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, you got a pink Whitney out there now.

What is up, folks? Quack! Welcome to episode 643 of the Spittin' Chicklets podcast presented by Pink Whitney. Pinky's up. You see us doing it. You see people everywhere doing it. And if you haven't, you're not looking hard enough. Because Pink Whitney's everywhere. It was at the Derby. It was in the playoffs.

64.932 - 83.015 Whit

I saw a guy in Anaheim who sent me a picture of him crushing a Pink Whitney shot before the game and then said, now I'm going to crush your team. I guess he's on the team, but I act like I'm on the team. So all's fair in love and war. Shout out Pink Whitney. Shout out New Amsterdam. And let's go Pinkies up everywhere. Please send me your pictures of Pinkies up.

83.035 - 90.585 Whit

Even you old guys, you 83-year-old Buffalo Sabres fans that made life so much easier for me when it could have been horrible after the slow chug.

90.565 - 95.639 Unknown

No, ma'am. I'm good. Quack. Quack. I'm good. Come back in a few hours. Thank you.

96.641 - 98.245 Whit

They always come at the worst times.

Chapter 2: What are the highlights of the Kentucky Derby mentioned?

337.043 - 345.33 Whit

No, I knew they'd get him going, like, time to really go. But I didn't know if the horse is so smart. It's like, all right, I'm going to pass this guy around the right, pass this guy around the left.

0

345.31 - 352.717 Unknown

I think it's like a team effort. Okay. I would assume that you just tug a little bit on this side. Just a quick tug.

0

352.977 - 353.698 Keith

A little blinker.

0

353.998 - 355.459 Unknown

Or kind of give him the fish hook.

0

355.479 - 357.261 Whit

Just a quick time massage for biz.

357.521 - 375.317 Keith

The horse is all horse. I mean, they're like hockey players. Some guys like to play in the mix, like in the middle and the shit. Some guys like to be on the perimeter, on the outside. Some guys like to be on the wall. Every horse is different. And then you have to get the right jockey to know what that horse likes because sometimes they've never rode in them.

375.297 - 392.802 Keith

before yeah well it's an electric it's we're actually not going to talk about playoff hockey we're just going to get into the horse at the party that i'm at this one guy comes in he's all decked out at glasses on looked like he knew what he was talking about he's like He's like, hey, I forget the name of the horse, but he was 50 to 1.

392.842 - 414.627 Keith

He was like, hey, that horse right there, I'm telling you right now, he's either going to win place or show, put some money on him. So I put some money on him. He's the horse that never made it into the thing. No, the one that bucked the guy? Bucked the guy. So as I see this going on, there's like 200 people at this party. I'm running around looking for this guy, just trying to give it to him.

414.647 - 418.493 Keith

He's nowhere to be found. He must have left it. You have to.

Chapter 3: How does the conversation shift to the first round of the playoffs?

1505.931 - 1524.166 Unknown

He was saying, like, he's like, you can't pay for these reps for these young guys. Like, this is it, man. You're going into... against a former team that's won two Stanley Cups with all the legends across the ice. It's like, this is why you play. And also, not to make excuses for them, I believe they had travel issues as well.

0

1524.307 - 1544.485 Unknown

So maybe a reason, I don't think they got in until really late the day before. And then there was something going on with either weather or travel. So maybe they that's why they didn't look like they have their jump like in other games, because you go back to the game before the zero zero going into OT. That was one of the most entertaining no scoring games I've ever seen.

0

1544.465 - 1546.387 Unknown

Like it was, that was a hell.

0

1546.427 - 1547.288 Whit

That was incredible.

0

1547.348 - 1547.969 Unknown

It was unreal.

1548.249 - 1558.601 Whit

That reminded me of the, uh, lightning Bruins, 2011 game seven conference final where it's zero, zero, but it's one of the best hockey games I've ever seen. That was incredible.

1558.901 - 1573.678 Unknown

Oh yeah. The crowd was into it. The bell center was going crazy. But, uh, I mean, as far as the players that obviously starts with Dolbush, um, it was pretty cool to talk to him post game and hear how, uh, a Kucharov was like in his ear being like, you're nervous, you're nervous. Uh,

1573.658 - 1592.239 Unknown

This kid just is, even after game seven, he was just like, no, he was just telling me like, you look nervous, but I wasn't nervous. And like, it was pretty sick to see like how much confidence he has and the way that he handles the puck. Like, I didn't realize how good he was at handling the puck, which I think calm things down a little bit early for them.

1592.579 - 1595.683 Unknown

And obviously, as you guys have mentioned, being defensive in the NHL.

Chapter 4: What insights are shared about the Edmonton Oilers' performance?

1661.67 - 1666.375 Unknown

And then – I mean, fuck, what else can we talk about here?

0

1666.415 - 1689.349 Whit

Well, we could talk about – Keith brought up Matheson. In the third period, they already had the lead. I think he had Kucherov all over him. He wheeled the net, made an incredible breakout pass under pressure, and then later at the end of the period, broke up two plays. Perfect stick positioning. Remember those plays coming over the blue line? They went right out of the zone. He was awesome.

