Around the league: standings and hot teams

On Episode 607 of Spittin’ Chiclets, the boys are joined by legendary broadcaster Joe Bowen for a packed show full of laughs, stories, and plenty of hockey talk. The guys break down Avs-Wild, then dive into history as Sidney Crosby passes Mario Lemieux to become the Penguins’ all-time points leader. A handful of recent trades get dissected, including Phillip Danault heading back to Montreal and Mason Marchment landing in Columbus. Biz sparks a debate on UFA contract lengths, Buffalo’s heater keeps rolling, and Jack Hughes returns with Tate McRae in the building. The Red Wings quietly stay hot, and the Leafs spiral raises big questions about the core and coaching.
