Chapter 1: What is discussed at the start of this section?
Me and Ryan have been officially welcomed to the jungle that is Bosco Sports.
I brought it toward the coyotes and I asked them if it was okay if I joined the Spit Chicklets podcast full time. Ryan Whitney, you got a pink Whitney out there now. Get that on camera.
It's a full time member. Marley just got an assist from Chris B. Whoa, we're buzzing right now. Sonk. What is up, folks? Welcome to episode 634 of the Spit Chickens Podcast. Oh, Biz, that's a really dirty pinkies up. Don't even check that out if you're only listening to audio. Pinkies up. Shout out. Pinkies in. Myself and Yant in Brooksville, Florida at Cabot Citrus.
We're going to be playing some golf the next couple of days. I know, Biz, you're in Atlanta, correct? Sounds like a plantation or something. I think it used to be a big old orange farm. Orange tree farm.
orange groves okay so that's what it's called it's called the grove based on the logo there's oranges everywhere i mean i walked in they left a sign spitting chicklets welcome spitting chicklets a hat for me and keith i'm rocking it right here shout out cabbage and the pinkies up and a big old pinkies up right a big old bottle and shot of pinkies up so shout out Pink Whitney, shout out you guys.
Everyone listening, thank you. I think the NHL is scripted. It's complete just entertainment value through the roof right now. We got on ice stories. We got off ice stories. Biz, I did have a question for you because the other day you woke up and you were firing off text to us. I loved it. So it was 8 in the morning for me and then I started thinking he's still in Scottsdale. So 5 a.m.
So you're like that David Dobbins guy. Is that the guy's name? Goggins, are you setting alarms or are you just waking up at like 4.45, 5?
Sometimes my circadian rhythm's out of whack. Like even last night I woke up at like 4.30. What's the cup for, Yance? No, I was just doing pinkies up for that big word for you. Pinkies up for a great vocab. Oh, okay. Well, I'm getting pinkies up for fucking my wordplay now. Like I'm Eminem or something. Uh, but nobody, I, I'm honestly just so fired up over this wildcard race.
Like normally this is kind of like the, all right, let's get things going. And as much as I want to start playoffs, like I'm like perplexed. Another big word for you. Pinkies up a couple, couple syllables. Not a big deal down the hatchet. Um, both the West and East coast wildcard races are unbelievable. And it looks as if though, after that huge win last night against Dallas, uh,

Chapter 2: What updates are shared about the NHL playoffs?
like two and a half years ago, maybe three years ago, and I went to put one on the other day, and I can't even button it. And it's just been slowly, I guess, where I haven't noticed it, but it was a shocking and just disgusting moment. I put this suit on that I remember wearing I don't know, a year and a half ago at least, and it fit great, and I can't button it.
So there's some big issues in my life, and I'll have my own tits.
Should we do like a team fast, maybe even before G's wedding? Maybe we go like a five-day fast. Have you ever done a five-day fast?
I've done three days. I couldn't do five minutes. I just love eating. I love watching hockey and eating and playing golf. I don't want to sacrifice my eating.
You should do what the girls do then. Buy bigger suits.
I'm not doing Ozempic.
No, not Ozempic. They get the lymphatic drainage. Before they hit the red carpet to fit in all those fancy dresses. I turned into a savant. You're a thesaurus. Going back to the Toronto. Your shitty team. They'd be playing. Buffalo would be playing Boston if it started right now. Is that what you asked earlier? Are you sure? Well, hey, you got to think, though, man.
If Boston keeps pushing until the end of the season, there is a possibility they do catch Montreal. And we're bumping Montreal. As good as Montreal is playing and as good as Cole Caulfield is, 47 tucks now for Mr. Saturday Night. But I digress, because I was attacking Ottawa Senators fans as much as I would like to see another team from Canada make playoffs.
You know that when bad things happen to us, Ottawa fans are all over our nuts. So just like they were chirping us about not making playoffs, firing our GM, cleaning house, essentially, we did keep our six assistant GMs, thankfully for my boy Donor, because I love Donor. But I also love Tree Boys, and this sucks, and I think that he hired one coach. It was Berube, right?

