Hello, everybody. Welcome to episode 230 of Spit and Checklists.

Presented by Pink Whitney, the pink lemonade flavored vodka from our friends over at New Amsterdam vodka.

Oh, Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah and whatever else you may celebrate out there.

Watch while I listen to this. This isn't the usual episode. This is our holiday episode, which is a best up from the last year.

So we're going to jump right into it and kick it off without pal Sydney Crosby.

And now holy shit folks, we are now joined by a special, maybe the most special guest.

I got Carpool Tunnel Syndrome flicking through this kid's Wikipedia.

This intro is going to be long. It's going to be good. I'll start the 2005 first overall pick.

He won one world junior gold. He won one world cup. He was leading score in MVP. Thanks for coming.

He won two art Ross trophies. He's won two heart trophies, two Maurice Rashard trophies as leading goal score in the national hockey league.

Two time Olympic gold medalist. One of them caused me to get silver. Suck on that wit.

Two time cons, Smite winner, as playoff MVP. Three time MVP voted on by his peers. Ted Lindsay Ward and the Lester B Pearson Ward.

And most important three time Stanley Cup champion. He's watched the replacement movie five thousand times in his life.

He afforded me the chance to sit on my coach and just touch myself to watching Fred Couples golf swings on YouTube because he gave me so much money.

Our white whale Sydney Crosby.

What a treat, Sid. My first question after that intro and wit. Oh my god, did that go well?

Follow the same intro. Wow. What? What finally made you come on? This has been years in the making.

Well, I'm a little disappointed. I thought I was getting 187. Oh, this is on business. So they said that originally. He was on that.
