Biz VS Buffalo - Craig Rivet Joined To Defend Sabres Fans - Episode 381

On Episode 381 of Spittin’ Chiclets, the guys are joined by Craig Rivet. Craig joined (01:27:40) the show to stand up for the good people of Buffalo against Biz's tirade against the city. We also dive into Craig’s NHL career, some hilarious pranks along the way, the Jack Eichel situation and tons more. But first, the fellas open the show discussing their trip to Toronto to promote the ScoreBet app and also dive into all the NHL news from the past week including Auston Matthews, The Oilers, and Ryan Getzlaf’s retirement announcement. The boys wrap up the show talking The Masters, the NBA (sick league) and some TV talk.

[@30AndHatingIt]

Uhhhh, you’re kidding right? Since the Vegas game they’ve been outstanding. It took getting Tuch in here and for Granato’s system to take hold. They play at the pace they had since the beginning of March, they’re in position to fight for a playoff spot. That’s reality. The first half of the season should not be factored into the team’s current identity. Consider the fact they lost Eichel, Reino, Risto and a few other pieces to begin the season, it’s this coach’s FIRST full season with the team, they didn’t have Tuch until later on…. and they STILL improved 8 spots in the standings over last year. This is a good team that could be damn good if they get a friggin goalie.

[@BWalker9313]

"You're not an honest fan" 🤣 whit was so upset, but he's right. I'm a die hard Flames fan, and we're killing it this year but I'm not going to look like a dummy and say we're going on a run. Minny, Colorado, St. Louis, and some of these other western teams are good. NHL playoffs are unlike any other sport. Anything can happen. Calgary could go on a run or they could get pumped in the 1st round.

Matthews definitely didnt score 50 in 50, but that's cool. There have been many players to score 50 in 50 personal games who were not awarded this record either. The record of 50 in 50 applies to goals scored before the team reaches 50 games played, and it would be nice if torontwits could stop revising history to fit their narrative.