Chapter 3: What are the key points about the Bruins' playoff performance?
I guess for the Ducks, it was a big game. But for the core and I guess the Toronto Maple Leafs pride, it was a big game. All of a sudden, the news breaks that Tree Living's fired. And it's just been such odd timing to me because I don't get why. Maybe they didn't know they were going to do this.
But what changed like in the last month, two months where now it was like it has to be done now as opposed to the end of the year. And we decide we're going to let tree run the deadline. Do you agree with that?
Yeah, I don't know. And like it could be as silly as like they did it right before the game against Anaheim. So like there was something else to talk about. Like.
over the news cycle like again you give me that look but that's the only explanation i have i don't know why they would literally do it like right around that time so i i don't know i will say though like as much as you want to blame tree like listen i think that chief is obviously an incredible coach he was incredible player he has so much respect um i would i
I would love to chat with him like off record, just to be like, you know, what did you think of, of the coaching job? And, you know, I know that they lost Marner and that was a big loss for him. And I know that he was a big Marner guy. I thought the way that he distributed the ice time and the way that he, he like, uh, I guess the lack of empowering other guys, he held these scratch Michelli.
How many times like Robertson, like never really got a fair shake. Bobby McMahon, like, like you're telling me that guy couldn't play in a consistent top six, like 18 minutes a game. Look what he's doing in fucking look what he's doing in Seattle. I think he had more. I think he's had more breakaways in Seattle. Every time I look at a goddamn clip, the guy's getting a breakaway goal.
So he's had more breakaways there in the three, four weeks he's been there than he had maybe his whole time in Toronto. Never played three-on-three overtime, never like ā I think that there could have been a lot of different situations as far as the way that players were played. They also dealt with their fair share of injuries.
This year was a brutal year, a forgettable year for William Nylander, in my opinion, as good as maybe as it started out. You think?
Yeah.

Chapter 4: What are the implications of the latest NHL trades?
It's just like, oh, man, I... I know you mentioned him, and I was just thinking, as I think you said, it was a little bit of an off year.
It was a bad year. He starts to scrum after, considering it's that type of game, and we're well aware of what needs to happen in the game against Anaheim to kind of make up for lost time on the lack of response for Austin Matthews being done for the season. And that's kind of the effort they get. Like, I mean, I was also there in St. Louis the other night. He was not very good.
And he was fucking the dog a little bit. And I think he was asked about it. And he basically said, like, you know, I have my fair share of comments, but I'm going to keep them to myself. It's like, bro, what the fuck? What the fuck? Save him for my YouTube channel. Yeah, he's saving him for... Exactly. Exactly. Like, hey, man, like, I've had...
nothing but respect and happy with William's perform. Well, uh, Neil Anders performance up until this year, I just think that this year is a big time wash. And if he's not, if he's not leaving this season and saying, I need to take a big long look in the mirror and he's more pointing the finger, like all this, all that.
It's like, that to me is everything I need to hear in order to say, send me a package and we'll, we'll, we'll, and, and tell me, tell me the teams right down the teams that you want to go to. And we'll see if we can make something work.
But ultimately, as I think Kipper said the same thing, I think O-Dog said the same thing, this rebuild basically depends on what Austin Matthews is going to say this offseason. If he goes in there and he's like, yeah, I appreciate my time here and I've done everything in my power in order to change it and get over the hump. I want to play for Ottawa.
What?
The true team in Ontario. Hey, so if Austin Matthews did leave and the team would essentially be William Nylanders, how are you feeling as a Toronto Maple Leafs fan? No, I just said... He traded him already. He's gone. So both of them, you would get rid of both of them. If I was GM...
And he wanted to wear a fucking tank top or his bullshit outfits moving forward in that hallway coming into the rink. We're fighting it. We're closing the doors and we're scrapping. And then whoever makes it out alive, if he makes it out alive, he can dress. If he doesn't, right back to your fucking house, put a black suit on with a black tie and a white shirt.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of coaching changes in the NHL?
What do you think he got? A million bucks?
Really? Wow. Beautiful. Hey, that's a good number, right? Yeah. Hell yeah.
And by the way, if Torts, if they go on a run here.
He's not coming for $67,000. He's coming for $80,000.
We're going to give you a free room. We're going to put you in old Vegas.
He's not taking a pay cut. I'm sure he is pretty good.

