chapter 4: How is the playoff structure discussed in this episode?

327.624 - 333.67

They lost 6-3 game one. Saturday, they lost 6-0 on Star Wars night.

0

333.65 - 361.885

I don't know how we'll have G look up how they did Sunday so they're playing a three and a two and a half if they gave up six again boys 18 against on the weekend you're there but I would go to war for these guys okay and and birdie the coach like legit legit if somebody would have ran one of them and it would have got chippy I would have dressed I would have thrown the gear on I might even fucking just come back next year and play in the coast just do the podcast no TNT and ride the bus and play in the coast

0

361.865 - 380.93

No offense because I love everybody at TNT, but I got the itch to go again after grabbing dinner post game. And losing your teeth. So we go, we went there. The reason I went back to partly is because the first time we went there, we did the sandbagger with Paige in the afternoon. You guys were obviously buckled. I was high on gummies.

0

381.47 - 399.183

And we got to the game like right around puck drop, watched it. And then we had to get out of there because, you know, we had other shit that we had to do. So we never really got to go down and meet the team, meet the coach. So- I wanted to go back on our behalf and say hi to the boys. And it just so worked out. We could do the silly birthday thing so I could meet the season ticket holders.

0

399.524 - 422.397

And boys, I'm going to tell you, they weren't dead last in the entire league, the Gargoyles. Hey, don't laugh. Well, it's funny because it's just, buddy, we are just chokes, man. But, hey, we're not going to be fucking last next year because we're going to bring in a few ringers. And they won. They won Sunday. Sorry. Four to one. Okay. Fucking right. Four to one. That's a big dub. Of course.

422.457 - 444.143

Right when you left, they got a W. I did leave, yeah. So I got to meet all the season ticket holders and give them birthday cake and just thank them for being season ticket holders. Buddy, every single person reinforced and was like, thank you guys so much for bringing hockey back to Greensboro.

444.203 - 463.563

They are, regardless of being in last place in the league, and even after the game when I met with the boys, they talked about the support they've been feeling from the fans. They were down. They got, they got lit up one game a few weeks ago at home. They were down four, nothing in the first period. Well, fucking normally you play for the Leafs. You're getting jerseys on the ice.

463.884 - 479.133

You're getting booed going off the ice. Like people are like, wait the fuck up. These fans are on their feet, cheering the boys on, like encouraging them. Hey, don't worry about it. You know, let's come out firing in the second period. Like even the players are like, man, it's like a crazy, I've never seen anything like it.

479.153 - 491.907

They're just so happy to have hockey back and they're so supportive and such good Southern hospitality. I was like blown away by not only just hearing that, but also getting to shake their hands and just seeing how excited they are. Like,

Chapter 5: What challenges did Gordie Howe face towards the end of his career?

5325.747 - 5351.08

Even his last year, I think the team, Harper came to him and they wanted him to retire. It was really hard on him. Like I say, you think about it. You played hockey all those years. I think getting out of the game was a little tough. I look at what Tom Brady did in his 40s and obviously on a different stage.

0

5351.06 - 5358.314

Um, but to me, what Gordie, how did it end at 52 and playing in the national hockey league is pretty amazing thing.

0

Chapter 6: Who were Gordie Howe's idols and influences in hockey?

5358.394 - 5372.8

This is a couple part question. Um, but the picture of, of Gordie with the stick around Wayne Gretzky's neck when he's, you know, eight years old or whatever it was like you mentioned Gordie, how it was everyone's idol. Did he ever mention who his idol was?

0

5373.281 - 5392.864

And granted, this is back so long ago, you can't even really watch NHL games, but was there somebody that he was growing up maybe in Saskatchewan that he looked up to or kind of taught him the ways to do everything that he ended up passing on? I don't recall. To me, I know he had a lot of friends. He was really good friends with Johnny Bauer.

0

5393.865 - 5399.153

I know a couple of summers we went up to Bobby Hall's ranch I did laugh.

0

Chapter 7: How did Mark Howe's career in the NHL begin after the WHA?

5399.333 - 5427.722

Dad always said he had so much respect for all the other players in the league. I kind of had a little side argument with him going, I watched you play against some of them. I'm not sure you respect them that much. But he, he did. He, he loved the camaraderie and being on the ice. And, uh, uh, but yeah, I think a lot of the guys that, uh, I think were from the West and he got to watch grow up.