0

1689.79 - 1693.154 Whit

Dobson's back in. I mean, he's got a pin in his thumb or whatever it is.

0

1693.255 - 1703.389 Unknown

He made a pretty good play on the two-on-one where he slid and poked it away, too. I think that was in the second period. I was surprised to see Arbor Jack guy come out of the lineup, too. Same here.

0

1703.409 - 1706.352 Whit

And he needs to go in against Buffalo with the size of their forwards.

1706.393 - 1726.179 Unknown

He looked good. A hundred percent. I thought he looked awesome. He's not taking like, I think the knock on him before was he took too many minors. But I don't think I've, I haven't seen him take too many come this playoffs, maybe one, maybe one or two, but I would assume that he draws back in for the same reason. You just mentioned where like Buffalo is a big skilled team.

1726.619 - 1738.094 Unknown

They're going to need some physicality. So, but Hey, credit the dobson. Like you said, Yance for coming in and that situation. And, and having the jam to play in a game seven when you haven't gotten any reps, especially a team against Tampa.

1739.436 - 1755.096 Unknown

Yeah, and I mean, as far as any other individuals on Montreal, I just think it's awesome at the fact that they didn't really need that top line firing on all cylinders in order to get the job done. That's probably the biggest takeaway.

1755.216 - 1757.199 Whit

Hudson's incredible. Unbelievable.

Chapter 5: What are the key moments from the recent playoff games?

5809.244 - 5830.296 Unknown

I thought that Nate just should have been the one covering for him. That might be because I'm a Nate dog lifer, and he can do no wrong in my eyes. I'm like, I go Gary Lawless when you talk about the dog. But yeah, that was a clusterfuck of a game. I don't know who coined it, but that's crack hockey, baby.

0

5830.478 - 5831.199 Whit

Crack hockey.

0

5831.459 - 5834.482 Murr

Crack hockey. It was actually beyond crack hockey, what I was saying.

0

Chapter 6: How did injuries impact team performances in the playoffs?

5834.502 - 5858.864 Murr

It got closer to meth hockey. But Witt was talking about 2022 when the Avalanche and Oilers opened up with crack hockey. Game one, 8-6. I was there. 8-6. So I did some digging, did some stats for you guys. The next game, the Avalanche won 4-0. Game three, Avalanche won 4-2. And then game four went back to crack hockey. Avalanche won 6-5. So if you're expecting it to continue.

0

5858.884 - 5860.485 Whit

So we got some crack continued.

0

Chapter 7: What are the implications of roster changes for the upcoming season?

5860.465 - 5863.129 Murr

It may continue a little bit.

0

5863.309 - 5884.838 Whit

Murr, let me ask you a question. You had the Avs. That was your RPI brain. No matter what, they got the Avs next. If Erickson Eck and Brodine were playing, would you still be like, yeah, no chance. Avs, dust them. No chance. Fraud squad. Or after that Dallas series, are you like, okay, I was wrong. You were right.

0

5884.858 - 5894.775 Murr

No. No, I saw how good Minnesota was during that series, but I drew my line in the sand, as they say. I couldn't go back on it, but yeah, they're awesome. They're fast.

0

Chapter 8: How does the discussion of player contracts affect team dynamics?

5895.016 - 5903.751 Murr

They were so much faster than Dallas. Erickson, Ekbrodeen, I would have guessed it would have been a seven-game series, but without them, it's abs in five.

0

5904.853 - 5911.455 Keith

Who was a bigger upset lose in first round, Dallas or Edmonton? And I know Minnesota's a better team than Anaheim.

0

5911.475 - 5918.245 Murr

Oh, Edmonton. I think Edmonton, just because how bad Anaheim was at the end of the season. That's why everybody's giving Witt a hard time.

0

5918.265 - 5919.026 Whit

I still don't get it.

0

5919.186 - 5922.01 Murr

They were, I think, 2-10 down the stretch there.

5922.03 - 5948.043 Whit

I wouldn't have said any of those ridiculous, stupid, dumb comments I said. They weren't so pathetic. There was a chance at one point they were going to miss the playoffs. And then all of a sudden, they start the series first game. McDavid can't do anything. I'm like, okay, I missed the boat on this one. Quack. All right. Well, I really hope that Erickson, Ek, and Brodine are back in game three.

5948.103 - 5948.643 Whit

Don't know.

5949.084 - 5975.464 Unknown

But if I could just touch on Dallas, I think that that is a prime example of why the deadline matters so much, too. They picked up Bunting, and they picked up Myers. And, you know, bunting was basically a what a healthy scratch till it was Myers in game six. And then, well, yeah, bunting till I think game five, he got inserted. And then Myers just like had a very forgettable series. Right.

5975.685 - 5989.87 Unknown

And look at the impact that big sexy made for for Minnesota. I got two big goals there. And yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What's that? The guy like Dowd as well. That's what I'm saying. And like, you look at what, yeah, like you, Oh wow.
