Islander fan and TNT Host Liam McHugh got colleague Paul Bissonnette the best birthday gift.
LOS ANGELES, CA -- There's been an ongoing feud between former NHL enforcer turned podcast co-host and TNT analyst Paul Bissonnette and New York Islanders legend Butch Goring.
Biznasty, as the young folk call him, likes to stir the pot and go after Islanders fans to rile them up.
The beef has been around for years but really took shape last season:
That video led to this response by Goring:
Then Biz turned his attention to Goring, going after the four-time Stanley Cup champion in the DMs, inviting him to come on Spittin Chiclet's to show everyone how to put on diapers.
That led to this interaction:
It got to the point that NHL commissioner Gary Bettman asked Biz what was going on during the Stadium Series game between the Seattle Kraken and Vegas Golden Knights:
Now, there wasn't much for the Islanders to say in response to Bissonnette calling out the team when they were struggling, but now, all mouths have been shut with Patrick Roy's squad currently on a six-game bender entering Monday night's game against the Los Angeles Kings.
Biz's TNT colleague and Islander fan Liam McHugh got Biz the ultimate birthday gift, buying him a Butch Goring t-shirt:
Here was Biz unveling his gift live on TNT’s broadcast:
Biz is in the belief that the feud with Goring is all in good fun, but his co-host and former NHL Ryan Whitney truly thinks that No. 91 hates him.
We shall see if Goring gets on the Spittin' Chiclets pod at some point, but as long as the Islanders keep winning, Goring and the Blue & Orange faithful will have the upper hand.
