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, 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 Bates.
Whoa, we're buzzing right now. Sonk.
What is up, folks? Welcome. We're into the conference finals. Pinky's up. Welcome to episode 648 of the Spittin' Chicklets podcast. Biz, in North Carolina, he already told me that there's people in the lobby with Pink Whitney giving you Pinky's up, so I respect that. They're attacking you already. That's not really an attack, though. That's more just love for Pink Whitney. So Pinky's up. I know it'll be out in the amazing tailgates the Hurricanes get going. Paul. Playoff times, I bet you... There's a storm. We're about two hours away, maybe three hours away from that parking lot. Just lighting up, getting ready for game one. Carolina, Montreal, we got to go over. Game seven, a legendary game seven. Alex Newhook, just a hero in Montreal.
We got game one of the conference finals in Colorado, where Vegas... They said something a few weeks ago that Vegas had something cooking, and Merle's abs aren't. They're in one without McCartney. And we have Montreal Canadiens president Jeff Gorton joining the show. So this guy's had an amazing run in Boston. We've got to go over what he did there. People don't even realize what he did for the Bruins and what he's doing currently for the Canadians.
G told him it was Sportsnet and lied to him, so we got him on. He might sign off after two minutes. That's okay.
That's okay. I don't mind that. As long as we get him in, we can keep him in, I think.
AI.
We've got to get him to sign on. That's the big thing.
How is the playoff atmosphere in Montreal described?
But I guess we start with last night, the most recent events, and Vegas boys, Mitch Marner.
Oh, baby.
Currently, just quickly before I throw it over to one of you guys, this is the one I wanted to mention. He leads the playoffs in points, plus minus, takeaways from a forward, shorthanded assists, shorthanded points, and wins, I guess, obviously, because, you know, they got nine wins. Those are the biggest.
That's the biggest stat.
They're the only ones with nine wins. I... I can't believe Makar didn't play. Biz, where do you kind of want to start it? It's just, it's not panic time yet, is it, for Colorado? One game, right? That's it.
If there's no Makar this series, they're done, first of all. And, like, just watching them and, like, you know, Bluntman's obviously got me on the train, right? Like, he's been so pro-Vegas. He's like, look out here. Nutty for bloody. Nutty. That's the new term. We're itchy for Mitchie. We're nutty for Blunny. We're tanning for torts. But, like, the first couple games of playoffs, like, even that first series, like, you could see Carter Hart finally finding his rhythm. Boys, he's fucking locked and loaded right now. He is dialed in. So they got the goaltending. That back end, man, like... Hannafin, Anderson, McNabb, Dylan, Coughlin, Theodore. That's a fucking nice back end. They got a perfect balance of everything.
And man, all these guys that you don't really hear about, like the Colton Sissons, all these role players they got, they're fucking unbelievable. They're unbelievable. Dowd, look at Dowd's night last night, winning that draw to solidify things. So they got all things clicking, and then obviously the superstars are being the superstars. So I think that if there's no McCarr on the Avalanche side, boys, I think this could end in fucking six games. I thought that the first half of the game, I did like Colorado's game. But my biggest gripe with Colorado is they're not really getting around the net enough. Like they're not getting those second cracks. They're not disrupting enough. And it's a credit to the D for Vegas, man.
