Hello, everybody. Welcome to episode 281 of spit and checklists presented by Pink Whitney from our friends at New Amsterdam vodka here in the Bostal Sports podcast family.

Speaking of Pink Whitney, I've seen enough of you two pigeons already after just two days of exhibition games.

Holy shit boys, but hey, spam already is officially fucking back. Yeah, good is this.

Wait, go ahead.

Oh, you don't want to describe to the people how amazing it is that hockey's back on TV all day long. Saturday, there's five friggin games dude.

R.A. is going to, R.A. is going to smoke 15 balls and literally watch hockey for fucking 17 hours. He's going to be blind by the end of it, but he's going to have a ton of action on the games. I'm sure everyone will.

And yeah, I mean, I just, I just, I was a dog. I was dog in this whole thing. I was all over it.

It's, to me, it's fucking awesome. And if anything, it should be put, you know, just just as much as a Stanley Cup, if not more, just given the fact that now you're at the center stage.

Seems as though baseball's maybe fumbling what they got going on and we did it the right way as a hockey community anyway.

And then of course, NBA is getting going as well. But if they're able to execute this, this is going to be prime time.

Top four major sports doing it the right way, competing for the greatest trophy ever created.

Well said, Biz. And you know what? Hey, that's off to the NHL and NHL PA. I was skeptical like with and they've done everything in the Apollo. They've spent the money.

I mean, we saw the first couple exhibition games. By the way, it was never so excited to watch exhibition hockey.