Chapter 6: How does the recent playoff race affect team dynamics?
He's not taking a pay cut to go coach Vegas. You know what I mean? Because he sacrificed our money. Yeah. Offset. Although Vegas gets the offset, right? Whatever. I don't know how that coaching money, TV money offset thing works, right? Yeah, you cover the rest. He's got to wear a headset the whole game. Is TNT paying Tocket's salary in Philly? Is that how that worked?
I don't know. I think they're chipping in, yeah. Him and Wayne.
Chapter 7: What are the key factors in the upcoming Frozen Four matchups?
TNT and Wayne. Bucci, going back to Edmonton, there's been some questions about Leon, when he's going to come back, if he's going to be back for first round. It was kind of in the gray area, his quotes, right? Have you heard anything on him, and do you expect him to be back for first round?
Well, you go to Germany and get some of that blood plasma and those vitamins, he's going to come back probably 6'6". 250. The old OV trips to Russia. Remember we used to go home. Yeah. Just ever since only got on that camel at Dubai, he hasn't stopped scoring goals at age 40. So maybe, yeah, maybe Leon got on a camel as well. Maybe he went to Dubai, but have not heard the no whispers.
So, uh, I think everyone just kind of maybe just, Hey, take, you know, take the month, whether it's a, maybe obviously it's something to probably need surgery, right? Whatever it is. I don't know. Maybe he had this or if it's an MCL, was it a tear? I don't know. Um,
something but whatever it happened to cry maybe Sid's gonna have to still have offseason surgery I don't know or maybe it's all healed up but I don't know about Leon you have not heard and but it's that Edmonton there's nothing like that team they they just like kind of like biz turn it off and come back you know same that's what they do they're like biz with the microphone and back when he was a player and wheeling I think a lot of the people would hope I just didn't come back get out come back just get out and come back
Again, another Edmonton question.

Chapter 8: How do personal stories influence hockey culture?
You think if Boosh didn't have that 10-game stretch that he had this year, that it was laugh out loud, funny hockey, that he would be... And it started the year, too. It was the beginning of the year. Bacardi Boosh. Do you think he'd be the frontrunner for the Norris right now?
I don't know if it'd be the front runner because it is such a stigma the poor guy has, especially when, you know, Ferraro absolutely deep fried him on national television that game on the island. Oh, that was the worst one. The old air fryer. Just cover Crisco all over him and shove him in the air fryer. That's what Ferraro did to Bouchard.
But no, I mean, I had him on my Olympic team every time we did little rosters. You know, me, Frank, Frank Cervalli on our little stream cast, it was like, Why isn't this guy on the team? He's clearly a right-handed shot, playoff guy who can absolutely, you know, magician back there. So, you know, but obviously that shows you what Team Canada felt about him.
That's the stigma that he has that Team Canada didn't have on the roster over, you know, Colton Pareko had zero goals entering the Olympics. You know, zero.
Well, I do want to say, like, Ekholm talking about Bouchard, granted, this is a teammate, but I watched the Oilers games. He says he's an unbelievable hockey player. He's taking steps every year. I don't think anyone should disagree. He's a top five defenseman in the NHL. He has a complete game. It's not just his shot. It's his breakout passes. He plays in the PK.
He finds guys in stride with perfect passes out of the zone. He defensively is way better than people think. It's just like you said, the occasional clip where you're like, oh, my God, he's up on the Pink Whitney. Exactly. And you know what?
You know who he is. He just kind of dawned on me. He's Sam Darnold. Right? Like, Bouchard is famed amazingly talented, you know, big high first pick of the draft, goes to these places, has these moments that are just... Because everyone makes mistakes. McCart gets beaten a lot defensively. He's out there a lot. You're going to get beaten. Wierenski got beat last night a couple times.
It's going to happen. It's hockey. It's hard. Like a cornerback, you know? So... Playing defense and playing cornerback, it's impossible. I don't know how they do it. How do you possibly defend going backwards when you don't know what the other guy is going to do at a high speed? But like Sam Darnold, you know, he just kept showing up.
And then eventually he finds the right coach that finds the right place. And now here he is the Super Bowl champion. So he's got a little Darnold in him where his mistakes, like you said, are just so theatrically bad and entertaining. Um, but yeah, no, I'm going to have to, again, I've, I got the Norris trophy vote, so I need to go in and dig deep.
