"Feud" Has Been Simmering Since Winter Classic Confrontation
Warning: Some images in this story will be too intense for younger fans of the Kraken mascot and those who oppose beheadings.
Popular hockey personality Paul "Biz" Bissonnette wasn't Spittin' Chiclets after Sunday's Seattle Kraken game - he was spittin' venom.
It wasn't enough that Seattle didn't put up much fight for the previous 2 1/2 hours on his network in a 4-1 loss to St. Louis.
As part of the NHL on TNT postgame panel, Bissonnette went ballistic on Kraken mascot Buoy. "You're done, Buoy! Season's over, pal! Hahahahahaha!"
If you're not familar with the Biz vs. Buoy backstory, they first got into it when Bissonnette tweeted that Buoy was the "Ugliest mascot in all professional sports."
Realizing a golden opportunity, Buoy's X account responded during TNT's broadcast of the Kraken vs. Golden Knights Winter Classic on New Year's Day.
Things got physical on the TNT set at T-Mobile Park.
Then today... well, let's just say "BizNasty" lost his head. For that matter, so did a replica Buoy doll he pulled from underneath the desk.
As Bissonnette literally ripped the stuffing out of Buoy, he continued his rant. "You're dead, Buoy! You're done. You're on waivers, pal. You're a liability."
The TNT technical crew, which really should know better, decided to take a shot of Buoy's lifeless melon on the floor of the set.
Next season, Biz really should join the actual Buoy as mascot at a Kraken home game. After all, the Spittin' Chiclets podcast host already knows all about trolling.
