On Episode 524 of Spittin’ Chiclets, the guys are joined by Utah’s Enforcer Liam “Big Tuna” O’Brien to discuss the inaugural upcoming season for the Hockey Club, how he made a name for himself in development camp, and playing under Ovechkins wing. But first, the boys are coming off an unreal Chiclets Cup in London, Ontario and even though the Big Deal Selects fell short of a championship yet again, there was still plenty of drama that ensued over the past week as Bruins GM Don Sweeney had some choice words for the Spittin’ up on yourself podcast. The Central Division preview has a lot in store as John-Michael Liles, Colby Armstrong, Billy Guerin, Barstool’s Big Cat, and Doug Armstrong join to talk all things hockey as we are just under two weeks away from opening night. A star studded cast and lots to talk about, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

Utah lowkey deep. Doan is going to be a stud
Peace! Love you, Mom!
I miss RA
Liam deserves everything and more I watched him many years in Hershey and was always me and my kids favorite. When he was on the ice everyone knew it. Miss the fights with him and Sestito ever match up with baby fans!!! I hated to see him go but I knew he was never going to anywhere in the caps organization. Hershey will always root for you!!!
I'm literally praying you guys get more GMs, it's so cool to see their own thoughts on players in depth and in a more casual conversation
Always baffles me that so many high end skilled veterans can’t even get a league minimum contract. So many times a team finally picks them up and they end up performing well. Maybe it’s a role problem? Like they can’t play on 3rd and 4th lines so they have to be better than a teams current top 6? You’d think especially a bottom feeder would love to have a Paccioretty, Barrie, Hoffman, etc. It’s zero risk, all reward right?
Why can’t those guys play on 3rd and 4th lines? All that experience and value in leadership for young players. Find it hard to believe the Blue Jackets, Ducks, Sharks or Blackhawks 3rd and 4th line, 3rd pair D players are all better than those guys. Can’t just rebuild with kids having no leadership and veterans around them.
*Chicago an exception bringing in Foligno for Bedard. A perfect example. Kid is learning how to be a pro and play the right way.
Johnny's winnnnnneee cave. Legendary
UHC season ticket holder here! We are soooo pumped for this team! Go UTAH!
Playing a dangerous game with Korpi as your starter. Coming from a sens fan. Guy let in muffins at the absolute worst times.
When is RAs return
I really hope RA hops on next week to cover the Bruins
If Bruins think Korpisalo can take Swayman's place and they don't need to pay Swayman, trade swayman to a team that will pay for him
Terry fox absolute legend and hero
I really enjoy the RA-less pods
The fact that there are people who get mad about other people donating to a charity is absolutely insane….
Keep up the good work, loved the POD, listened over two days while working, I don't mind the longer ones, Interviews were great, didn't realize spicy tuna was a East Coaster, I should have known when I saw his Utah speech. Looking forward to Yans carving up the Selects and hope RA is making out OK, and he can come back 100%. Cheers !
HOW exactly is Utah "a new team and not just a team moved from somewhere else" as per Whit?
The game notes chat was toxic lol just a bunch of goofs trying to get some attention saying the dumbest stuff. Army was flirting with anyone that claimed to be a female
I played against Dylan Samberg in high school and omg was he good. By far the best HS hockey player I ever saw hands down. Nobody was doubting he'd make the show and he looks like he'll have a good career as an NHLer, go Jets!
Doug Armstrong. What a beauty.
This podcast is miles better without RA. Keep RA in the minors
Great episode boys
Not a big Avs fan, but Rantanen has to be one of the most underrated/undermentioned players in the league when talking about the big household names around the league.
Redtail is the shit
Bringing people on for the previews kinda sucks. I just wanna hear you guys talk about the teams
As a jets fan I agree with Whitney
Jets are going to be a wildcard or just miss playoffs.
Lines will be
Connor Scheifele Villardi
Ehlers Lambert Perfetti
Nino Lowry Appleton
Chibrikov Namestnikov Iafallo
Extra Barron,Gus
Morrissey Demelo
Samberg Pionk
Miller Stanley
Fluery Coghlan
Salmonsson Heinola
Hellebuyck the backup losing Brossoit will hurt Kahkonen,Comrie,Milic.
Heinola got hurt again I don't think he will pane out. They need Yager,Lambert,Chibrikov,Lucius,Salmonsson,Milic,Barlow,Freijs to mix with the old core next 2yrs.
It be nice if they could get a solid top 4 when Pionk leaves.
1.Colorado
2.Dallas
3. Nashville
4. Utah,Jets,Blues,Blackhawks,Minnesota will be fighting wildcard.
bud that chicago skid sounds like he is from sudbury lmao 🍻🍻🍻🍻
Maybe the Bathrobe Selects will do better next year 🤞
Need RA back ASAP
It's nice as a Canadian to hear them shout out the Terry Fox foundation. Sucked hearing it described like it was something new though. I'm 30 years old and we always did Terry Fox runs and fund raising for as long as I was in school. This has been around in Canada for decades, but genuinely thanks for shouting it out boys. It's a real good cause.
Anyone else catch the Doug Armstrong slip about Russia potentially playing at the Four Nations? 4:02:20
Chiclets cup in Edmonton next year ?