0

5428.162 - 5443.98

I know he really admired Jack Adams when he, uh, when he first got to Detroit and, uh, um, but, uh, nah, he just, he grew up, uh, like I said, I think they were, uh, in the town of floral and they had five homes. And, uh, and that was it.

0

5444.2 - 5463.716

So they, um, you know, and they had, uh, nine kids in the family and, uh, and actually the first pair of skates dad ever got, I think it was about four or five and, uh, and they had no money at the time that it was in the depression. And some woman came by and she had a bag full of stuff. And, um, you know, she said, you know, do you have any money?

0

5463.757 - 5471.483

So I think my grandmother scraped together $2 and, uh, gave the woman $2. She gave her the bag. Inside that bag was a pair of skates.

0

5471.463 - 5496.179

and uh so my dad took one his sister helen took the other one i think about a month later dad finally wrestled it away and um that's that's when gordy became a hockey player and uh yeah are you kidding me yeah it's pretty neat stuff yeah what what was gordy like um in the room was he was he was he kind of talkative was he one of the or was he more quiet and just taking it all in Took it all in.

Chapter 8: What impact did Ed Snyder have on the Philadelphia Flyers?

5496.48 - 5522.277

So on the ice, uh, in the locker room, never, and never had anything to say. Um, he, his actions, his actions spoke volumes. So, uh, and like I said, he, uh, yeah, it's not, not very often that, uh, he had much to say. I know you guys would probably would have loved it. I know, uh, as a kid growing up and we'd be in the car, we'd be in Detroit heading down the lodge freeway and,

0

5522.257 - 5543.544

And the odd time dad would look at me and he'd say, well, keep an eye on so-and-so tonight. And it would be a player from the other team. And I, well, I'd be sitting in my seat in section seven and just be licking my chops. And I remember one night he said, oh, keep an eye on Keith Magnuson. I don't know what Keith Magnuson did, but Oh, my God. And I go to the game, and it's right near the end.

0

5543.564 - 5564.717

The Red Wings were not very good, and Chicago was beating them pretty bad this game. And Stan Mikita's taking the draw, and they get it to Magnuson in the defensive right corner, and Gordy's lined up on the slot. And Magnuson gets it, puts his head down. He's skating like this. He gets to the back of the net, and Gordy just fires his elbow. Boom. Nails right in the face.

0

5564.933 - 5586.716

And he's, and he's pretty well out on his feet. And then Gordy grabs him by the back of the head and he slams his face down on his knee. Oh yeah. Well, and he got two minutes for roughing and two minutes for elbowing. And, and so now we're in the car. I'm not saying boo. And we're about halfway home. And dad, look, all he said to me, look at me. He goes, Hey, did you see that?

0

5586.816 - 5609.655

I go, yeah, I saw it. Like I didn't see it, but yeah. Yeah. But he, yeah, he had the memory of an elephant and, uh, you know, God forbid, uh, cause I, I, I've seen a couple of guys that he, he had it all for. And, uh, I mean, if they're doing something really bad, then, um, yeah, they, they paid for it physically. And normally it was, uh, something in their face and,

5609.635 - 5630.759

But he, uh, now I'm, I laugh even so like Davey Key on one of the great player. I played with Davey in Hartford as well. And Davey was one of the cleanest. I had 104 penalty minutes in his career. He used to have his patent, a little hook check and Davey, we're having lunch one day and he said, yes, I remember first time I played your dad. He said, I come up, boom, hook the puck away from behind.

5630.799 - 5656.146

It took off and. David came to the bench and all the players said, oh, better watch out. He goes, hey, I've watched Hockey Night in Canada. He goes, I know not to hit Gordy. He said, no, Gordy just doesn't like it when you take the puck from him. And so then it happened again. And all the players, now Davey comes to sit on the bench and all the players kind of whoop, they spread out.

5656.206 - 5679.94

Davey's kind of sitting on an Island and they're saying, and then he's going, what are you doing? He goes, we don't know how, we don't know when, but you're going to pay for what you just did. It could be in 1970. Oh yeah. And so, uh, I guess we had later in the period, I guess, uh, uh, Davey goes to do it a third time with dad had a real short stick.

5679.987 - 5700.361

But like, and even though he went through grade eight at school, pretty smart individual. He said, well, he took a stick and then moved his hands forward and put the puck maybe a foot farther in front of him. So now Davey had to reach longer. So now he's going like this. What exposes his chin. Gordy takes his right hand off and just rifles it.
