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 Bosco Sports.
I brought it towards the Coyotes and I asked them if it was okay if I joined the Spit Chicklets podcast full-time. Ryan Whitney's got a pink Whitney out there now. He's a full-time member. Marley just got an assist from Chris Bates.
Whoa, we're buzzing right now. Sonk.
What is up, everyone? Pinky's up. Pinky's up for episode 644 of Spittin' Chicklets. I was going to say, Biz, what time does the show start? But there he is. He's ready to go. Pinky's up. He was probably just – he might be back on the booze, and he was maybe getting a little Pink Whitney. Pinky's up. Quack.
Pre-game shit.
I was getting a nice little – Americano. Okay, Americano. That's your drink. Well, my drink's Pink Whitney. That's everyone's drink in the playoffs. That's everyone's drink in the summer. The beach, the golf course, the lake, the boat. It doesn't matter where you are. Go get a bottle of Pink Whitney. Pinkies up. What an incredible... Incredible couple days since we last recorded. I hope everyone had the chance to maybe tune in to our live stream Wednesday... Was that... No, Tuesday night? What night was that, G? Tuesday night? Tuesday night of the Avalanche just taking control of this series over the wild. We'll get into that. But it was... Right after. Some of the funniest content. I couldn't make up the content we got.
And for anyone who's maybe a little behind, I'll just quickly rehash. Biz is done with the Leafs. It was a very... I'd say enormous moment in this show. Years and years of just loving the Leafs hometown team. And he quit. And he had his reasons. And what happens after? What happens after is something I'll never forget. God willing, I'm 90 years old. I'm laying in a bed, old, can't even move. And somebody says, remember that draft lottery in 2026? And I just, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Because not only did the Leafs get the first overall pick, and now more than likely taking Gavin McKenna, who Biss said he was just going to follow to whatever team he went to, the number 12. I mean, the fact it was the number 12, man.
That's Gary giving me the double barrel on the way out. Gary giving you the double barrel. I mean, I don't even know who the guy was with the unkept beard that was behind the balls. I don't know where that guy came from. He's a Barstool guy, Ian said. He works at Barstool. He's one of the whack pack. Yeah, he's prototypical Barstool look. I thought he was Bluntman's assistant. Somebody told me. I mean, another aspect just to add to more of the chicklets content stream is just G going on a rant about what he's going to do with the sixth overall pick he's getting from Toronto. And boom, the Maple Leafs come out of nowhere. They win the lottery. Gavin McKenna will be a Toronto Maple Leaf unless they're just I think they'll be beyond dumb if they don't.
Well, I actually spoke to him and I told him I gave him an ultimatum. I said, if you go to the Toronto Maple Leafs, we're no longer in the fishing business together. So it's not a guarantee. I think it's up in the air right now. I think he's taking a real strong look at the business opportunity with the right hook fishing lure and how that could probably put a lot more money in his pocket than MLSC and Rogers can, especially on an entry-level contract, which we know are not very good. All thanks to the 100th guest on Game Notes, Alexander Jekyll. When he signed his fancy signing bonus, all of a sudden that was an end to that.
Yeah, thanks a lot.
Yeah, I have my reasons. Obviously, there's Leafs fans online who are like, oh, you're going to ditch our team because Arizona didn't sign a washed-up 40-year-old hockey player and you're going to be poopy pants like this is some charity league. They have no idea what they're talking about, these people. Zero. Zero clue what that guy did. Shane Doan, we're talking about what he did. And I don't even know if he wanted to play another year, whether he did or not, whether he wanted to be a part of the team, whether he wanted to play goal.
